Excess molar volumes, (V E m ), have been derived from the literature viscosity data for the binary mixtures of benzene with n-hexane, n-octane, n-decane, n-dodecane, ntetradecane, and n-hexadecane as a function of composition at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure conditions. The V E m values were found to be positive over the entire composition range for all mixtures. Concentration dependence of V E m were fitted with Redlich-Kister polynomial equation to estimate the binary coefficients and standard errors. From density data, the partial molar volumes (V m ), partial molar volumes at infinite dilution (V 0 m ), excess partial molar volumes at infinite dilution (V 0; E m ), and apparent molar volumes (V / ), were calculated over the whole composition range as were the limiting apparent molar volumes at infinite dilution (V 0 / ) and excess apparent molar volumes at infinite dilution (V 0; E / ). Viscosity of the binary mixtures of benzene with n-alkanes were estimated using Kendall-Monroe, Frenkel, Hind et al., Katti-Chaudhri, Grunberg-Nissan, Wilke and Herráez et al. equations. The agreement between experimental and predicted values for all systems was found to be quite reasonable as evidenced from computed standard deviation and average percentage deviation (APD). Wilke relation gives maximum deviations for all the systems in comparison to other methods employed. Other relations give comparatively good results.
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.
