ABSTRACT

The present thesis deals with the molecular interaction studies

amounting to complex formation in binary solutions of N,N-

dimethylacetamide (DMA) with 1-propanol, methanol and water and

poly(propylene glycol)monobutyl ether (Mn-340) (PPGMBE 340)

with toluene, benzene and benzyl alcohol using volumetric,

viscometric, refractometric and ultrasonic velocity techniques through

their excess and other parameters to evaluate the effect of various

factors namely polarity, molecular size and heteromolecular hydrogen

bonding etc. and influence of temperature on molecular interactions.

The thesis has been divided into seven chapters:

Chapter 1 comprises of the review of the latest literature on

the ultrasonic, viscometric, volumetric, and refractometric studies

with their excess parameters along with the objective and scope of the

present work.

Chapter 2 describes the details of the experimental techniques

used for the measurement of ultrasonic velocity, viscosity, density

and refractive index. Evaluation of thermophysical parameters,

calculation of excess / deviation parameters, standard deviation in

excess parameters from Curve Expert 1.3 linear regression

polynomial equation, theoretical estimation of ultrasonic velocity,

viscosity, refractive index and density models are discussed in brief.

Chapter 3 reports the experimental data of the density ( ρ ),

viscosity (η) and refractive index (n) for binary solutions of N,N-

dimethylacetamide (DMA) with1-propanol, methanol and water at

varying concentrations and temperatures. Using these data, excess

Page 14: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

x

molar volume (VmE), deviation in viscosity (∆η), deviation in molar

refraction (ΔRm) and excess Gibbs’s free energy of activation for

viscous flow (ΔG*E) have been evaluated along with their standard

deviation. The results have been interpreted in terms of strength of

intermolecular interaction resulting complex formation in these

mixtures.

Chapter 4 presents the data of density (ρm) and ultrasonic

velocity (um) for the binary mixtures of DMA with 1-propanol,

methanol and water over the entire range of composition at 293.15,

303.15 and 313.15 K. The intermolecular interactions present in the

mixtures have been investigated through deviation in ultrasonic

velocity (Δu), excess acoustic impedance (ZE) and excess

intermolecular free length (LfE). Derived parameters such as

isentropic compressibility (Ks), effective Debye temperature (ϴD) and

specific heat ratio (γ) at varying concentrations of DMA have also

been calculated using experimental data for all the three systems.

Various semi-empirical mixing rules proposed by Nomoto, Vandeal,

Junjie, CFT and Flory’s statistical theory (FST) for the estimation of

ultrasonic velocity of liquid mixtures have also been applied to these

binary mixtures. HBT and Rackett density models have been used to

compare the experimental and theoretically calculated values.

In Chapter 5, a polymer namely Poly (propylene glycol)

monobutyl ether 340 (PPGMBE 340) has been selected for the study

of molecular interaction in its binary solution with toluene, benzene

and benzyl alcohol from density, viscosity and refractive index data.

The excess molar volume (VmE), deviation in viscosity (∆η) and

deviation in molar refraction (ΔRm) and many other derived

parameters such as optical dielectric constant (ε), polarizability (α)

Page 15: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

xi

and interaction parameter (d) at varying concentrations of

PPGMBE340 have also been calculated. Results have been analyzed

in the light of molecular interactions between like and unlike

molecules with respect of their polarities.

Chapter 6 is the further extension of the work on same binary

systems used in Chapter 5 employing other techniques namely

volumetric and ultrasonic. Deviation in ultrasonic velocity (Δu),

deviation in isentropic compressibility (ΔKsE), excess acoustic

impedance (ZE), excess intermolecular free length (LfE) and excess

molar enthalpy (HmE) of binary systems PPGMBE340 with toluene,

benzene and benzyl alcohol over whole composition range and

varying temperatures have been calculated and examined in terms of

various physical, chemical and structural interactions.

Chapter 7 is based on theoretical computation and deals with

the calculations of many thermophysical parameters like surface

tension (σ), non-linearity parameter (B/A), relaxation time (τ) and

molecular association (MA), van der Waal’s constant (b), relaxation

strength (r), molecular radius (rm), geometrical volume (B), molar

surface area (Y) and collision factor (S) for the binary mixtures of

PPGMBE 340 with toluene, benzene and benzyl alcohol at three

different temperatures. Surface tension and other thermophysical

parameters have been interpreted on the basis of molecular interaction

in the three systems. These findings gave a strong theoretical

coverage to the experimental results of Chapters 5 and 6.

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Research is not a scope but it is an intellectual exercise. The

properties of condensed matter are determined by the strength of

interactions between its constituent atoms, ions or molecules. The

properties of matter in the liquid phase are qualitatively described by

two characteristics;

(i) Lack of shear rigidity, common in gases and

(ii) Very low compressibility, common in solids.

At temperature and pressure above the critical point, the liquid

phase does not exist at all. At lower temperature near freezing point,

the structural concepts of the solid phase are applicable; while at

higher temperature, near the boiling point, the statistical concepts of

the kinetic theory of gases are more useful. Both of these approaches

are only approximations to more accurate description of the liquid

phase [1, 2].

There are various theories or models proposed to describe the

liquid state whose applicability and validity varies with the nature of

liquids. Regular solution theory gives good results in non-polar

liquids [3, 4] and is based on the assumption of no excess entropy

and no volume change on mixing.

The lattice theory, initially proposed by Eyring and

coworkers [5] requires molecule to be more or less bound to one

position in space. Further, the concept of “hole” or vacant sites in

the lattice is required to account for the fluidity of liquids [6, 7].

With this hole concept, Eyring and coworkers [5] concluded that a

liquid possesses dual characteristics of gas and solid; solid-voids

Page 18: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

2

experience gas like freedom while remaining part of the liquid

exhibits solid like rigidity. Free “volume” or “cell” model [5, 7-9]

of the liquid state implies some amount of organization of structure

in it and assumes a molecule to be confined to small region of the

liquid constrained by the repulsive fields of its neighbors. The basic

assumption of free volume theory that there is probability of

occurrence of empty neighboring sites, where molecules can jump

[10], has been found very valuable to study viscosity of liquid and

liquid mixtures. The description of the free energy required for the

transition of a molecule to a new equilibrium position is given by the

absolute rate theory [11].

The physical properties of any medium can be described either

macroscopically or microscopically. On a macroscopic scale, matter

is treated as a “continuum” which possesses certain properties,

clearly defined by well-known measuring operations without any

knowledge of the internal structure. The microscopic point of view,

on the other hand, deals with detailed knowledge of the internal

structure and composition of the matter.

The physiochemical behavior and intermolecular interactions

in mixtures have been a subject of active interest. Fascinating

progress in the study of molecular interactions in liquid mixtures has

taken place and a number of theories [12-17] have been proposed, in

this regard.

The advantage of this progress, into the variation of

macroscopic physical properties of the mixtures is twofold. Firstly,

this offers an indirect but convenient way to ascertain the nature or /

and possibilities of microscopic interactions between like as well as

unlike molecular species. Secondly, this provides experimental

Page 19: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

3

background to develop, test and modify the theories for precise

prediction of the properties of mixtures; in varying ambience and

composition, often needed in condensed matter physics [18-20],

chemistry [21, 22], chemical engineering [23-25] and industry

[26,27].

Liquids and especially liquid mixtures are widely used in

processing and product formulation in many industrial applications.

