Abstract

The speeds of sound and densities were measured for the binary liquid mixture of ethylene glycol with n-butylamine (NBA), sec-butylamihe (SBA), tertbutylamine(TBA), n-hexylamine (NHA), n-octylamine (NOA) and cyclohexylamine (CHA) over the whole mole fraction range at 308.15 K. From the experimental data various acoustical parameters, such as isentropic compressibility (k_s), intermolecular free-length (L_f), relative association (R_A), acoustic impendence (z), excess isentropic compressibility (K_s^E), excess inter molecular free-length (L_f^E), excess ultrasonic velocity (U^E) and excess acoustic impedance (Z^E) have been calculated. The behavior, of the present binary liquid mixtures is discussed in terms of possible molecular interactions between unlike molecules. The molecular interactions are discussed from the increasing number of methylene groups in amines, branching and cyclic nature of the amines which indicates the presence of AB type of interactions exist in these binary liquid mixtures.
