TOPOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF MOLAR EXCESS VOLUMES OF QUINOLINE WITH ALKANOLS

Excess volumes V(E) of binary liquid mixtures of quinoline with alkanols have been determined from densities at 30-degrees-C as a function of composition. The excess volumes are negative over the whole fraction range for all the mixtures and decrease with increasing length of alkanol (C1-C10). The V(E) data have been analyzed in terms of an approach which uses graph theoretical connectivity parameters of the third degrees for two components. The analysis gives information regarding associated species in the pure state and in the mixture. It is suggested that, in the mixture state, no change occurs in the association of alkanols.
