Densities and kinematic viscosities of molten mixtures of nickel(II) chloride in tetra-n-butylammonium iodide have been measured as functions of temperature and composition. The data on the kinematic viscosity have been analyzed using both Arrhenius and non-Arrhenius type equations. The heat of activation, the entropy of activation, and the free energy of activation for viscous flow have been computed. At higher concentrations a slight tendency towards non-Arrhenius viscous behaviour is observed. The free energy of activation helps in describing the overall composition dependence of kinematic viscosity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
