Abstract
Densities, viscosities, and speed of sound have been determined at T = (303.15, 308.15, and 313.15) K for the binary mixtures of methyl benzoate with tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, anisole, and butyl vinyl ether over the entire range of composition. Using these measured values, excess volume VE, deviation in viscosities Δη, excess Gibb’s free energy of activation for viscous flow ΔG*E, and deviation in isentropic compressibility Δks have been calculated. These calculated binary data have been fitted to Redlich-Kister equation to determine the appropriate coefficients. The values of excess volume VE and deviation in viscosities Δη are negative over the entire range of composition for all the binary systems at the studied temperatures. The behavior of these parameters with composition of the mixture has been discussed in terms of molecular interactions between the components of liquids.
Highlights
The excess or deviation properties of liquid-liquid mixtures are useful in several industrial applications owing to their influence upon the effectiveness of the operations
The determination of ultrasonic velocity and the related acoustical parameters derived from it has attracted the attention of several researchers
The main objective of the present study is to determine the density ρ, viscosity η, and speed of sound u for the binary mixtures formed by the methyl benzoate with ether compounds
Summary
The excess or deviation properties of liquid-liquid mixtures are useful in several industrial applications owing to their influence upon the effectiveness of the operations. Tetrahydrofuran is a polar (μ = 1.75D), aprotic solvent. It’s main use is a precursor to polymers. It is used as an industrial solvent for PVC and in varnishes. Dye carrier formulations based on methyl benzoate are useful in textile processing. Further methyl benzoate finds its primary uses as a perfume or flavouring agent and used as a source of benzoyl radical. While ethers are excellent solvents, because they are relatively unreactive, yet they solvate a wide variety of compounds. Tetrahydrofuran, a cyclic ether which is one of the most polar simple ethers, is used as a solvent for polymers and commercially used for the production of several compounds. An aryl ether, is a major constituent of essential oil of anise seed
