Ultrasonic studies on binary mixtures of some aromatic ketones with acetonitrile at T = 308.15 K

The speed of sound and density of acetophenone, propiophenone, para-methyl acetophenone, and para-chloro acetophenone with acetonitrile have been measured over the entire range of mole fraction at T = 308.15 K. From the experimentally determined data, values of deviations in speed of sound, isentropic compressibility, and intermolecular free-length have been computed. The deviation in isentropic compressibility Δκ_S is fitted to a Redlich–Kister type equation. The deviation in speed of sound is positive where as the deviations in isentropic compressibility and intermolecular free length are negative for all the systems. This trend indicates that the specific interactions are operative between unlike molecules. The reactivity order of ketones with acetonitrile is para-chloro acetophenone > para-methyl acetophenone > acetophenone > propiophenone.     

Volumetric and ultrasonic studies of the system (water + polypropylene glycol 400) at temperatures from (283.15 to 313.15) K

Ultrasonic velocity and density of aqueous solutions of polypropylene glycol have been measured experimentally over the whole range of composition at temperatures T = (283.15 to 313.15) K and atmospheric pressure. From these experimental data, the excess specific volumes, isentropic compressibility, increments of the ultrasonic velocity, and the isentropic compressibility have been determined for each composition. The results have been interpreted in light of polymer–solvent and polymer–polymer interactions. Also, the excess specific volumes, the increments of the ultrasonic velocity, and the isentropic compressibility were fitted to a variable-degree polynomial equation.     

Excess molar volumes and ultrasonic studies of dimethylsulphoxide with ketones at T = 303.15 K

Excess molar volumes (V^E) and ultrasonic sound velocities at T = 303.15 K and ambient pressure have been measured as a function of composition for the binary liquid mixtures of dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) with ketones. The ketones studied in the present investigation include ethyl methyl ketone (EMK), diethylketone (DEK), methyl propyl ketone (MPK), methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), and cyclohexanone (CH). The V^E values were measured using a dilatometer and were positive over the entire mole fraction range for all systems except in the binary system DMSO with EMK where the V^E exhibits an inversion in sign. The experimental V^E values have been correlated using Redlich–Kister and Hwang et al. equations. The ultrasonic sound velocities for the above systems have been measured with a single crystal interferometer at a frequency of 3 MHz. The sound velocity (u) data have been used to calculate isentropic compressibility (K_s) and deviation in isentropic compressibility (ΔK_s) over the entire range of volume fraction. The sound velocity data have been predicted in terms of free length theory (FLT), collision factor theory (CFT), and Nomoto relation. The results reveal that all the theories gave a satisfactory estimate of the sound velocity. The deviations in values of isentropic compressibility (ΔK_s) were negative over the entire range of volume fraction in all the binary liquid mixtures. The results are interpreted with respect to possible molecular interactions between components.     

Excess molar volumes and ultrasonic studies of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone with ketones at T = 303.15 K

Excess molar volumes (V^E) and ultrasonic studies at T = 303.15 K and atmospheric pressure have been measured over the whole composition range for the binary mixtures of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) with ketones. The ketones studied in the present investigation include methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), diethylketone (DEK), methyl propyl ketone (MPK), methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), and cyclohexanone (CH). The V^E values were measured using a dilatometer and were negative over the entire mole fraction range for NMP with MEK, DEK, MPK, and MIBK and were positive for NMP with CH. The ultrasonic sound velocities for the above systems were measured with a single crystal interferometer at a frequency of 3 MHz. The sound velocity (u) results have been used to calculate isentropic compressibility (K_s) and deviation in isentropic compressibility (ΔK_s) over the entire range of volume fraction. The sound velocity results have been predicted in terms of free length theory (FLT), collision factor theory (CFT), and Nomoto relation. The results reveal that all the theories gave a satisfactory estimate of the sound velocity. The deviation values of the isentropic compressibilities (ΔK_s) were negative over the entire range of volume fraction in all the binary liquid mixtures except in the binary system NMP with CH, where we observed positive ΔK_s values. The results are interpreted on possible molecular interactions between components.     

