Excess molar volumes and viscosities for binary mixtures of 1-alkoxypropan-2-ols with 1-butanol, and 2-butanol at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure

Excess molar volumes V-m(E) and kinematic viscosities nu have been measured as a function of composition for binary mixtures of propylene glycol monomethyl ether (1-methoxy-2-propanol), MeOCH2CH(OH)Me, propylene glycol monoethyl ether (1-ethoxy-2-propanol), EtOCH2CH(OH)Me, propylene glycol monopropyl ether (1-propoxy-2-propanol), PrOCH2CH(OH)Me, propylene glycol monobutyl ether (1-butoxy-2-propanol), BuOCH2CH(OH)Me, and propylene glycol tert-butyl ether (1-tert-butoxy-2-propanol), t-BuOCH2CH(OH)Me with 1-butanol, and 2-butanol, at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure. The excess molar volumes are negative across the entire range of composition for all the systems with 1-butanol, and positive for the systems 2-butanol+1-methoxy-2-propanol, and +1-propoxy-2-propanol, negative for the systems 2-butanol+1-butoxy-2-propanol, and change sign for the systems 2-butanol+1-ethoxy-2-propanol, and +1-tert-butoxy-2-propanol. From the experimental data, the deviation in dynamic viscosity eta from Sigma x(i)eta(i) has been calculated. Both excess molar volumes and viscosity deviations have been correlated using a Redlich-Kister type polynomial equation by the method of least-squares for the estimation of the binary coefficients and the standard errors.
