Abstract

The apparent molar volumes, Vϕ and apparent molar isentropic compressibilities, Ks,ϕ of three benzyldimethylammonium based protic ionic liquids, namely, benzyldimethylammonium acetate (BDMAA), benzyldimethylammonium propionate (BDMAP), and benzyldimethylammonium hexanoate (BDMAH) in water and ethanol have been determined at T=(293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, 313.15 and 318.15)K and at ambient pressure from density, ρ and speed of sound, u measurements. The Redlich–Mayer type of equation has been used to calculate the apparent molar volume, Vϕ∞ and apparent molar isentropic compressibility, Kϕ∞ at infinite dilution, and the corresponding empirical parameters (Sv, Bv, Sk and Bk). The negative magnitude of limiting volumetric slopes, Sv versus m1/2 for (BDMAA+ethanol) binary solutions, suggests that BDMAA–ethanol interactions are strong. Further, the change in thermodynamic properties of binary solutions in relation to the alternation in the anionic structural constitution of protic ionic liquids has also been evaluated.
