Volumetric and viscometric study of molecular interactions in the mixtures of some secondary alcohols with equimolar mixture of ethanol and N,N-dimethylacetamide at 308.15 K

Densities and viscosities of mixtures of isopropanol, isobutanol and isoamylalcohol with equimolar mixture of ethanol and N,N-dimethylacetamide have been measured at 308.15 K over the entire composition range. Deviations in viscosity, excess molar volume and excess Gibb’s free energy of activation of viscous flow have been calculated from the experimental values of densities and viscosities. Excess properties have been fitted to the Redlich-Kister type polynomial equation and the corresponding standard deviations have been calculated. The experimental data of viscosity have been used to test the applicability of empirical relations of Grunberg-Nissan, Hind-McLaughlin, Katti-Chaudhary and Heric-Brewer for the systems studied. Molecular interactions in the liquid mixtures have been investigated in the light of variation of deviation and of excess values in evaluated properties.
