Abstract
This study has been made to determine the solubility relationships that exist between dioxane, water, and isobutyl alcohol at a temperature of 25◦ centigrade. At this temperature isobutyl alcohol and water are only partially miscible. By weight, isobutyl alcohol is soluble in water to the extent of 8.12% and water is soluble in isobutyl alcohol to the extent of 17.01%. Mixtures with gross composition that lies between these two extremes will separate into two phases. One phase will be a saturated solution of water in alcohol. Dioxane at this temperature is completely misicible. Determining the ternary solubility curve for dioxane, water, and isobutyl alcohol at 25◦ is the aim of this thesis.
