Densities, Viscosities, Refractive Indices, and Speeds of Sound of the Binary Mixtures of Bis(2-methoxyethyl) Ether with Nonane,Decane, Dodecane, Tetradecane, and Hexadecane at 298.15, 308.15, and 318.15 K

Abstract

Densities, viscosities, refractive indices, and speeds of sound for the boundary mixtures of bis(2-methoxyethyl) ether with nonane, decane, dodecane, tetradecane, and hexadecane have been measured at 298.15, 308.15, and 318.15 K over the entire range of mole fractions. From these results, the excess molar volumes and deviations in viscosity, refractivity, speed of sound, and isentropic compressibility have been calculated. These results are fitted to the Redlich-Kister polynomial relation to estimate the binary interaction parameters. The excess molar volumes and deviations in isentropic compressibility are positive, while the deviations in viscosity, speed of sound, and molar refractivity are negative. The results show a trend with the chain length of the alkanes.
