Volumetric and acoustic properties were obtained using density, ρ 123 , and speed of sound, u 123 , experimental values for ternary systems of {[EMIM][BF 4 ] (x 1 ) + acetic acid (x 2 ) + acetophenone (x 3 )} (mix 1 ) and {[EMIM][BF 4 ] (x 1 ) + propionic acid (x 2 ) + acetophenone (x 3 )} (mix 2 ) at T = (293.15−333.15) K and 0.1 MPa. The observed V m123 Eand Δk s123 data of the studied ternary mixtures were modeled with a total of 63 evaluated models, which resulted from a sum of each of nine predictive terms (no estimated parameters) with each of seven correlative terms (estimated parameters). The entire model is a correlative model, and if all of the parameters of the correlative term are set to zero, it becomes a predictive model. The ideal number of parameters in the correlation was then approximated using standard deviations (σ). For mix 1 , V m123 E was only negative and Δk s123 was only positive, while for mix 2 both negative and positive results were found for each property. Also, quantitative results point out that mix 1 is closer to ideal behavior than mix 2 . The modeling for mix 2 employed more complex equations, with more parameters, and even so presented worse deviations than for mix 1 . These results evidence the effect of one CH 2 in the acid chain on the thermodynamic properties of these mixtures.
