Abstract
The density and refractive index of ionic liquids (ILs) + water binary mixtures were determined as a function of temperature (from 293.15 to 343.15 K) at atmospheric pressure over the whole composition range in which the mixtures were miscible. To carry out a systematic study, all of the ILs selected are imidazolium-based ILs with a different number of carbons in the alkyl chain of the cation and also different anions (tetrafluoroborate, triflate, and octylsulfate). Specifically, the studied ILs were 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [emim][BF4], 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [bmim][BF4], 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [hmim][BF4], 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [omim][BF4], 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium triflate [emim][TfO], 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium triflate [bmim][TfO], and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium octylsulfate [bmim][OcSO4]. The excess molar volumes and the deviation in the molar refraction of the binary mixtures were calculated for a better...
