Abstract

The structural features of water-ethanol, water-urea and water-ethanol-urea systems were studied on the basis of experimental estimates of kinematic viscosity at different temperatures and concentra-tions. For this purpose, the concentration dependences of the Gibbs energy of activation of the viscous flow, the enthalpy of activation of the viscous flow and the entropy of activation of the viscous flow of the studied systems were analyzed. The results show that ethanol has a structuring and then de-structive effect on water up to a concentration of 0.15 molar, and urea has a destructive effect on the structure of water, starting from such small concentrations. The addition of urea to the ethanol-water system does not affect the inversion point.
