Abstract

The thermophysical properties of binary mixtures of formamide with 2-methoxyethanol and 2-ethoxyethanol have been investigated in this article. Densities, refractive index, ultrasonic velocity and viscosity for the two binary mixtures viz. formamide with 2-methoxyethanol and 2-ethoxyethanol have been measured over the entire composition range at 293, 303 and 313 K and at atmospheric pressure. The excess molar volume, the molar refraction deviation, excess Gibb's free energy of activation for viscous flow, excess isentropic compressibility, deviation in viscosity, excess free volume and excess molar enthalpy have been computed using experimental data. These excess parameters have been correlated with Redlich–Kister polynomial equation. The results have been interpreted on the basis of strength of intermolecular interaction occurring in these mixtures. Densities, refractive index and ultrasonic velocity were correlated with second-order polynomial equation. The molar volume and excess partial molar volume at infinite dilution have also been calculated for both the mixtures.
