Boiling temperatures at 95.8 kPa, over the entire composition range are measured for the binary mixtures formed by dimethyl carbonate with 1,2,-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene-making use of a Swietoslawski-type ebulliometer. The liquid phase composition versus temperature measurements are found to be well represented by the Wilson model. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
