Structure of Carbon Tetrachloride + t-Butanol Mixtures from Positron Annihilation and Ultrasonic Velocity Measurements

The densities of and sound velocities in t-butyl alcohol solutions in CCl$\text{}_{4}$ were determined in temperature range 25 to 45°C. From these data the adiabatic compressibility coefficients of the solutions were calculated, as well as excess densities and compressibilities. The positron annihilation spectrum for this system in room temperature was measured. The results plotted against alcohol concentration suggest that the structural processes occurring in this system are caused by dimerization of the solute molecules.
