Ultrasonic Studies on Molecular Interactions in Binary Mixtures of N-Methyl Aniline with Methyl Isobutylketone, +3-Pentanone, and +Cycloalkanones at 303.15 K.

Densities, ρ, viscosities, η, and ultrasonic sound velocities u of pure methyl isobutylketone, diethylketone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, 2-methyl cyclohexanone and those of their binary mixtures with N-methyl aniline were measured at 303.15 K over the entire composition range. These experimental data have been used to calculate the excess volume (VE), deviation in ultrasonic sound velocity (∆u), isentropic compressibility (κs ), intermolecular free length (Lf), excess intermolecular free length ([Formula: see text]), acoustic impedance (Z), excess isentropic compressibility ([Formula: see text]), deviation in viscosity (∆η) and excess Gibbs energy of activation of viscous flow (G*E). The viscosity data have been correlated using three equations proposed by Grunberg and Nissan, Katti and Chaudhri, and Hind et al. The excess/deviations have been fitted by Redlich-Kister equation and the results are discussed in terms of molecular interactions present in these mixtures.