Properties of mixtures are useful for designing vehicles in the

transportation of process equipments in chemical industry [28, 29].

Thermodynamic properties of a mixture depend on

intermolecular forces operating between the constituent molecules in

the mixture. To interpret and correlate thermodynamic properties of

solutions, the knowledge / nature of intermolecular forces is required

for protic, aprotic, hydrogen and non-hydrogen bonded, electron

donating and electron accepting liquids.

Two types of binary systems were selected for the present

study:

(i) Binary systems of N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) + 1-

propanol, + methanol and + water

(ii) Binary systems of Poly(propyleneglycol)monobutylether (Mn-

340)(PPGMBE340) + benzene, + toluene and + benzyl

alcohol

Thermodynamic and transport properties like ultrasonic

velocity, viscosity, refractive index and density were used as a tool

for the study of interaction in binary solutions. The various excess

and thermophysical parameters were evaluated such as excess molar

volume, inter molecular free length, excess Gibb’s free energy of

activation, specific heat ratio, effective Debye temperature etc.

Page 20: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

Though a large number of sophisticated techniques like NMR,

FTIR, X-ray, vapour pressure, dielectric constant etc. are available

to study the molecular interactions and its relationship with

ambience parameters. Even then the ultrasonic, volumetric,

viscometric and refractometric techniques are being used because of

their less demanding experimental requirements.

1.2 ULTRASONICS

In the last two three decades, to study the physicochemical

behavior and molecular interactions in liquid mixtures, the

ultrasonic velocity technique has been extensively used [30-36].

The mechanical longitudinal waves which are generated

through the crystal are propagated through the matter - solid, liquid

or gas. These waves may be divided roughly into the following

classes according to their frequency:

(i) Infrasonic waves (below 20 Hz.)

(ii) Audible or sonic waves (between 20Hz to 20 kHz.)

(iii) Ultrasonic waves (between 20 kHz. to 1GHz)

(iv) Hypersonic waves (above 1GHz)

The term ‘ultrasonic’ is used to describe a vibrating wave of a

frequency above that the upper frequency limit of the human ear; it

generally embraces all frequencies above 20 kHz [37]. Also, high

amplitude ultrasonic waves are sometimes referred to as “sonic”

[17].

There are a number of ways in which ultrasonic waves can be

generated. The method chosen depends upon the power output

necessary and the frequency range to be covered. It was Galton, who

in 1883 modified the edge-tone generator so as to generate the sound

Page 21: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

5

waves of frequency above than the audible range of human ear. In

Galton’s apparatus, a jet of air debounces from a narrow slit to fall

upon the sharp edge of an object which faces the slit. The jet is set in

pendulation, the frequency of which can be increased by raising the

velocity of efflux and reducing the separation of slit from edge.

Some ultrasonic generators which use a spark plug or an arc of

direct current to produce vibrations are based on thermal principles

and are not commonly used in the present days.

The simplest method of generating high frequency ultrasonics is

piezoelectric crystal transducers. The piezoelectric is a phenomenon

resulting from a coupling between the electric and mechanical properties

of a material. It is a phenomenon, exhibited by certain crystals which

distort in shape when electric stresses are applied to them in certain

directions. The commonly used crystals for ultrasonic wave generation

are quartz, rouchelle salt, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, lithium

sulphate, dipotassium tertrate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate.

Magnetostrictive transducers are also commonly employed for the

generation of ultrasonic waves. This designates the effect by which

magnetic materials suffer a change in length owing to a molecular

rearrangement, when the magnetic field in which they are placed,

changes the strength. When a ferromagnetic rod is subjected to an

alternating magnetic field parallel to its length it can be set in

oscillations at one of its natural frequencies, hence ultrasonic waves are

produced.

The modern technique for producing ultrasonic wave is Laser

Beam Ultrasonic (LBU). Laser-ultrasonic uses lasers to generate

and detect ultrasonic waves. It is a non-contact technique used to

characterize a material, to measure its thickness and to detect flaws.

Page 22: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

6

LBU is operated by first generating ultrasound in a sample using a

pulsed laser. When the laser pulse strikes the sample, ultrasonic

waves are generated through a thermo elastic process or by ablation.

Its accuracy and flexibility have made it an attractive new option in

the non-destructive testing market. Well established applications of

laser ultrasonics are composite inspections for the aerospace

industry and on-line hot tube thickness measurements for the

metallurgical industry.

The important physical effects of ultrasonic are cavitation,

local heating and the production of fog. Cavitation is a generic term

applied to a number of ultrasonic effects characterized by the

formation and collapse of bubbles in a liquid. The results of

cavitation may be spectacular and many ultrasonic effects are

ascribed to the accompanying cavitation [38, 39]. It has been found

that at 4MHz. sound energy transforms into heat with a constant

ratio [40]. Heating effects become greater with increase of frequency

because of increased absorption. Fog production is resulted by the

jet of liquid thrown up when intense waves hit an interface between

a liquid and air. Ultrasonic waves can bring about a degassing

action, i.e. the expulsion of gases from liquids or solids. There are so

many biological effects, chemical effects, electro chemical effects

which have been exploited in numerous applications of ultrasonics.

Medical applications of ultrasound usually do not involve

measurement of sound velocity but instead depend on the relative

invariance of sound velocity in human tissue. Many medical devices

measure the reflected signal and display the spatial variation of its

amplitude, often using the time domain to give depth to the image.

Page 23: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

Over the years, ultrasonic technique [41-44] has been found to

be one of the most powerful tools for studying the structural and

other physico-chemical properties of liquids and liquid mixtures.

Boyle [45] initiated the study of propagation of ultrasonic wave in

liquids. Lagemann and Dunbar [46] were the first to point out the

sound velocity approach for qualitative determination of the degree

of association in liquids. Ultrasonic studies [47-49] at low amplitude

provide valuable information regarding the structure and interactions

taking place in pure liquids and multicomponent liquid mixtures.

Ultrasonic velocity and density data permit the direct estimation of

isentropic compressibility; intermolecular free length and few more

related parameters which cannot be deduced easily by any other

method. Apart from this, ultrasonic velocity has also been found to

be an important property for testing the validity of various liquid

state models. Many workers have examined the validity of various

theories [50-55] by ultrasonic velocity and density measurements.

1.3 VISCOSITY

Viscosity is a transport property that is generally defined as

the resistance to flow under applied shear stress. Fluids are classified

either as Newtonian or non-Newtonian fluids. Newtonian fluids are

fluids that obey Newton’s law of viscosity, whereas non-Newtonian

fluids do not. According to Newton’s law of viscosity, the absolute

viscosity is the proportionality constant in an equation that relates

the shear stress to the shear rate or velocity gradient viz;

τ = η 𝑑𝑣𝑑𝑥

Page 24: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

8

The shear stress, τ, is the force applied to the fluid per unit

area, the velocity gradient dv/dx is the measure of the shearing

experienced by the liquid and is thus called shear strain (γ). η is a

constant for a given material and is called viscosity. Thus, viscosity

may be defined mathematically as,

η = 𝜏𝛾 = 𝑠ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑟 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠

𝑠ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑟 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑛

The viscosity of pure components as well as those of liquid

mixtures has attracted the attention of many researchers over the

years. In spite of all the earlier efforts, complete description of the

viscosity of multi-component liquid mixtures remains insufficient,

attributing to the difficulty of understanding the structure of the

liquids. Thus more accurate and precise viscosity data, especially for

liquid mixtures are required to have a clear knowledge of structure

of the liquid / liquid mixtures.

