in this study, the densities, excess molar volumes and partial molar volumes of four binary systems containing n,n-dimethyl acetamide (dmac) with 1-alkanols (1-butanol up to 1-heptanol) are measured at 298.15 k. the results showed both constructive and expansive excess volumetric behavior for studying binary mixtures. deviation values of heavy alcohol have more positive and less negative excess...

lead is quantitatively retained on 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (5-br-padap)-ammonium tetraphenylborate with microcrystalline naphthalene or by a column method in the ph range 4.0-6.0 from a large volume of aqueous solutions of various samples with preconcentration factor of 60. after filtration, the solid mass consisting of the lead complex and naphthalene was dissolved with 5...
