Three
binary mixtures consisting of isoamyl acetate and 1-butanol
or isobutanol or isopentanol were experimentally investigated in terms
of their density, viscosity refractive index, and ultrasonic speed
of sound, in the temperature range from 288.15 to 323.15 K and at
atmospheric pressure. The choice of mixtures was based on their potential
for practical application. From experimental data, excess molar volume,
viscosity deviation, excess molar Gibbs free energy of activation
of viscous flow, deviation in refractive index, and deviation in isentropic
compressibility are calculated, correlated with the Redlich–Kister
equation and used for better understanding of molecular interactions
between the mixture components. Also, partial molar volumes, excess
partial molar volumes, and partial molar volumes at infinite dilutions
were calculated to elucidate the nonideal behavior of the investigated
mixtures. Since the mixtures were investigated both from the theoretical
point of view and with the aspect for practical application, the modeling
of two key properties, viscosity and excess molar volume, was performed
with different models and approaches, and the results are compared
with experimental values.
