Measurements of the excess enthalpies H-E at T = 298.15 K and densities at 15 K intervals from T = (283.15 to 313.15) K are reported for (2-ethoxyethanol + 1,4-dioxane or 1,2-dimethoxyethane). Excess volumes V-E, excess thermal expansivities alpha(E), and the pressure derivatives of the excess enthalpies were estimated from the measured densities. The values of H-E for both systems are positive, However, the values of V-E for the 1,2-dimethoxyethane system are negative, although they are positive for the 1,4-dioxane system as expected from the sign of H-E. The behaviour of these properties is discussed in terms of hydrogen bonds and size and shape of the ether molecules.
