Thermodynamic and transport properties of binary liquid mixtures of cyclohexanol with isomeric chlorotoluenes

Densities (ρ) at different temperatures from 303.15 to 318.15 K, speeds of sound (u) and viscosities (η) at 303.15 K were measured for the binary mixtures of cyclohexanol with 2-chlorotoluene, 3-chlorotoluene and 4-chlorotoluene over the entire range of composition. The excess volumes (VE) for the mixtures have been computed from the experimental density data. Further, the deviation in isentropic compressibilities (Δκs) and deviation in viscosities (Δη) for the binary mixtures have been calculated from the speed of sound and viscosity data, respectively. The VE values and Δκs values were positive and Δη data were negative for all the mixtures over the whole range of composition at the measured temperatures. The calculated excess functions VE, Δκs and Δη were fitted to Redlich–Kister equation. The excess functions have been discussed in terms of molecular interactions between component molecules of the binary mixtures.
