The speed of sound for the binary mixtures of trichloroethylene with
branched alcohols has been
determined at 303.15 K. The branched alcohols include 2-propanol,
2-methyl-1-propanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 2-butanol, and 2-methyl-2-propanol. Further, isentropic
compressibilities (K
s) and deviation
in
isentropic compressibilities (ΔK
s) have been
computed from the sound velocity and density data derived
from excess volumes. The results show that
ΔK
s values are positive over the entire range
of composition
for the systems trichloroethylene + 3-methyl-1-butanol, +
2-butanol, and + 2-methyl-2-propanol, and an
inversion of sign from negative to positive is observed for the
remaining systems trichloroethylene +
2-propanol and + 2 methyl-1-propanol.
