Thermodynamic data involving ultrasonic velocities of binary liquid mixtures of methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate and butyl acrylate with decane-2-ol have been measured at 313.15 K and at atmospheric pressure. Study of thermodynamic properties involves challenges of interpreting the excess quantities as a means of understanding the nature of intermolecular interactions among the mixed components. Experimental values of ultrasonic velocities were correlated with recently proposed Jouyban-Acree model. Deviations in isentropic compressibility were calculated and have been fitted to Redlich-Kister polynomial equation. Excess parameters like specific acoustic impendence, intermolecular free length, available volume, intrinsic pressure, molecular association and molar sound velocity were also calculated. Graphical representations of excess derived thermodynamic parameters used to explain the type and extent of intermolecular interactions
