Apparent molal volume of the solutions of CaCl2 and Ca(NO3)(2) in ethanol are reported and correlated using equations obtained from the various local composition (LC) models. The considered models are e-NRTL, NRF, MNRTL, and EW models. The applicability of the models has been discussed with comparing their standard deviations with those obtained from the Pitzer model and a polynomial equation. Limiting partial molal volumes of the salts have been obtained using dilute region data via the Redlich-Meyer equation. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