Accurate viscosity data are needed for the design of most of

fluid flow equipment. The pharmaceutical industry relies on

viscosity measurement to qualify the flow behavior of materials for

a variety of applications.

Viscometric data has various applications in material

characterization or finger-printing, standard testing methods to

check for differences between batches, indirect way of measuring

quality, product formulation, quality control, process control, design,

optimization and operation of process equipment.

Viscometry is one of the most widely utilized methods for the

characterization of polymer molecular weight, since it provides the

easiest and most rapid means of obtaining molecular weight related

Page 25: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

data and requires a minimum amount of instrumentation. A most

obvious characteristic of polymer solutions is their high viscosity,

even when the amount of added polymer is small [56].

Considerable work has been done in our laboratory [57-64] to

establish an extensive database that contains accurate density and

viscosity of liquid and liquid mixtures at different compositions and

temperatures. Extensive experimental data on viscosity together with

the study of ultrasonic velocity and density, has led to the

determination of Gibb’s free energy, free volume, internal pressure

and enthalpy etc. [65, 66].

1.4 VOLUMETRY

Density / specific gravity, an intensive property of the matter,

is defined as the mass per unit volume. The relative density is the

ratio of the weight of a given volume of the substance to the weight

of an equal volume of water at the same temperature and the density

of the substance is equal to the relative density multiplied by the

density of water at that temperature.

Density describes the degree of compactness of a substance or

in other words, how closely packed together the atoms or molecules

in a substance are. An extensive and exhaustive study of density

gives an insight into the nature of strength and possibilities of

microscopic interactions and it provides an experimental

background to develop, test and then modify theories for the liquid

mixtures and their transport properties. Liquid densities are needed

in many engineering problems such as process calculations,

simulations, pipe designing and metering calculations.

Page 26: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

10

Molar volume (Vm) can be easily calculated from the

experimental data of density and mole fraction provides an efficient

and convenient tool to study the interactions at molecular level.

Positive and negative values of excess molar volume (VmE) show the

deviations of molar volume from ideality. This has been interpreted

by several research workers [67,68] as a commulative manifestation

of three effects such as physical, chemical and structural.

1.5 REFRACTOMETRY

Refractometry is the study of the variation of refractive index

and molar refraction of the medium in different environment.

Refractive index of any medium is a quantitative measure of the

response of constituents molecules of the medium to the

electromagnetic waves and is defined as the ratio of the velocity of

electromagnetic wave in vacuum to that in the medium. H. A.

Lorentz, on the basis of electromagnetic theory of light and L. V.

Lorenz, on the basis of wave theory of light, independently deduced

following relationship between the refractive index (n) and density

(ρ) viz:

2 Constant

This constant is called specific refraction.

The molar refraction ( mR ) is a derived quantity and is defined

as,

m2

2

m V2n1nR

+−

=

Page 27: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

11

Where n is the refractive index of the medium and mV is the molar

volume of the medium.

The study of the variations of refractive index of a liquid with

temperature and with mixing of different solutes in varying

concentration gives valuable inferences about the structure of liquids

or liquid mixtures.

There are many semi-empirical rules [69-77] for evaluating

the refractive indices of binary and ternary liquid mixtures.

Extensive survey of literature reveals that enormous amount of the

work has been done to measure or to evaluate the refractive index of

liquids and liquid mixtures [44, 78-80].

1.6 EXCESS PARAMETERS

The values of excess parameters for binary mixtures describe

the deviation of a solution from ideality. The excess values AE for

any parameters, can be computed using the relation,

AE = Amix – ∑ 𝑥 𝑖 𝑛𝑖=1 𝐴𝑖

where Amix represent the parameter of the mixture, Ai represent the

physical parameter of the pure component i.

The excess parameters have been interpreted by many

workers [81-83] as a cumulative manifestation of three effects-

(1) Physical; this is due to non-specific physical interactions.

(2) Chemical; this occurs due to breaking up of the liquid order of

associated species.

Page 28: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

12

(3) Structural; this takes place due to geometrical fitting of

molecules into the voids created by bigger molecules and also

due to differences in molar and free volumes of the components.

The literature survey reveals that the study of intermolecular

forces in solutions is mostly done in terms of excess thermodynamic

functions. These functions are found to be sensitive towards the

intermolecular forces as well as the size and shape of the molecules

[84-94].

Variation of the excess molar volume, deviation in viscosity

and the excess molar refraction with temperature and mole fraction

have been employed by number of workers [85-87] for studying the

molecular interactions in liquid mixtures. Many more derived

parameters such as Gibb’s activation energy of viscous flow,

internal pressure, free volume etc. can also be computed with the

help of experimental data of sound velocity, density and viscosity.

Excess values of these derived parameters reflect the variation in

nature of molecular units and also provide significant inferences

about the nature of the interactions [85, 91-103].

1.7 OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF THE STUDY

In our laboratory a huge amount of work has been done on

molecular interactions / complex formation in binary solutions

during the last two decades. In continuation of that, in the present

study, two liquids N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA), highly exploited,

and poly(propylene glycol)monobutyl ether 340 (PPGMBE 340),

almost untouched, were selected for molecular interaction or

complex formation studies in their binary solutions with other

Page 29: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

13

liquids, in the light of polarity (dipole moment), molecular size /

chain length, hydrogen bonding and along with the thermal effect.

The density, viscosity, refractive index and ultrasonic velocity

techniques will be employed as tools for this study. Excess

properties namely EmV , u∆ , η∆ , mR∆ , sk∆ , EZ , E

fL , Eiπ , E*G∆ ,

EfV , E

mH and derived parameters will also be calculated to have a

deep insight to the findings. Due to lack of work on PPGMBE340,

in order to provide strength to our findings on molecular interaction

in this polymer, thermophysical parameters will also be calculated

theoretically and taken into consideration.

It is pertinent to mention here that DMA is selected due to the

fact that it is very important organic specie, acting as a good reaction

medium as well as catalyst for many reactions. It is very versatile

polar aprotic liquid with high dielectric constant (ε=37.78) and

dipole moment (μ=3.7D), but practically unassociated. Three liquids

namely 1-propanol, methanol and water used for the preparation of

binary solutions with DMA are polar aprotic liquids having

significant dielectric constant and dipole moment in the order 1-

propanol < methanol < water as given below:

On the other hand, poly(propylene glycol)monobutyl ether 340

(PPGMBE340) is one of the synthetic polymers among other polyalkylene

glycols. Poly (propylene glycol)monobutyl ether 340 is used extensively as

lubricant for automobile engine in cold climates [104-107]. The fluid shows

the expected low carbon and low sludge, as well as cleans engine parts and

satisfactory cranking at low temperature down to -60oF. PPGMBE340 does

not readily crystallize. Instead, it becomes too thick to flow at a temperature

known as the pour point. The pour point for this polymer is very low (-

56oC). Even at temperature below its pour point, it does not crystallize but

form a glasslike solid. Due to the extraordinary properties of PPGMBE340

in automobile industry, it is also selected as one of the components of binary

solutions with two non-polar aromatic liquids toluene and benzene and one

polar aromatic liquid benzyl alcohol in order to investigate the effect of

polarity and aromaticity on molecular interaction in binary solutions.

