The densities (rho) and refractive indices (n) of binary mixtures of 1,4-dioxane with benzene, toluene, o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene, and mesitylene, including those of pure liquids, over the entire composition range expressed by mole fraction x, of 1,4-dioxane were measured at temperatures (288.15, 293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, 313.15, and 318.15) K under atmospheric pressure. From the experimental data, the excess molar volumes (V-m(E)), deviations in refractive indices (Delta n), partial molar volumes (V-m,V-1 degrees(infinity) and V-m,V-2 degrees(infinity)), and excess partial molar volumes (V-m,V-1 degrees(E,infinity) and V-m,V-2 degrees(E,infinity)) of the components at infinite dilution were calculated. The V-m(E) values were negative for 1,4-dioxane + benzene, positive for 1,4-dioxane + o-xylene, + m-xylene, + p-xylene, and + mesitylene mixtures over the entire mole fraction range at all investigated temperatures, and exhibit a sigmoid trend for 1,4-dioxane + toluene mixtures wherein V-m(E) changes sign from positive to negative as the mole fraction of 1,4-dioxane in the mixture is increased. The results indicate the presence of weak interactions between 1,4-dioxane and aromatic hydrocarbon molecules. The deviations in V-m(E) values follow the order benzene < toluene < p-xylene < m-xylene < o-xylene < mesitylene. It is observed that V-m(E) values depend on the number and position of the methyl groups in these aromatic hydrocarbons.
