Physico-chemical and excess thermodynamic properties of methanol & ethanol with 1, 4-dioxane at 308 K

The molecular interaction studies in the binary liquid mixtures of two aliphatic alcohols with 1, 4-dioxane has been carried out at 308 K using ultrasonic technique. Using measured values of ultrasonic velocity, density and viscosity, acoustical parameters such as adiabatic compressibility, free volume, free length and their excess values like VfE, saE, LfE are evaluated. From the properties of these excess parameters, the nature and the strength of interactions in these binary systems are discussed. It has been observed that, weak dispersive type intermolecular interactions are confirmed in the systems investigated. Dipole inducement is found to be more predominant in methanol system.