It is expected that this study will give a deep inview on the role of

various factors like polarity (dipole moment), molecular size, hydrogen

bonding, etc. governing the molecular interactions amounting to the

complex formation and temperature sensitivity towards the strength of the

complexation between different molecular species.

The detailed study on molecular interactions in binary solutions in

future may be helpful for the selection of binary mixtures as better lubricants

and engine oil to enhance the longevity of engine in different industries.

The present chapter reports a systematic description of

experimental measurements of ultrasonic velocity, viscosity, density

and refractive index at varying temperatures viz. 293.15, 303.15 and

313.15 K and at atmospheric pressure. A brief description of

apparatuses and their principles of working have been summarized.

The thermodynamic and excess parameters evaluated using

experimental data are reported in this chapter.

2.1 ULTRASONIC VELOCITY MEASUREMENT

Mainly there are three techniques used to measure ultrasonic

velocity in liquids viz. echo-pulse, optical diffraction and

interferometry technique. In the present work ultrasonic velocity is

measured using interferometry technique, a modified version of

Owens and Simmons [1] has recently being used by many workers

[2-5], for the measurement of ultrasonic velocity in liquids.

2.1.1 Principle of Interferometry Technique

An ultrasonic interferometer is a simple and direct device to

determine the ultrasonic velocity in liquids with a high degree of

accuracy. A single crystal interferometer was first devised by Pierre

[6] to measure sound velocity in liquids. The working of such

devices can be illustrated with the help of schematic diagram (Fig.

2.1), where T represents a transducer, usually an X-cut quartz

crystal, whose surfaces are silver or gold polished to provide

metallic contacts to a radio frequency electronic oscillator, ‘O’.

When the frequency of driving oscillator (O) coincides with the

natural frequency of piezoelectric transducer T, it vibrates with

Page 41: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

Page 42: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

24

appreciable amplitude. These vibrating surfaces of the crystal

generate a plane mechanical wave of the same frequency, which

travels through the medium towards a plane reflecting plate R,

maintained parallel to the crystal surface. The reflector R can be

moved normal to the crystal and along the direction of the sound

wave. When the distance between the reflector and the crystal is an

integral number of half the wavelength, standing waves are set-up in

the medium between the crystal and the reflector. The reflected

wave arriving back at the crystal is then 180o out of phase with the

vibration of the crystal. The resulting decrease in the amplitude of

the crystal vibration is accompanied by a corresponding decrease in

the alternating current through the crystal. The distance moved by

the reflector between two successive current minima (or maxima) is

equal to λ/2 (Fig. 2.2), where λ is the wavelength of the mechanical

wave in the medium between crystal and reflector. Once the

wavelength is known, the ultrasonic velocity (u) in the liquid can be

obtained using the following relation:

Ultrasonic velocity(u)= frequency (f) × wavelength (ʎ) (2.1)

2.1.2 Experimental Set-up

A variable path fixed frequency interferometer (Model F81,

Mittal Enterprises, New Delhi) Fig. 2.3 was used for the present

study, consisting of a high frequency generator and a measuring cell.

2.1.2a High Frequency Generator

The circuit diagram of ultrasonic interferometer is shown in

Fig. 2.4. This is a high frequency crystal controlled oscillator based

on modified Pierre circuit operating in the megahertz region. It is

used to excite the piezoelectric transducer which is a quartz crystal

fixed at the bottom of the measuring cell to produce ultrasonic

waves at its resonant frequency in the experimental liquid filling the

cell. The oscillator is provided with a micro-ampere meter and two

trimmer condensers marked A and B on the backside of the

generator assembly. These are used to adjust or tune the instrument

so that sufficient deflection in anode current can be observed. Two

controls, one for the adjustment of micro-ampere meter and the

other for controlling the gain, are provided. The detailed technical

specifications are given below:

(a) Main voltage- 220V, 50Hz

(b) Measuring frequency- 2 MHz

(c) Glow lamp- 6.3 V, 0.3 A

(d) Fuse- 150 mA

2.1.2b Measuring Cell

Measuring cell is a double walled cylindrical metallic

container (Fig. 2.5) attached vertically into a slot on a heavy metal

base which works as the coupler between piezoelectric crystal and

the high frequency generator. Piezoelectric crystal is fixed at the

base of this measuring cell. Outer wall has provision for circulation

of water or any other liquid for maintaining the temperature of the

experimental liquid, filled in this cell. A quartz crystal of a particular

natural frequency of vibration, which acts as piezoelectric transducer

is fixed at the bottom of the cell. A movable metallic reflector plate,

attached to a micrometre screw arrangement and kept parallel to the

crystal, is housed inside the cell. A digital screen is also attached

with cell to give direct micrometer reading. The measuring cell can

be easily dismantled into three pieces viz. metal base, container and

reflector such that the experimental liquid can be easily poured into

Page 47: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

26

the cell. The transducer is coupled to the high frequency oscillator

by a coaxial cable. The detailed technical specifications are as

under:

(a) Maximum displacement of the reflector -25 mm

(b) Liquid cell capacity-12 mL

(c) Least count of micrometer-0.001 mm

The calibration of ultrasonic interferometer was done by

measuring the velocity in AR grade benzene (C6H6) and carbon tetra

chloride (CCl4). Our measured values of ultrasonic velocity at

293.15, 303.15 and 313.15 K agree closely with the literature values

of C6H6 and CCl4. The temperature was maintained by circulating

water around the liquid cell from thermostatically microprocessor

controlled Brookfield temperature controller TC-502 (see section

2.5) and covering the measuring cell along with its base with a

specially made thermocol jacket with a window for noting down

micrometre readings using digital display which directly gives the

reading of current maxima or minima. The uncertainty in the

measurement of speed of sound is found to be 0.1m/sec.

2.2 VISCOSITY MEASUREMENT

The viscosity has been measured using Brookfield Cone /

Plate LVDV-II+ Pro programmable viscometer (Brookfield

Engineering Laboratories, Inc., USA) with complete control by PC

using Brookfield Rheocalc32 Software (Fig. 2.6). The temperature is

measured by RTD temperature sensor.

2.2.1 Principle of Operation

The principle of operation of the LVDV-II + Pro is to drive a

spindle (which is immersed in the test fluid) through a calibrated

Page 49: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

Figure2.6 LVDV II + Pro Viscometer Supplied by Brookfield Engineering Laboratories, USA

Page 50: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

27

spring. The viscous drag of the fluid against the spindle is measured

by the spring deflection, which in turn measured by a rotary

transducer. Cone/plate geometry offers absolute viscosity

determinations with precise shear rate and shear stress information

readily available. Cone/plate geometry is particularly suitable for

advanced rheological analysis of non-Newtonian fluids. The

measurement range of a DV-II + Pro is determined by the rotational

speed of the spindle rotating in the container and the full scale

torque of the calibrated spring. The viscometer is of the rotational

variety. It measures the torque required to rotate an immersed

spindle in the fluid. The spindle is driven by a motor through a

calibrated spring. By utilizing a multiple speed transmission and

interchangeable spindles, a variety of viscosity ranges can be

measured. For a given viscosity, the viscous drag, or resistance to

flow, is proportional to the spindle’s speed of rotation and is related

to the spindle size and shape. The drag will increase as the spindle

size / rotational speed increases.

