Density, speed of sound and refractive index of mixtures containing 2-phenoxyethanol with propanol or butanol at various temperatures

Abstract

In this work, we reported the new experimental data of densities, speeds of sound, and refractive indices for four binary mixtures: {2-phenoxyethanol (2PhEE) + 1-propanol or 2-propanol or 1-butanol or 2-butanol) over the entire composition range and at temperatures of (293.15, 303.15, 313.15 and 323.15) K and at pressure p = 0.1 MPa. From these experimental data, thermodynamics properties: excess molar volume, isentropic compressibility, deviation in isentropic compressibility and deviation in refractive indices were calculated. Excess molar volume, deviation in isentropic compressibility and deviation in refractive indices data have been correlated using the Redlich–Kister equation. From the obtained results, a discussion was carried out in terms of nature of intermolecular interactions and structure factors in these binary mixtures.
