Viscosity and Thermodynamics of Viscous Flow of 1-propanol with Aniline,N-methylaniline and N,N-dimethylaniline

Abstract

Viscosities of the systems, 1-propanol + aniline, 1-propanol+N-methylaniline and 1-propanol+N,N-dimethylaniline have been measured in the temperature range 294.15 to 323.15K for the whole range of composition. The viscosities have been plotted against mole fraction of anilines. The viscosity-composition curves show minima, though not well-defined, in highly rich, moderately rich and moderately poor regions of 1-propanol respectively for 1-propanol + aniline, 1-propanol + N-methylaniline and 1-propanol +N,N-dimethylaniline systems. The excess viscosities have been found to be negative for all the systems throughout the whole composition and plotted against mole fraction of anilines. The thermodynamic activation parameters, such as, enthalpies, entropies and free energies and their excess values have been evaluated. The excess free energies have been found to be negative for all the systems and over the whole range of composition. The excess free energies have been plotted against the mole fraction of anilines. The viscosities, excess viscosities and excess free energies have been explained by assuming that the associated compounds, aniline, N-methylaniline and 1-propanol, are dissociated into smaller units in the solution systems by the rupture of H-bonds.