2.2.2 Experimental Set-up

The stepper drive motor is located at the top of the instrument

inside housing. The viscometer case contains a calibrated beryllium-

copper spring, one end of which is attached to the pivot shaft; the

other end is connected directly to the dial. The dial is driven by the

motor driven shaft and in turn drives the pivot shaft through the

calibrated spring. The relative angular position of the pivot shaft is

detected by a rotary variable displacement transducer (RVDT) and is

read out on a digital display. Below the main case, is the pivot cup

through which the lower end of the pivot shaft protrudes. A jewel

bearing inside the pivot cup rotates the transducer; the pivot shaft is

Page 51: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

28

supported on this bearing by the pivot point. The lower end of the

pivot shaft comprises the spindle coupling to which the

Viscometer’s spindles are attached.

2.2.3 Electronic Gap Setting

The gap between the cone and plate is adjusted by moving the

plate (build into the sample cup) up towards the cone until the pin in

the centre of the cone touches the surface of the plate, and then by

lowering the plate 0.0005 inch. This gap setting is required because

most of the fluids are dependent on shear rate and the spindle

geometry conditions. The specification of the viscometer spindle

and chamber geometry will affect the viscosity readings. The faster

the spindle, higher is the shear rate. The shear rate of a measurement

is given by the rotational speed of the spindle, the size and shape of

the container and therefore, on the distance between the container

wall and the spindle surface.

2.2.4 Software

Rheocalc 32 is a control programme which operates the

LVDV-II + Pro in external control via a PC as well as a data

gathering program which collects the data output from DV-II + Pro

and provides the capability to perform graphical analysis and data

file management. Important features and benefits in Rheocalc32

enhance operator versatility in performing viscosity tests. It is

compatible with Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000 and NT operating

systems. Its 32 bit operation makes the performance rapid.

2.2.5 Specifications

Each spindle has a two digit entry code which is entered via

the keypad on the LVDV-II + Pro. The entry code allows the

LVDV-II + Pro to calculate viscosity, shear rate and shear stress

Page 52: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

29

value. Each spindle has two constants which are used in these

calculations. The Spindle Multiplier Constant (SMC) is used for

viscosity and shear stress calculations and the Shear Rate Constant

(SRC), used for shear rate and shear stress calculations. For spindle

CPE-40 (entry code 40) SMC value is 0.327 and SRC is 7.5, while

for spindle CPE- 52 (entry code 52) SMC is 9.922 and SRC is 2.

The spring torque constant TK is 0.09373. Using these constants, the

full scale viscosity range is calculated using following equations,

Full Scale Viscosity Range (cp) =TK×SMC×100/RPM×Torque (2.2)

Shear Rate (1 / sec) = SRC × RPM (2.3)

Shear Stress (Dynes / cm2) = TK × SMC × SRC × Torque (2.4)

The experimental assembly allows measurement of viscosities

in the range of 0.15 to 3065 cp (with CPE-40) and 4.6 to 92,130 cp

(with CPE-52) with an accuracy of +1.0% of full scale range and

repeatability of +0.2%. These viscosity ranges are for operational

speeds 0.1 through 200 rpm. Apparatus requires only 0.5mL of the

liquid for measurement of viscosity.

The apparatus measures fluid absolute viscosity directly in cp.

The apparatus was calibrated by two viscosity standards

(Polydimethylsiloxane, with viscosity 4.6 and 485 cp) provided by

the Brookfield Engineering Laboratories. The viscosity standards are

Newtonian, and therefore, have the same viscosity regardless to the

spindle speed.

2.3 DENSITY MEASUREMENT

The density of each liquid and liquid mixture has been

measured using a dilatometer. The dilatometer consists of a long

tube graduated in 0.01 mL scale, fitted to a bulb of about 8 mL

Page 53: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

30

capacity. To minimize the loss of liquid due to evaporation, Teflon

cap was used for closing the open end of the capillary stem, with a

small orifice to ensure that the pressure inside the capillary was

equal to the atmospheric pressure. A certain mass of solution was

allowed to expand at the desired temperature and reading was taken

when thermal equilibrium was maintained. The weight of empty,

well cleaned and dried dilatometer was taken accurately by

electronic balance OHAUS (AR 2140) (see section 2.6) and then the

liquid was introduced into the bulb of the dilatometer with the help

of hypodermic syringe having a needle long enough to reach the

bottom of the bulb so as to avoid the undesired sticking of the

solution to the inner wall of the dilatometer stem. Filled dilatometer

was again weighed accurately. For maintaining the temperature,

filled dilatometer was kept inside a double wall glass jacket having

provisions of water circulation. The temperature was controlled by

circulating water around the glass jacket using microprocessor based

digital controller bath having precessions of + 0.010C (Model TC-

502) (see section 2.5). Temperature of the dilatometer was

maintained for about half an hour to attain thermal equilibrium

between the contents of the dilatometer and the water circulating

around it. The density of the experimental liquid, at the given

temperature, is calculated using the values of its mass and volume.

2.4 REFRACTIVE INDEX MEASUREMENT

Refractive index of the liquid under investigation was

measured using an Abbe’s refractometer supplied by the Optics

Technologies, New Delhi, measuring refractive index in the range of

1.300 to 1.700 with uncertainty less than + 0.001 unit.

Page 54: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

31

2.4.1 Principle of Abbe’s Refractometer

The working of the Abbe’s refractometer can be understood

with the help of Fig. 2.7. Abbe’s refractometer is based on accurate

measurement of critical angle. The critical angle for a boundary

separating two optical media is defined as the smallest angle of

incidence in the medium of greater refractive index, for which the

light is total internally reflected [7]. Fig. 2.8 shows the schematic

diagram of the Abbe’s refractometer. A light-beam from a

monochromatic source, a sodium lamp in the present work,

illuminates the face AB. P and Q are right-angled prisms each of

refractive index higher than that of the experimental liquid. A thin

layer of the experimental liquid is introduced between them using a

hypodermic glass syringe. The prism Q and mirror M simply

provide a convenient method of passing light from the liquid into

prism P. The light ray incident on face AB of the prism P at an angle

θi is refracted at an angle θr and strikes at the face AC at an angle ψi.

φi is the angle of emergence from the face AC. If θc is the critical

angle for the interface between the prism and liquid, then

plc nn θ sin = , (2.5)

where, ln = refractive index of the liquid, and

pn = refractive index of the prism-material.

For grazing incidence on the face AB (i.e. θi ≈ 90o), the light

will be refracted at an angle θi = θc (due to principle of reversibility)

[10] and thus emerges from the face AC at an angle φc (say). For any

other incidence, i.e. θi < 90o, the light will be refracted at an angle

less than θc and therefore will emerge from the face AC at an angle

Page 55: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

Figure 2.7 Abbe’s Refractometer

Figure2.8 Working of Abbe’s Refractometer

Page 57: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

32

greater than φc. Thus, no light ray will emerge at an angle of

emergence less than φc. Hence, along the line in the plane, across the

field of view of telescope T, the intensity will show a sudden rise at

the point corresponding to the angle of emergence φc; a line of

demarcation will appear, the right hand side of which will appear

brighter.

