Excess molar volumes ($V_m^E$) of binary mixtures of 1-propanol or 2-propanol (1) + cyclohexane or n-hexane (2) were measured with V-shaped dilatometer at 303.15 K. The $V_m^E$ data for these mixtures varied as: 2-propanol > 1-propanol and were higher for cyclohexane than n-hexane for both propanol systems. The experimental data were correlated with Redlich-Kister polynomial. The $V_m^E$ data were interpreted qualitatively as well as quantitatively in terms of Flory-Treszczanowicz-Benson model and Prigogine-Flory-Patterson theory. Both models correctly described the sign and shape of $V_m^E$ vs $x_1$ curves. The values calculated by both the models agree well with the experimental data.

Densities (ρ) for binary mixtures of ethanol (1) + diisopropyl ether (DIPE) or cyclohexane or alkane (C₆-C₉) (2) were measured at 298.15 K, 308.15 K and 318.15 K. The excess molar volume (V^E_m) of binary mixtures was calculated using ρ data and correlated with Redlich-Kister polynomial equation. The V^E_m values for binary mixtures of ethanol (1) + cyclohexane or n-alkane (C₆-C₉) (2) were positive, whereas for ethanol (1) + DIPE (2) these were negative. The magnitude of V^E_m values follows the order: cyclohexane > n-nonane > n-octane > n-heptane > n-hexane > DIPE. The V^E_m values have been interpreted qualitatively and also quantitatively in terms of Flory-Treszczanowicz-Benson (FTB) model and Prigogine-Flory-Patterson (PFP) theory. The values V^E_m predicted using FTB model agree well with experimental V^E_m values at all mole fractions. But the PFP theory describes well V^E_m data in ethanol-rich region (x₁ > 0.5) for all binary mixtures and is able to predict the sign of V^E_m vs x₁ curve for ethanol-lean region (x₁ < 0.5) except for ethanol (1) + nonane (2) mixtures.
