| Summary: | The diaphragm cell method technique was used to determine the diffusion coefficients of selected binary systems (Cyclopentanol-Acetic acid, Cyclohexanol-Acetic acid and Methylcyclohexanol-Acetic acid). The technique was chosen because of simplicity and accuracy. The stirring rate was 60 rpm. The diaphragm cell was calibrated at 298.15 K by diffusing of 0.1 N KCl solution into distilled water. The experimental diaphragm cell constant (ß) was found 0.09293 cm -2 . The temperature of water bath was controlled by a contact thermometer with an accuracy of ± 0.1 °C. The obtained experimental diffusion coefficients for Cyclopentanol-Acetic acid, Cyclohexanol-Acetic acid and Methylcyclohexanol - Acetic acid binary systems were 2.40 x 10 -5 cm 2 /s, 1.16 x 10 -5 cm 2 /s, 3.97 x 10 -5 cm 2 /s, respectively. Furthermore, diffusion coefficients have been estimated by the theoretical methods of Wilke - Chang and Scheibel equations and compared with the experimental results. |