If α is the angle of the prism, then

Thus by knowing the value of φc, one can measure the value

of refractive index of the liquid with respect to air [8]. To measure

φc, telescope T is adjusted to bring the demarcation line on the cross-

wire. The telescope is then swung round using the Gauss eyepiece

until it is set with its axis perpendicular to face AC. The angle turned

through by the telescope T is obviously φc. Usually Telescope is

carried on an arm attached to a scale which is calibrated to read

directly the refractive index of the liquid.

Page 58: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

33

2.4.2 Calibration and Mode of Operation

The prism chamber and the scale of the Abbe’s refractometer

are mounted on the same axis and rotate together when the milled

head is operated (Fig. 2.8). There is a provision for circulating water

from the water bath around the prism chamber in order to maintain

the desired temperature of the prism chamber and hence that of

experimental liquid.

A small quantity of the experimental liquid is introduced

between the two prisms. The reflector fitted on the base of the

instrument is adjusted in such a way that a beam of light passes

through the opening at the bottom of the lower prism. The eyepiece

of telescope is focused on the cross-wire in its focal plane. The

prism chamber is rotated by operating the milled head until the

cross-wire coincides with the line of demarcation between bright

and dark halves of the field of view. At this position, the reading on

the scale gives the direct value of refractive index of the liquid. The

calibration of the refractometer was verified by measuring the

refractive indices of standard liquids - benzene and carbon tetra

chloride. Refractive indices were found to be 1.501 and 1.461

respectively which are very close to the respective literature values

of 1.5011 and 1.4607 [9].

2.5 TEMPERATURE MAINTENANCE

The temperature was maintained using programmable

temperature controller (Model TC-502), supplied by Brookfield

Engineering Laboratories, Inc., USA (Fig. 2.9). It has a pump of

variable speeds for water circulation in water jackets of the

Page 59: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

Page 60: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

34

apparatus. The temperature controllers cover the temperature

measurement range of -20 to 200oC, with an accuracy of + 0.01oC.

2.6 PREPARATION OF MIXTURES

Binary liquid mixtures have been prepared in thoroughly

cleaned and dried narrow-mouthed tight stoppered glass bottles. The

two liquids mixed by mass weighted on an electronic balance

OHAUS AR-2104 (OHAUS Corp. Pine Brook, NJ, USA; Fig. 2.10)

with an accuracy of 1 x 10-4g. The possible error in the estimation of

mole fraction is less than + 0.0001.

The masses of the component liquids required for preparing

the mixture of a known composition were calculated and the liquids

weight and mix to prepare binary mixture. Extreme care was taken

to minimize the preferential evaporation during the process.

2.7 EVALUATION OF THERMO-ACOUSTIC AND EXCESS

PARAMETERS

2.7.1 Isentropic Compressibility (KS)

treatment and relaxation process yields that in the limit of low

frequencies; sound velocity u in a fluid medium is expressed as

where P, ρ and sκ are pressure, density and isentropic

compressibility of the medium respectively.

The importance of the isentropic compressibility in

determining the physicochemical behavior of liquid mixtures has

been reported by earlier workers [10-12].

2.7.2 Acoustic Impedance (Z)

The acoustic impedance represents a characteristic of the

medium that is closely akin to electrical impedance. It is determined

by all the elastic properties of the material and is defined as,

Z = ρ u (2.11)

Singh et al. [13] has used the deviation of acoustic impedance

from ideal behavior by mole fractional addition as a measure of

intermolecular interaction.

2.7.3 Intermolecular Free Length (Lf)

In the analysis of propagation of sound wave through a

loosely packed medium, a simple model that envisages the

molecules as rigid billiard-balls was developed by many workers

[14-17]. Let L be the average distance between the centers of the

molecules and the distance between the surfaces of two neighboring

molecules, be called as intermolecular free length, fL . The

mechanical momentum of a sound wave is transferred from one

molecule to the next with gas kinetic mechanism with velocity νm,

such that

Page 63: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

36

where, Po = pressure in the space unoccupied by matter, called

available or free volume.

Since the molecules are assumed to be rigid, they must travel

only the fraction Lf /L of any distance over which momentum is

transmitted. A part of the path of the sound wave is thus short-

circuited by the molecule i.e. in the time interval Δt between two

collisions the molecules have travelled a distance Lf = νmΔt, but the

momentum is transferred over a greater distance L = uΔt [18]. The

distance Lf is directly related to available volume per mole Va and is

given as

Jacobson [19] has shown that if Tc for a liquid is not available,

then the intermolecular free length can be estimated from the

experimental density and ultrasonic velocity data using the relation

where, K is temperature dependent empirical constant, proposed by

Jacobson, having values 618, 631 and 642 at 293.15K, 303.15K and

313.15K, respectively.

A number of workers [20-23] have reported the importance of

intermolecular free length in the study of molecular interactions.

2.7.4 Gibb’s Free Energy of Activation of Viscous Flow (∆G*)

The absolute rate theory [24] based Eyring’s kinematic

viscosity model gives the relation

=RT

*G exp N A hVη (2.18)

where η, V, NA, h, R, T and ΔG* are kinematic viscosity, molar

volume, Avagadro’s constant, Plank’s constant, universal gas

constant, absolute temperature and Gibb’s activation energy of flow

respectively.

Many workers [25-27] have discussed the importance of

excess value of ∆G* in the study of molecular interactions.

2.7.5 Free Volume (Vf) and Internal Pressure (πi)

Internal pressure is a fundamental liquid property, which is a

resultant of the attractive and repulsive forces among the constituent

molecules of a liquid. The relationship among applied pressure (P),

molar volume (V), temperature (T), and molar internal energy (U) is

given by the thermodynamic relation

written as

Curve Expert 1.3 linear regression equation consists of a

linear combination of a particular set of functions XA are called

linear models, and linear regression can be used to minimize the

difference between the model and data. The general form of this

kind of model is

𝑦(𝑘) = ∑𝑎𝑘𝑋𝑘(𝑥) (2.45)

where Xk(x) are fixed function of x that are called the basis

functions, and ak one the free parameters. “Linear” refers only to

dependence of the model on parameters ak; the functions Xk(x) may

be nonlinear. Minimization of the above linear model is performed

with respect to the merit function,

𝑆(𝑎) = ∑ �𝑦𝑖 ∑ 𝑎𝑘𝑋𝑘(𝑥𝑖)𝑛𝑝𝑘=1 �

2𝑛𝑖=1 (2.46)

The minimum of the above occurs where the derivative of S

with respect to the parameters disappears. Substituting the linear

model into this function, taking the first derivative, and setting this

equal to zero gives the normal equations that can be solved directly

for the parameters ak.

In Curve Expert, the linear regression polynomial equation is,

𝑦 = 𝑎 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐𝑥2 + 𝑑𝑥3 + ⋯⋯⋯ (2.47)

The standard deviation ( )EYσ with no. of co-efficients (p) is

2.9 ESTIMATION OF ULTRASONIC VELOCITY

The theoretical evaluation of sound velocity in liquid mixtures

is of considerable interest. The theoretical evaluation of sound

velocity based on molecular models in liquid mixtures has been used

to correlate with the experimental findings and to know the

thermodynamics of the mixtures. The comparison of theoretical and

experimental results also provides better understanding about the

validity of the various thermodynamic, empirical, semi empirical

and statistical theories.

