Density and surface tension variation with temperature for n-nonane + 1-hexanol

New experimental densities and surface tensions for n-nonane + 1-hexanol at 288.15, 298.15 and 308.15 K are reported. Densities were measured with an Anton Paar DMA 4500 densimeter, and surface tensions using a Lauda TVT2 automated tensiometer, which uses the principle of the pending drop volume. The experimental data of pure liquids and mixtures have been used to calculate excess molar volumes and surface tension deviations of n-nonane + 1-hexanol as a function of mole fractions. A comparative study of these properties together with those available in the literature for the n-alkane + 1-alkanol mixtures has been performed. In addition, the magnitude of these experimental quantities is discussed in terms of the nature and type of intermolecular interactions in binary mixtures.
