Experimental results of density, refractive index, and viscosity at 298.15, 303.15, and 308.15 K and the
speed of sound at 298.15 K are presented for the binary mixtures of cyclohexanone with n-alkanes (C6−C12) or 2,2,4-trimethylpentane over the entire range of mixture composition scale. From these data, excess
molar volume V
E, deviations in molar refraction ΔR, viscosity Δη, speed of sound Δu, and isentropic
compressibility Δk
S have been calculated. These results are further fit to the Redlich and Kister (1948)
polynomial equation to derive the binary coefficients and standard deviations between the calculated
and the fit parameters. Furthermore, these results are used to study the nature of intermolecular
interactions between the mixing components. All the properties have shown a systematic dependence on
the chain length of alkanes.
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.
