The results of measurements of the viscosities and molar volumes of the organic acids (C9--C1~) as functions of the temperature are reported. They are discussed in connection with the equations of Arrhenius and Batchinski.Results concerning viscosity measurements on the linear aliphatic acids C9, Ca0, Clz, C1~, Ca6 and C_as were discussed in a previous paper [1 ]. The present one deals with the covolumes (obtained from viscosity measurements by the Batchinski formula) of all the acids, odd and even, from C9 to Cls, and of C~.
ExperimentalThe experimental methods are described in detail in the previous paper [1].
MaterialsFluka purum hendecanoic and tridecanoic acids and puriss, pentadecanoic and margaric acids were purified as previously [1] described; C. Erba RP acetic acid was purified by distillation following the Rabin0witsch method [2].
Results and discussionThe experimental values are collected and shown in Table 1 and Fig. 1(a-b). From the graphs log ~/ versus lIT and ~ versus Vm it is possible to obtain Eact and b V from the Arrhenius and Batchinski equations. These are listed in Tables 2 and 3. As previously described [1 ], for the even series the covolumes of these acids can be calculated on the basis of the model reported in Fig. 4 of the preceding note [1 ]. Further, for the acids Cll, C1~, C15 and C17 , the covolume bv closely corresponds to the value that can be calculated from the model under the hypothesis that the dimer rotates around the a axis, describing a cylinder; that is by = 1/2(12/2+rc)21lN.
