Excess properties for binary liquid mixtures of Hexylene glycol with ketones at different temperatures and correlation with the Jouyban–Acree model

Abstract

ABSTRACT Excess molar volume, excess isentropic compressibility, deviation in viscosity, and excess Gibbs free energy of activation of viscous flow for binary mixtures of Hexylene glycol (2-methyl-pentanediol-2,4 or MPD) with aliphatic ketones (4-hydroxy-4-methyl-pentan-2-one (J1), 4-methyl-pentan-2-one (J2), and pentan-2-one (J3)) components selected compositions were determined from the measured values of densities (ρ), viscosities (η), and speeds of sound (u) of pure components and their mixtures from 303.15 K to 313.15 K. The results were analysed in terms of intermolecular interactions or hydrogen bonding or hetero-association interactions in the binary mixtures. Finally, the Prigogine-Flory-Patterson (PFP) theory is applied to identify the most predominant molecular interaction. The results of the Jouyban-Acree model are discussed in terms of mean relative deviation (MRDs) and individual relative deviation (IRD) between calculated and experimental densities, speeds of sound, and viscosities as an accuracy criterion.
