Physical observations of the butanol mixtures in all three ratios were different to all physical observation previous. In the previous the Methanol and Ethanol tests, it was clear that there was alcohol mixed through out the water and the water appeared cloudy.

In the Butanol tests the contraction was present yet there was no clear mixutre of the two compounds. The water and alkanol clearly separated from each other. To see whether they will mix over time I left all three tests separate covered and will check them tomorrow.

It apparent so far that the longer the alkanol chain has a affect of the diffuseness gradient.
