Solubility of anthracene in binary alcohol plus 2-propoxyethanol solvent mixtures

Experimental solubilities are reported for anthracene dissolved in seven binary mixtures containing 2-propoxyethanol with l-propanol, 2-propanol, l-butanol, 2-butanol, l-pentanol, l-octanol, and 3-methyl-1-butanol at 25 degrees C. Results of these measurements are used to test two mathematical representations based upon the combined nearly ideal binary solvent (NIBS)/Redlich-Kister equation and modified Wilson model. For the seven systems studied, both equations were found to provide an accurate mathematical representation of the experimental data, with an overall average absolute deviation between measured and calculated values being on the order of 0.5%.