Influence of the alkyl group on thermophysical properties of carboxylic acids in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate ionic liquid at various temperatures

In the present study, influence of the alkyl group and temperature on the interactions between the carboxylic acid and ionic liquid (IL) mixtures were discussed in term of density and sound velocity measurements. The IL used in this study was 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate ([BMIM]⁺[SCN]⁻). The density (ρ), and sound velocity (u), of the IL, acetic acid, propionic acid, and their corresponding binary systems {[BMIM]⁺[SCN]⁻ (x₁) + acetic or propionic acid (x₂)} have been measured at T = (293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15) K and at p = 0.1 MPa. The excess molar volumes, $V_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$, isentropic compressibility, κ_s, and deviation in isentropic compressibility, Δκ_s, were calculated using experimental density and sound velocity data, respectively. The Redlich–Kister polynomial equation was used to fit the excess/deviation properties. These results are useful for describing the intermolecular interactions that exist between the IL and carboxylic acid mixtures.     

Thermodynamic and transport properties of (1,2-ethanediol + 1-nonanol) at temperatures from (298.15 to 313.15) K

Densities and kinematic viscosities have been measured for (1,2-ethanediol + 1-nonanol) over the temperature range from (298.15 to 313.15) K. The speeds of sound in those mixtures within the temperature range from (293.15 to 313.15) K have been measured as well. Using the measurement results, the molar volumes, isentropic compressibility coefficients, molar isentropic compressibilities, and the corresponding excess and deviation values (excess molar volumes, excess isentropic compressibility coefficients, excess molar isentropic compressibilities, differently defined deviations of the speed of sound, and dynamic viscosity deviations) were calculated. The excess Gibbs free energies estimated by the use of the UNIQUAC model are also reported. The excess molar volumes and Gibbs free energies are positive, whereas the compressibility excesses are s-shaped. The excess and deviation values are expressed by Redlich–Kister polynomials and discussed in terms of variations of the structure of the system caused by the participation of two different alcohol molecules in the dynamic intermolecular association process through hydrogen bonding. The effect of temperature is discussed. The predictive abilities of the McAllister equation for viscosities of the mixtures under test have also been examined.     

Solvation of ionic liquids based on N-methyl-N-alkyl morpholinium cations in dimethylsulfoxide – volumetric and compressibility studies

The density and sound velocity of the solutions of ionic liquids based on N-alkyl-N-methyl-morpholinium cations, N-ethyl-N-methylmorpholinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, N-butyl-N-methylmorpholinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, N-methyl-N-octyl-morpholinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide and N-decyl-N-methylmorpholinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide in dimethylsulfoxide were measured at T = (298.15 to 318.15) K and at atmospheric pressure. The apparent molar volume and apparent molar compressibility values were evaluated from density and sound velocity values and fitted to the Masson equation from which the partial molar volume and partial molar isentropic compressibility of the ILs at infinite dilution were also calculated at working temperatures. By using the density values, the limiting apparent molar expansibilities were estimated. The effect of the alkyl chain length of the ILs and experimental temperature on these thermodynamic properties is discussed. In addition, molecular dynamics simulations were used to interpret the measured properties in terms of interactions of ILs with solvent molecules. Both, volumetric measurements results and molecular dynamics simulations for ionic liquids in dimethylsulfoxide were compared and discussed with results obtained for the same IL in acetonitrile.     

