Solubilities of ethylene,ethane, and carbon dioxide in mixed solvents consisting of methanol,acetone, and water

The amount of gas absorbed in a liquid solvent or solvent mixture is measured with a high-precision gas burette. Solubility coefficients (Henry and Ostwald coefficients) of C₂H₄ and C₂H₆ are determined at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure (1) in the pure solvents C₃H₆O, CH₃OH, and H₂O; (2) in the three binary mixtures of the solvents as a function of the composition of the solvent mixture; and (3) in several ternary mixtures of arbitrary composition. The experimental data are presented in diagrams and tables.Paper presented at the Ninth Symposium on Thermophysical Properties, June 24–27, 1985, Boulder, Colorado, U.S.A.
