RODRIGUEZ, Gerson A. et al. Volumetric properties of (PEG 400 + water) and (PEG 400 + ethanol) mixtures at several temperatures and correlation with the Jouyban-Acree model. Rev. colomb. cienc. quim. farm. [online]. 2012, vol.41, n.2, pp.187-202. ISSN 0034-7418.

Molar volumes and excess molar volumes were investigated from density values for (PEG 400 + water) and (PEG 400 + ethanol) binary mixtures at temperatures from 283.15 K to 313.15 K. Both systems exhibit negative excess volumes probably due to increased interactions like hydrogen bonding and/or large differences in molar volumes of components. Volume thermal expansion coefficients were also calculated for binary mixtures and pure solvents. The Jouyban-Acree model was used for density and molar volume correlations of the studied mixtures at different temperatures. The mean relative deviations between experimental and calculated density data were 0.1 and 0.5 %, for aqueous and ethanolic mixtures, respectively; whereas, in molar volume data the values were 18.0 and 6.9 %, for aqueous and ethanolic mixtures, respectively. The trained versions of the model for PEG 400 binary solvents could be used to predict the density values of other PEGs with reasonable prediction error employing the density of mono-solvents.
