The densities of ternary systems ([Emim][Cl]+ LiCl + H 2 O), ([Emim][Cl] + LiBr + H 2 O), and ([Emim][Cl]+ LiNO 3 + H 2 O) and also binary system ([Emim][Cl] + H 2 O) were measured at T = (298.15 to 318.15) K using a vibrating U-tube densimeter. On the basis of experimental density data, the apparent molar volumes, V φ , were computed. The values of apparent molar volumes for binary system were correlated to Redlich−Meyer and Pitzer equations and for ternary systems were correlated to Redlich−Meyer equation and apparent molar volumes at infinite dilution, V φ 0 , are also calculated. Our results showed a negative transfer volume of [EmimCl] from water to the aqueous LiCl, LiBr, and LiNO 3 solutions, which decrease by enhancing the salt mass fraction. The solute−solvent interactions and structure making or breaking ability of [Emim][Cl] have been discussed in details. The results of second derivative of limiting apparent molar volumes showed that the studied ionic liquid in this work acts as a structure maker.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
