The critical constants and orthobaric densities of acetone, chloroform, benzene, and carbon tetrachloride

Abstract

The specific volumes and pressures in the saturated states of the pure liquids acetone, benzene, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride have been determined from a temperature of 100 °C and a pressure of about 2 atm up to the highest temperatures and pressures at which liquid and vapor coexist. The critical temperatures have been determined by the method of disappearance of meniscus, critical densities from the law of the rectilinear diameter, and critical pressures by extrapolation of the log P vs. 1/T line to the critical temperature.
