The viscosity, density, and refractive index of binary mixtures of ethyl formate or ethyl benzoate with
o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene, and ethylbenzene were determined at 303.15 K and 313.15 K and atmospheric
pressure for the whole composition range. From the experimental measurements, the deviations in
viscosity, Δη, were correlated accurately with the Redlich−Kister polynomial equation. The deviations
in molar refraction, ΔR, were calculated from the Lorentz−Lorentz equation. The experimental viscosities
were fitted to an empirical equation proposed by Frenkel. It was observed that the equation predicts the
mixture viscosities reasonably well at both temperatures and the agreement between the experimental
and calculated values is satisfactory.
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.
