The speeds of sound u have been measured at 298.15 K in binary mixtures of ethylene glycol dimethyl ether with methanol, ethanol, 1-butanol, and 1-pentanol over the entire composition range using a NUSONIC velocimeter based on the sing-around technique. Their values have been combined with those of densities derived from excess molar volumes to obtain estimates of the product K S,m of the molar volumes and isentropic compressibility κ S , and their excess values K E S,m . The K E S,m values are shown to be negative for all mixtures over the entire composition range. The values increased with increase in chain length of the n-alcohol. The deviations u D of the speeds of sound from the values calculated for ideal mixtures have been obtained from all measured values of mole fraction x. The behaviour of K E S,m and u D with composition and the number of carbon atoms in the alcohol molecule is discussed. Also, the theoretical values of molar isentropic compressibility K S,m and of speed of sound u have been calculated using the Prigogine-Flory-Patterson (PFP) theory with the van der Waals (vdW) potential energy model and the results have been compared with experimental values.
