Density, refractive index, viscosity, and speed of sound in binary mixtures of cyclohexanone with hexane, heptane, octane, nonane, decane, dodecane, and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane

Experimental results of density, refractive index, and viscosity at 298.15, 303.15, and 308.15 K and the speed of sound at 298.15 K are presented for the binary mixtures of cyclohexanone with n-alkanes (C-6-C-12) or 2,2,4-tri methylpentane over the entire range of mixture composition scale. From thes e data, excess molar volume VE, deviations in molar refraction Delta R, vis cosity Delta eta, speed of sound Delta u, and isentropic compressibility De lta k(s) have been calculated. These results are further fit to the Redlich and Kister (1948) polynomial equation to derive the binary coefficients an d standard deviations between the calculated and the fit parameters. Furthe rmore, these results are used to study the nature of intermolecular interac tions between the mixing components. All the properties have shown a system atic dependence on the chain length of alkanes.