2.9.1 Mixing Rules for Ultrasonic Velocity

velocity and the additivity of the molar volumes in liquid solutions,

[37] and is given as

2.9.3 Flory Statistical Theory

Flory Statistical Theory [38] is an important method for

theoretical evaluation of surface tension of mixture. Patterson and

Rastogi [39] studied this theory for the evaluation of surface tension

using reduced parameters. The values of surface tension thus

Page 73: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

46

obtained, have been utilized to calculate ultrasonic velocity using

critical data of temperature, pressure, volume and reduced

parameters, employing the Auerbach relation (eq. 2.53).

The following relation to calculate characteristic surface

tension was used,

3/1*3/2*3/1* TPk=σ (2.53)

where k , *P and *T are the Boltzmann constant, characteristic

pressure and temperature respectively. Here,

2.10 ESTIMATION OF VISCOSITY

Bingham [42] proposed the following relation for ideal

viscosity of a binary mixture

2211m xx ηηη += (2.69)

This relation assumes that no changes in the volume of the

mixture on mixing the components have taken place.

The Additive relation, based on Arrhenius model and

Eyring’s model [43] for the viscosity of pure liquids can be

modified for binary mixtures as,

222111mm V ln xV ln xV ln ηηη += (2.70)

According to Kendall-Munroe [44], the viscosity of a binary

mixture is given by,

ln x ln x ln 2211m ηηη += (2.71)

Page 76: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

49

and it assumes logarithmic additivity of viscosity.

Hind and Ubbelohde [45] gave the following relation for

predicting viscosity of a binary mixture, taking into consideration

the molecular interactions

12212221

21m xx2xx ηηηη ++= (2.72)

Frenkel [46], using the Eyring’s model, developed the

following logarithmic relation for non-ideal binary liquid mixtures

12212221

21m lnxx2 lnx lnx ln ηηηη ++= (2.73)

which takes into account the molecular interaction.

The Sutherland-Wassiljewa [47] equation for viscosity of

liquid mixtures is

∑∑

jjij

iim xA

x ηη (2.74)

where Aij is the Wassiljewa coefficient which is independent of

composition. Thus, viscosity of multicomponent mixtures can be

predicted from values of Aij deduced from the measurement of

binary mixtures and is given as,

Grunberg and Nissan Model [48] proposed their parabolic

type equation for correlating the viscosity of mixtures with only one

adjustable parameter,

where G12 is the only interaction parameter in the equation.

2.11 DENSITY MODELS

2.11.1 Modified Rackett Model and Hankinson- Brobst- Thomson

(HBT) Model for Density

Due to strong dependence of design and optimization of

chemical processes on computer calculations, the availability of

accurate, simple and tested method, as well as related parameters is

of increasing relevance. In this case, consideration was given to the

Rackett equation of state and HBT model in order to analyze how

accurate densities are predicted. According to Rackett model [49]

the density could be described as,

3.1 INTRODUCTION

In recent years [1-6], researchers are taking considerable

interest in theoretical and experimental investigations of excess

thermodynamic properties of binary mixtures. The interaction

between molecules can be established from the study of

characteristic departure from ideal behavior of physical properties

viz; density, viscosity, refractive index, excess Gibb’s free energy of

activation etc. [7,8].

N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA), a clear liquid, miscible in all

proportions with water as well as most of the organic solvents

including alcohols, ethers, ketones etc. DMA is a dipolar aprotic

solvent with boiling point (438.2 K), significant dipole moment

(3.72D) greater than water and medium dielectric constant (37.78) at

298.15 K [9]. The good water solubility and excellent solvent power

particularly for high molecular weight polymers and resins make

DMA as a common solvent in man- made fiber and polyurethane

production. DMA is also used as a solvent for production of X-ray

and photo-resistant stripping compounds. It acts as a good reaction

medium as well as a catalyst for many reactions. It is also used as a

plasticizer for cosmetic and pharmaceutical intermediates and a

good extraction agent for gases and oils.

Alcohol molecules are highly associated through H-bonding,

though they have low values of dipole moment and dielectric

constant. The solution properties of binary mixtures of DMA with

alkanols have been the subject of intensive research [10-13], owing

Page 87: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

59

to their importance as super solvent for chemical reactions and many

industrial processes.

A rigorous literature survey on molecular interaction studies

on binary liquid mixtures in DMA [9, 14-21] reveals that no

systematic detailed study has been made on density, viscosity and

refractive index with excess properties for binary mixtures namely

DMA + 1-propanol, DMA + methanol and DMA + water. In the

present study, molecular association in the binary mixtures of DMA

with 1-propanol, methanol and water at three temperatures 293.15,

303.15 and 313.15 K over the entire range of composition has been

reported. Values of excess molar volume (VmE), deviation in

viscosity (∆η), deviation in molar refraction (ΔRm) and excess

Gibbs’s free energy of activation for viscous flow (ΔG*E) have been

evaluated and fitted to Curve Expert 1.3 linear regression

polynomial equation. The results have been discussed in terms of

molecular association occurring between the constituent molecules

of the mixture.

3.2 CHEMICALS

N, N-dimethylacetamide (grade analytical standard, mass

fraction ≥ 0.999), anhydrous 1-propanol (mass fraction ≥ 0.997) and

methanol (mass fraction ≥ 0.998) were supplied by Sigma-Aldrich

Pvt. Ltd. All these solvents were stored under moisture free

conditions to avoid the alterations of their specifications. Deionized

water (conductivity < 10-6 mho) was used. The measured density,

viscosity and refractive index of pure liquids along with their

literature values are given in Table 3.1 and are in good agreement.

3.3 RESULTS

The values of density, viscosity and refractive index for the

mixtures DMA + 1-propanol, DMA + methanol and DMA + water

over the entire range of composition at three temperatures, 293.15,

303.15 and 313.15 K were determined experimentally. These values

are reported in Tables 3.2 to 3.4 along with the calculated values of

excess molar volume (VmE), deviation in viscosity (∆η), deviation in

molar refraction (ΔRm) and excess Gibbs’s free energy of activation

for viscous flow (ΔG*E). Table 3.5 displays the values of the

polynomial coefficient ia and standard deviations evaluated by Curve

Expert 1.3 software.

3.4 DISCUSSION

The values of excess parameters for binary mixtures can be

explained by different types of intermolecular interactions between

the component molecules on the basis of non-specific van der

Waal’s forces, hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, donor-

acceptor interaction between unlike molecules and fitting of smaller

molecules into the voids created by bigger molecules.

In Fig. 3.1, variation of excess molar volume (VmE) for all the

three systems as a function of mole fraction of DMA at 293.15,

303.15 and 313.15 K is shown. Examination of curves reveals that

the values of VmE are negative for all the three systems and varies in

a manner; 1-propanol < methanol < water. Negative values of VmE

are an indication of presence of strong intermolecular interaction in

these systems due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between

oxygen atom of >C=O group of DMA and hydrogen atom of –OH

Page 89: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

61

of alcohols and water molecules. This contribution is found to be

most significant for DMA + water system and is least for DMA + 1-

propanol. The higher negative values of VmE amongst all three

systems show that DMA is more interactive with water molecules

than methanol or 1-propanol molecules.

