Different parameters were determined through the experiment. The molar volumes were
only about 25 cm3/mol, whereas the original liquid used 30 cm3. This is due to the amount the
pycnometer could handle. Even though that was the case, the concentration of the mixture stayed
the same since nothing was added to the mixture. It could be seen from the table above that some
values of molar volume were negative. This meant that the liquid phase contracted as solute was
added. Its value became positive when less amount of ethanol were used and high amount of
water were used.

The graph had showed that the molar change in volume of the mixture was directly proportional
to the mole fraction of water. By plotting the change in molar volume and the mole fraction of
water, the resulting equation of the line was used to help determine the values of the partial molar
volumes of water and ethanol.
The partial molar volumes of ethanol and water were obtained through
𝑑𝑉 𝑑𝑉
𝑉1 = 𝑉 − (𝑥1 ) 𝑑𝑥 for water, and 𝑉2 = 𝑉 + (1 − 𝑥1 ) 𝑑𝑥 for ethanol. It could be seen at the table

above that as the mole fraction of ethanol increased, the partial molar volume of ethanol also
increased, and almost approached the original volume used for the pure liquid (30 cm3). For water,
as the mole fraction of water increased in amount. The molar volumes and partial molar volumes
of each component differs with each other because the molecular interaction of the between water
and ethanol were no longer an individual property. As the components were combined, the
volume of the mixture changed itself as to how its particles existed.
