A. Preparation
The bulb of an alcohol thermometer was wrapped with a
small piece of cotton secured using a rubber band. The cotton
wick was dampened with water and then the thermometer was
swung in a circular motion for about 20 seconds. The
temperature reading was recorded, and the procedure was
conducted for three times.
Room temperature and pressure were recorded prior to
preparing six methanol-water mixtures. To meet the required
mole fraction methanol x as indicated in [5], the amount
of methanol in mL V was determined using the value
given by a modified version of the equation below, rounded
off to the nearest tenth. Respective mole fractions and

B. Experiment Proper
A tap water bath was prepared and the temperature of bath
and the room was taken. The prepared mixtures were placed in
the water bath for around ten minutes so that the samples could
be weighed at the same temperature.
The pycnometer was filled with a mixture from the flask
and then placed to the water bath for around ten minutes before
weighing. Three trials were prepared for each mixture and the
corresponding weights were recorded accordingly.

The ratio of the molecular weight and the density gave the
total molar volume of each mixture. Values obtained were
plotted against methanol mole fractions, and the best-fit
second-degree polynomial determined through Microsoft
Excel is shown below.

B. Analysis of Data
The data obtained shows that methanol and water
molecules interact with each other in the solution, expressed
as partial properties. Therefore, the individual volumes of
methanol and water do not necessarily add up to the volume of
