Densities and derived thermodynamic properties of (2-methoxyethanol + 1-propanol, or 2-propanol, or 1,2-propandiol) at temperatures from T = (293.15 to 343.15) K
Introduction
The compound 2-methoxyethanol, commonly known as methyl cellosolve, is a widely used industrial solvent that possesses unique solvating properties associated with its quasiprotic character. The 2-methoxyethanol, an ether alcohol, shows physicochemical characteristics midway between protic and dipolar aprotic solvents [1], [2]. From a theoretical point of view, mixtures containing hydroxyethers are very important, not only because of their self-association but also due to the strong intramolecular effects which is produced by the presence of –O– and –OH groups in the same molecule [3]. Physicochemical and thermodynamic investigations play an important role in helping to understand the nature and the extent of the patterns of molecular aggregation that exist in binary liquid mixtures and their sensitivities to variations in composition and the molecular structure of the pure components [4], [5]. The experimental data of excess thermodynamic properties of liquid mixtures provide useful information about molecular interactions and can be used to test thermodynamic models [6], [7], [8]. The 2-methoxyethanol binary mixtures systems with 1-propanol, 2-propanol and 1,2-propandiol help us to understand the effect of the position of the hydroxyl group in hydrogen bond systems on the excess thermodynamic properties.
We report in this paper the measurements on density and derived thermodynamic properties of (2-methoxyethanol + 1-propanol, or 2-propanol, or 1,2-propandiol) at temperatures from (293.15 to 343.15) K and ambient pressure 81.5 kPa, using an oscillating u-tube densimeter over the entire range of compositions. The excess molar volumes were correlated with a Redlich–Kister type equation. As far as we know there is not any reference for the studied binary mixtures at these temperatures.

Materials
All products were high purity Merck reagents (GC mass fraction purity ⩾0.995) and were used without further purification. The stated purities of the solvents by the manufacturer were further ascertained by comparing their density with the corresponding literature values [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15] and they are in good agreement. Purity grades and density of the pure components are listed in table 1.
Apparatus and procedure
The apparatus used in this work is an Anton Paar digital vibrating u-tube densimeter
Results and discussions
The densities ρ, for pure liquids and for the binary mixtures at different concentrations were determined over the temperature range (293.15 to 343.15) K at intervals of 10 K. The excess molar volumes of the binary mixtures were computed by applying the following equation:where Mi and ρi are the molar mass and density of pure component, respectively, and ρ is the density of a mixture.
The average uncertainty in the excess molar volume is estimated to ±6 · 10−3 cm3 · mol−1. The
