Volumetric and viscometric study of aqueous binary mixtures of some glycol ethers at T = (275.15 and 283.15) K
The experimental data for the density (p) and viscosity (Ware reported for aqueous binary mixtures of different glycol ethers, namely ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGMME), ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGMEE), diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DEGMME), and diethylene glycol monoethyl ether (DEGMEE), at different temperatures (T = 275.15 K and 283.15 K) within the concentration range 0 mol . kg(-1) to 0.1 mol . kg(-1). The values of density (rho) and viscosity (eta) of the solutions were used to compute different derived parameters, such as apparent molar volume (phi(v)) of the solute, excess molar volume (V(E)) of the solution, viscosity B and D coefficients of solution and temperature coefficient of viscosity B-coefficient (dB/dT) of solution. The limiting apparent molar volume of the solutes (phi(0)(v)) have been obtained for aqueous binary mixtures of these glycol ethers by smooth extrapolation of phi(v)-m curves to zero concentration. By using the values of phi(0)(v), the limiting excess partial molar volumes ((v) over bar (0E)(2)) have also been calculated. The results are interpreted in term of various interactions such as solute-solvent interactions and hydrogen bonding. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
