Abstract
The densities ofn-alkyl chlorides from pentyl chloride to hexadecyl chloride were determined at temperatures between 15–80°C at 5°C intervals. The densities increase linearly with temperature and chainlength. A four-constant equation, V=n/(−3.6640 × 10−5 T+0.07151)+1/(−5.6526 × 10−5 T+0.04243), was formulated. This formula accurately predicted the molal volume and, hence, the density for all then-alkyl chlorides at any temperature within the range.
