Thermodynamic, spectroscopic and ultrasonic absosrption studies of water + 1,3-dioxolane mixtures

Abstract

The excess enthalpies and volumes of mixing are reported for water + 1,3-dioxolane mixtures at 5, 25 and 45°C. The effects are also reported of added 1,3-dioxolane on the ultrasonic absorption properties of water, the near infra-red spectra of 6M HOD in D₂O and the charge-transfer-to-solvent spectra of iodide in water at different temperatures. The data are compared with similar data for t-butyl alcohol + water and methyl cyanide + water mixtures.
