Abstract

The density (ρ), viscosity (η), and surface tension (σ) of binary mixtures of carboxylic acids (CAs) (ethanoic acid (EA), propanoic acid (PA), butanoic acid (BA)) benzene (BEN) or acetophenone (ACT) have been measured at 298.15, 308.15, and 318.15 K. From the experimental results, excess values of molar volume (VE), viscosity (ηE), Gibb's free energy for the activation of low (GE), and surface tension (σE) were evaluated and fitted to a Redlich-Kister type of equation. The parameter "d" of Grunberg and Nissan expression has also been calculated. From the sign and magnitude of VE,ηE, GE, σE and "d" values, it is concluded that specific interactions are present in CA ACT system and these interactions are absent in CA BEN mixtures. Various viscosity and surface tension models have been used to test the consistency of the data.
