Excess molar volumes of the (cyclohexane plus pentane, or hexane, or heptane, or octane, or nonane) systems at the temperature 298.15 K

The densities of the (cyclohexane + pentane, or hexane, or heptane, or octane, or nonane) systems were measured at the temperature 298.15 K by means of a vibrating-tube densimeter. Their respective excess molar volumes were calculated and correlated using the fourth-order Redlich-Kister equation, with the maximum likelihood principle being applied in the determination of the adjustable parameters. The values of excess molar volumes were negative for the cyclohexane + pentane system, whereas they were positive for the other systems with the values increasing with the number of carbon atoms in the respective alkane molecules.
