Abstract

Various thermodynamic properties viz. acoustic impedance, Z, intermolecular free length, Lr molar sound velocity, R, molar compressibility, W, and molecular association M_A, have been computed for five binary liquid mixtures (Dimethylcarbonate (DMC) + methanol, DMC + cyclohexane, methanol + cyclohexane, DMC + benzene, and methanol + benzene) at 298.15 K. Interactions between the components of binary systems are studied in terms of excess acoustic impedance, Z^E, excess intermolecular free length, L_f^E deviation in molar sound velocity, ΔR, deviation in molar compressibility, ΔW, and deviation in ultrasonic velocity, Δu. Sign and magnitude of the excess properties give an estimate of strength of the unlike interactions in a iquid mixture. Small positive values of L_f^E and negative values of Z^E and Δu signify the existence of weak interactions between component molecules of all the binary systems. Moreover, an attempt has also been made to examine the validity of several theories and relations, viz. free length theory, Nomoto relation, Junjie relation, Van Deal & Vangeel ideal mixing relation and collision factor theory for the theoretical predictions of ultrasonic velocity in the systems under consideration.
