Viscometric and volumetric studies on binary mixtures of 1,2-dichloroethane and chlorinated methanes or their binary equimolar mixtures at 303.15 K

Excess viscosities, η^E and molar excess volumes V^E were obtained for binary mixtures of 1,2-dichloroethane and chlorinated methanes and for pseudobinary mixtures of 1,2-dichloroethane and equimolar binary mixtures from chlorinated methanes at 303.15 K. The chlorinated methanes include carbon tetrachloride, chloroform and dichloromethane. Grunberg—Nissan interaction parameter d and interaction energy for flow of activation W_vis were also presented. The relationship between the η^E's and the V^E's has been quantitively considered using Singh's equations. The excess viscosities for all the systems are negative over the entire compositions. There are specific interactions between 1,2-dichloroethane and chlorinated methanes, but the specific interactions are not strong. The interactions of 1,2-dichloroethane with chlorinated methanes decrease in the order: chloroform > dichloromethane > carbon tetrachloride. ‘Pseudochloroform’ has been defined by us for the first time as the equimolar mixture of dichloromethane and carbon tetrachloride.
