The
nature of interaction of binary liquid mixtures of 2-butoxy
ethanol with amines, namely, diisopropylamine, dibutylamine, and tributylamine,
has been examined using the experimentally measured values of density
(ρ), ultrasonic speed (u), and viscosity (η)
over the temperature range from 298.15 to 308.15 K, in the present
discussion. Using the experimentally measured values, various excess
and deviation properties have been evaluated and discussed in terms
of interaction among the studied binary mixtures. Strong intermolecular
interaction among unlike components of binary mixtures is confirmed
by these calculated properties. The order of the magnitude of these
properties gives an insight into the order of interaction of mixtures
of 2-butoxy ethanol with amines. Excess and deviation properties have
been correlated with composition using the Redlich–Kister polynomial.
The correlation ability of various viscosity models has also been
compared. The Fourier transform infrared spectra of these liquid mixtures
have also been studied at room temperature.
