Abstract
The diffusion coefficients, D ij , for the ternary system water + chloroform + acetic acid are reported at five compositions. This system presents a large solubility gap due to the almost complete insolubility between water and chloroform. The analyzed compositions have a fixed mole ratio of water and chloroform and a decreasing amount of acetic acid when approaching the binodal curve. The difficulty of interpreting the D ij is stressed, and the use of different choices of which component is the solvent and a different reference frame for the diffusive transport is suggested to extract all the possible information from the diffusion coefficients.
