Excess thermodynamic properties and FTIR studies of binary of 1, 3-dichlorobenzene with alkyl acetates (C1–C5) at different temperatures

Abstract

Abstract Densities (ρ) and speed of sound (u) have been reported for the binary mixtures containing 1, 3- dichlorobenzene (1, 3-DCB) with methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, butyl acetate and pentyl acetate at four different temperatures (T = 303.15, 308.15, 313.15 and 318.15 K) and at atmospheric pressure. The experimental data of densities and speeds of sound has been further utilized to calculate excess molar volume ( V m E ) and excess isentropic compressibility ( κ S E ) the excess properties have been fitted to Redlich-Kister equation. Further, V m E results have also been discussed by using Prigogine–Flory–Patterson (PFP). The experimental speeds of sound data in the present investigated mixtures were compared with various theoretical models like collision factor theory (CFT) and free length theory (FLT) to check their relative merits of pure component properties. Moreover, the experimental excess functions were correlated in terms of FTIR spectral analysis.