Effect of tri-potassium phosphate on volumetric,acoustic, and transport behaviour of aqueous solutions of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide at T = (298.15 to 318.15) K

Density, sound velocity, and viscosity of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, [Emim][Br], in aqueous solutions of tri-potassium phosphate with salt weight fractions (w_s = 0.00, 0.10, 0.15, and 0.20) have been measured as a function of concentration of [Emim][Br] at atmospheric pressure and T = (298.15, 303.15, 308.15, 313.15, and 318.15) K. The apparent molar volume, isentropic compressibility, apparent isentropic compressibility, and relative viscosity values have been evaluated from the experimental data. The partial molar volume and isentropic compressibility at infinite dilution, and viscosity B-coefficient obtained from these data have been used to calculate the corresponding transfer parameters for the studied IL from water to the aqueous tri-potassium phosphate solutions. Also, an empirical equation was satisfactorily used to correlate the experimental viscosity data.

Density, ρ, speed of sound, u, and refractive index, n_D, at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure have been measured over the entire composition range for (toluene + methyl acetate + butyl acetate) and (toluene + methyl acetate + methyl heptanoate) systems. Excess molar volumes, V^E, isentropic compressibility, κ_s, isentropic compressibility deviations, Δκ_s, and changes of refractive index on mixing, Δn_D, for the above systems, have been calculated from experimental data and fitted to Cibulka, Singh et al., and Nagata and Sakura equations, standard deviations from the regression lines are shown. Geometrical solution models, Tsao and Smith, Kholer, Jacob and Fitzner, Rastogi et al. were also applied to predict ternary properties from binary contributions.     

Viscosity,density, and speed of sound of methylcyclopentane with primary and secondary alcohols at T = (293.15, 298.15, and 303.15) K

Viscosities, densities, and speed of sound have been measured over the whole composition range for (methylcyclopentane with ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-propanol, 2-butanol, and 2-pentanol) at T = (293.15, 298.15, and 303.15) K and atmospheric pressure along with the properties of the pure components. Excess molar volumes, isentropic compressibility, deviations in isentropic compressibility, and viscosity deviations for the binary systems at the above-mentioned temperatures were calculated and fitted to Redlich–Kister equation to determine the fitting parameters and the root-mean square deviations. UNIQUAC equation was used to correlate the experimental data. Dynamic viscosities of the binary mixtures have been predicted using UNIFAC-VISCO and ASOG-VISCO methods.     

Excess molar volumes and isentropic compressibility of binary systems {trioctylmethylammonium bis(trifluoromethysulfonyl)imide + methanol or ethanol or 1-propanol} at different temperatures

This paper reports measurements of densities for the binary systems of an ionic liquid and an alkanol at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 313.15) K. The IL is trioctylmethylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [OMA]⁺[Tf₂N]^? and the alkanols are methanol, or ethanol, or 1-propanol. The speed of sound at T = 298.15 K for the same binary systems was also measured. The excess molar volumes and the isentropic compressibilities for the above systems were then calculated from the experimental densities and the speed of sound, respectively. Redlich–Kister smoothing polynomial equation was used to fit the excess molar volume and the deviation in isentropic compressibility data. The partial molar volumes were determined from the Redlich–Kister coefficients. For all the systems studied, the excess molar volumes have both negative and positive values, while the deviations in isentropic compressibility are negative over the entire composition range.     

Adiabatic compressibility of pseudo-binary aqueous solutions of tert-butyl alcohol and dimethylsulfoxide as a result of ultrasonic investigations

The tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) are two small molecules geometrically very similar, but having different polar groups. Taking into account the intermolecular interactions in the TBA/H₂O and DMSO/H₂O systems, especially in the water-rich region of concentration, the ultrasonic speeds (high accuracy resonance method at the frequency 7.5 MHz) and densities in pseudo-binary mixtures of the system: (TBA + H₂O + DMSO) with the ratio (TBA + DMSO)/H₂O = 1/25 have been measured. From these data, various thermodynamical parameters such as adiabatic compressibility, molar volume, thermal expansivity, and the deviation from reference system have been calculated. In addition, the isobaric molar heat capacity to convert adiabatic compressibility to the isothermal one has been measured. All these parameters have been discussed to explain solute–solvent and solute–solute interactions, especially the effect of the complexation process between TBA and DMSO molecules. The composition dependence of these deviations functions was interpreted in the light of the mixing schemes in the aqueous solutions of TBA and DMSO.     

