Studies of Mixing Properties of Binary Systems of 2-Butoxy Ethanol with Amines at 298.15, 303.15, and 308.15 K

Abstract

The nature of interaction of binary liquid mixtures of 2-butoxy ethanol with amines, namely, diisopropylamine, dibutylamine, and tributylamine, has been examined using the experimentally measured values of density (ρ), ultrasonic speed (u), and viscosity (η) over the temperature range from 298.15 to 308.15 K, in the present discussion. Using the experimentally measured values, various excess and deviation properties have been evaluated and discussed in terms of interaction among the studied binary mixtures. Strong intermolecular interaction among unlike components of binary mixtures is confirmed by these calculated properties. The order of the magnitude of these properties gives an insight into the order of interaction of mixtures of 2-butoxy ethanol with amines. Excess and deviation properties have been correlated with composition using the Redlich–Kister polynomial. The correlation ability of various viscosity models has also been compared. The Fourier transform infrared spectra of these liquid mixtures have also been studied at room temperature.
