Volumetric properties of binary liquid mixtures of ketones with chloroalkanes at different temperatures and atmospheric pressure

•Many engineering application require quantitative data on the volumetric properties of fluids.•Volumetric properties are important in the understanding mixing process.•Ours results are used to explain the molecular interaction in the mixtures.

In this work, densities data of binary liquid mixtures of ketones (2-butanone, 2-heptanone and cyclohexanone) with chloroalkanes (1,2-dichloroethane and 1,1,2,2-tetracloroethane) as a function of composition, under atmospheric pressure and at different temperatures from 288.15 to 313.15 K have been used to calculate excess molar volume. The partial volumetric properties at an infinite dilution were calculated using Redlich–Kister polynomial. We have also considered another approach, which is more convenient and accurate by calculating the partial volumetric properties at an infinite dilution through apparent molar volume.