Densities,sound velocities,and refractive indexes of (tetralin + n-decane) and thermodynamic modeling by Prigogine–Flory–Patterson model

Mixtures of tetralin (1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene), an aromatic cyclic molecule, and n-decane present asymmetries in chemical nature, shape, and chain length, and are frequently found, e.g., in naphtha or kerosene fractions. Aiming at understanding the impact of these asymmetries on some thermophysical properties, this work presents densities, sound velocities, and refractive indexes for this binary system along with the properties of the pure components at T = (293.15, 303.15, 313.15, 323.15, 333.15, and 343.15) K over whole composition range and atmospheric pressure. From these data, the following derived properties were obtained: isentropic compressibility, molar refractivity, excess volume, excess isentropic compressibility, molar refractivity deviations, and thermal expansion coefficient. Several sound velocity mixing rules were tested, and the best result was for Nomoto mixing rule. Pure component densities and sound velocities were correlated with Prigogine–Flory–Patterson (PFP) model. The binary interaction parameter for this model was obtained from correlation of excess volumes and isentropic compressibilities. This model correlated experimental densities very well and correlated reasonably well sound velocities and thermal expansion coefficient.     

Thermodynamic properties of (tetradecane + benzene, + toluene, + chlorobenzene, + bromobenzene, + anisole) binary mixtures at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K

Density ρ, viscosity η, and refractive index n_D, values for (tetradecane + benzene, + toluene, + chlorobenzene, + bromobenzene, + anisole) binary mixtures over the entire range of mole fraction have been measured at temperatures (298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K at atmospheric pressure. The speed of sound u has been measured at T = 298.15 K only. Using these data, excess molar volume V^E, deviations in viscosity Δη, Lorentz–Lorenz molar refraction ΔR, speed of sound Δu, and isentropic compressibility Δk_s have been calculated. These results have been fitted to the Redlich and Kister polynomial equation to estimate the binary interaction parameters and standard deviations. Excess molar volumes have exhibited both positive and negative trends in many mixtures, depending upon the nature of the second component of the mixture. For the (tetradecane + chlorobenzene) binary mixture, an incipient inversion has been observed. Calculated thermodynamic quantities have been discussed in terms of intermolecular interactions between mixing components.     

Density,speed of sound,and refractive index measurements for the binary systems (butanoic acid + propanoic acid,or 2-methyl-propanoic acid) at T = (293.15 to 313.15) K

Density, speed of sound, and refractive index for the binary systems (butanoic acid + propanoic acid, or 2-methyl-propanoic acid) were measured over the whole composition range and at T = (293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, and 313.15) K. The excess molar volumes, isentropic compressibilities, excess isentropic compressibilities, molar refractions, and deviation in refractive indices were also calculated by using the experimental densities, speed of sound, and refractive indices data, respectively. The Redlich–Kister smoothing polynomial equation was used to fit the excess molar volume, excess isentropic compressibility and deviation in refractive index data. The thermodynamic properties have been discussed in terms of intermolecular interactions between the components of the mixtures.     

Thermodynamic and transport properties of (1-Butanol + 1,4-Butanediol) at temperatures from (298.15 to 318.15) K

Densities and kinematic viscosities have been measured for (1-butanol + 1,4-butanediol) over the temperature range from (298.15 to 318.15) K. The speeds of sound within the temperature range from (293.15 to 318.15) K have been measured as well. Using these results and literature values of isobaric heat capacities, the molar volumes, isentropic and isothermal compressibility coefficients, molar isentropic and isothermal compressibilities, isochoric heat capacities as well as internal pressures were calculated. Also the corresponding excess and deviation values (excess molar volumes, excess isentropic and isothermal compressibility coefficients, excess molar isentropic and isothermal compressibilities, different defined deviation speed of sound and dynamic viscosity deviations) were calculated. The excess values are negative over the whole concentration and temperature range. The excess and deviation values are expressed by Redlich–Kister polynomials and discussed in terms of the variations of the structure of the system caused by the participation of the two different alcohol molecules in the dynamic intermolecular association process through hydrogen bonding at various temperatures. The predictive abilities of Grunberg–Nissan and McAllister equations for viscosities of mixtures have also been examined.     

Volumetric and isentropic compressibility behaviour of aqueous solutions of (polyvinylpyrrolidone + sodium citrate) at T = (283.15 to 308.15) K

The apparent specific volumes and isentropic compressibilities have been determined for polyvinylpyrrolidone in aqueous solutions of sodium citrate by density and sound velocity measurements at T = (283.15 to 308.15) K at atmospheric pressure. The results show a positive transfer volume of PVP from an aqueous solution to an aqueous sodium citrate solution. For low concentrations of PVP, the apparent specific volumes of PVP in water increased along with an increase in the polymer mass fraction, while in aqueous sodium citrate solutions decreased along with an increase in the polymer mass fraction. For high concentrations of PVP, the apparent specific volumes of PVP in water and in aqueous sodium citrate solutions were independent of the polymer mass fraction. The apparent specific isentropic compressibility of PVP is negative at T = (283.15 and 288.15) K, which imply that the water molecules around the PVP molecules are less compressible than the water molecules in the bulk solutions. The positive values of apparent specific isentropic compressibility at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K imply that the water molecules around the PVP molecules are more compressible than the water molecules in the bulk solutions. Finally, it was found that the apparent specific isentropic compressibility of PVP increases as the concentration of sodium citrate increases.     

Surface tension,density, and speed of sound for the ternary mixture {diethyl carbonate + p-xylene + decane}

This paper reports the results of a new experimental study of thermophysical properties for the ternary mixture of {diethyl carbonate + p-xylene + decane}. Surface tension has been measured at 298.15 K and, density and speed of sound have been measured in the temperature range T = (288.15 to 308.15) K. Excess molar volumes, excess isentropic compressibilities, and surface tension deviations, have been calculated from experimental data. Surface tension deviations have been correlated with Cibulka equation and Nagata and Tamura equation was used for the other excess properties. Good accuracy has been obtained. These excess magnitudes are discussed qualitatively in terms of the nature and type of intermolecular interactions of the components involved.     

Excess parameters of binary mixtures of anisaldehyde with o-cresol,m-cresol and p-cresol at T = (303.15, 308.15, 313.15, and 318.15) K

The density, ultrasonic velocity, and viscosity of binary mixtures of (anisaldehyde + o-cresol, or +m-cresol, or +p-cresol) have been measured over the entire range of composition at T = (303.15, 308.15, 313.15, and 318.15) K. Using these data, various thermo-acoustic parameters such as deviation in adiabatic compressibility, Δβ, excess molar volume, V^E, viscosity deviation, Δη and excess Gibb’s free energy of activation for viscous flow, ΔG^1E have been calculated. The calculated deviation and excess functions have been fitted to the Redlich–Kister polynomial equation. The negative and positive values of deviation or excess thermo-acoustic parameters observed have been explained on the basis of the intermolecular interactions present in these mixtures.

Experimental densities, speeds of sound, and refractive indices of the binary mixtures presenting azeotropes of (ethanol with hexane or heptane or 2-butanone) and (2-propanol with 2-butanone or ethylacetate or cyclohexane) were determined from T = (293.15 to 303.15) K. Excess molar volumes, changes of refractive index on mixing and deviations in isentropic compressibility for the above systems were calculated. A function of the mole fraction and temperature polynomial equation was used to fit these quantities. The standard deviations between experimental and calculated values are shown.