In Fig. 3.2(a), for DMA + 1-propanol mixture, deviation in

viscosity (∆η) is found to be negative over entire composition range

at all three temperatures. At a particular mole fraction the absolute

values of ∆η decreases as temperature is raised. An increase in

temperature decreases the self-association of molecules of pure

component and increases hetero association between unlike

molecules results in less negative values of ∆η. Similar temperature

dependence has been reported by Marigliano et al. [22] for

formamide + alcohol mixture. Many workers [9, 23-27] have

reported similar behavior where negative values of ∆η indicate

dispersive forces and some workers [28, 29] have suggested that

negative ∆η values may also be due to difference in size of

component molecules. For DMA + methanol system (Fig. 3.2b),

both positive and negative values of ∆η were obtained, the increase

in positive value of ∆η up to a mole fraction of 0.5 clearly indicates

very strong interaction through intermolecular hydrogen bonding

between DMA and methanol molecules. The fall in positive value of

∆η from a mole fraction of 0.5 to around 0.7 indicates lesser

interaction between DMA and methanol through intermolecular

hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding interaction becomes almost

negligible after the inflection point at around 0.7 mole fraction and

thereafter negative ∆η values are observed indicating intermolecular

interaction through weak dispersive forces. The positive values of

Page 90: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

62

∆η for DMA + water system (Fig. 3.2c) at all the concentrations of

the mixture indicates the formation of strong hydrogen bonding

between DMA and water molecules perhaps due to the smaller size

of water. Collective comparison of Fig. 3.2 (a), (b) and (c) supports

the size dependent hydrogen bond interaction, since water is the

smallest molecule and 1-propanol is the largest molecule clearly

indicating the size dependent interaction between DMA +

water/alcohol molecules. It seems that as the size from water

molecule to the 1-propanol increases the percent of hetero-molecular

hydrogen bond interaction decreases.

Fig. 3.3 (a), (b) and (c) represents the variation ΔRm versus

mole fraction for DMA + 1-propanol, + methanol, + water

respectively. The highest negative values of ΔRm for DMA + water

system suggest the strongest hetero-intermolecular interaction in the

system and the order of interaction is

DMA + water > DMA + methanol > DMA + 1-propanol

These results of ΔRm support our findings based on VmE and Δη.

Like deviation in viscosity, excess Gibb’s free energy of

activation (∆G*E) is negative for DMA + 1-propanol mixture (Fig.

3.4a) and positive for DMA + water mixture (Fig. 3.4c) over entire

range of composition at all the three temperatures. In DMA +

methanol mixture (Fig. 3.4b) ∆G*E values are positive in methanol

rich region but slightly negative in amide rich region. These positive

values of ∆G*E indicates strong interaction in DMA + water and

DMA + methanol mixtures, whereas negative ∆G*E values for DMA

+ 1-propanol mixture is due to the predominance of dispersive

forces.

3.5 CONCLUSION

Excess molar volume (VmE), deviation in viscosity (∆η), molar

refraction deviation (ΔRm) and excess Gibbs’s free energy of

activation for viscous flow (ΔG*E) were calculated from

experimentally measured density, viscosity and refractive index data

at three temperatures and atmospheric pressure and correlated with

Curve Expert 1.3 linear regression polynomial equation. The

observed negative values of VmE, ΔRm and positive values of ∆η and

ΔG*E indicate the presence of strong interaction in DMA + water and

DMA + methanol systems. The order of interaction was found to be

DMA + water > DMA + methanol > DMA + 1-propanol. This order

clearly indicates the size dependent hetero-inter molecular hydrogen

bonding interactions.

4.1 INTRODUCTION

The study of molecular association in organic binary mixtures

having alcohol as one of the components is of particular interest,

since alcohols are strongly self-associated liquids having a three

dimensional network of hydrogen bonds [1] and can be associated

with any of other group having some degree of polarity [2]. Since

the ultrasonic velocity measurements are highly sensitive to

molecular interactions and can be used to provide qualitative

information about the physical nature and strength of molecular

interaction in the liquid mixtures [3-5].

An extensive survey of literature [6-15] reveals that thermo-

acoustical studies for binary mixtures of N,N-dimethylacetamide

(DMA) with 1-propanol, methanol and water are lacking. Therefore,

in the present chapter, ultrasonic velocity technique is selected to

study these mixtures systematically.

The intermolecular interactions present in the mixtures have

been investigated through deviation in ultrasonic velocity (Δu),

excess acoustic impedance (ZE) and excess intermolecular free

length (LfE). These excess parameters have been fitted to Curve

Expert 1.3 linear regression polynomial equation. Derived

parameters such as isentropic compressibility (Ks), effective Debye

temperature (ϴD) and specific heat ratio (γ) at varying concentrations

of DMA have also been calculated using experimental data for all

the three systems. The results have been interpreted on the basis of

strength of intermolecular interaction occurring between constituent

molecules of the mixtures.

Page 106: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

77

Various semi empirical mixing rules proposed by Nomoto,

Vandeal, Junjie, CFT and Flory’s statistical theory (FST) for the

estimation of ultrasonic velocity of liquid mixtures have also been

applied to these binary mixtures. HBT (and Rackett) density models

have been applied to compare the experimental and theoretically

calculated values of density because these theories are successfully

used by many workers [16-19]. The results have been discussed in

terms of average percentage deviation (APD).

The main purpose of this chapter is to reconfirm the results

obtained in previous chapter that molecular interactions are based on

the hydrocarbon chain length of alcohols, using ultrasonic technique.

4.2 RESULTS

The experimental and literature values of ultrasonic velocity

for pure liquids viz. DMA, 1-propanol, methanol and water are

given in Table 4.1, which are in close agreement. The values of

density and ultrasonic velocity for DMA + 1-propanol, DMA +

methanol and DMA + water mixtures over the entire range of

composition at three temperatures, 293.15, 303.15 and 313.15 K are

reported in Table 4.2. The calculated excess parameters like

deviation in ultrasonic velocity (Δu), excess acoustic impedance (ZE)

and excess intermolecular free length (LfE) are presented in Table

4.3. Table 4.4 displays the values of the Curve Expert 1.3 linear

regression polynomial coefficient, ia evaluated by Curve Expert 1.3

software along with standard deviations. The parameters isentropic

compressibility (Ks), pseudo-Grüneisen parameter (Г) and specific

Page 107: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

78

heat ratio (γ) reported in Table 4.5 are temperature sensitive and

provide significant information regarding intermolecular interaction.

4.3 DISCUSSION

4.3.1 Excess Parameters

Deviation in ultrasonic velocity (Δu) for all the three systems

as a function of mole fraction of DMA at 293.15, 303.15 and 313.15

K are shown in Fig. 4.1. Examination of curves reveal that the

values of Δu are positive for all the three systems and varies in a

manner; 1-propanol < methanol < water. Moore & Fort [20] and

many other workers [21-24] suggest that positive values of Δu are an

indication of presence of strong intermolecular interaction between

the unlike liquid molecules. Positive values of Δu for DMA + 1-

propanol, DMA + methanol and DMA + water indicate that the

formation of hydrogen bonds between oxygen atom of >C=O group

of DMA and hydrogen atom of -OH of alcohols and water

molecules. Proton accepting ability of DMA attributes to the

formation of hydrogen bonds with alcohols and water. This

contribution is found to be most significant for DMA + water as

compared to DMA + methanol system and is least significant for

DMA + 1-propanol system. The higher positive values of Δu

amongst all three systems show that DMA is more interactive with

water than methanol or 1-propanol.

Similarly, deviation in ultrasonic velocity (Δu), excess

acoustic impedance (ZE) is positive for all the systems (Fig. 4.2)

over entire range of composition at all the three temperatures which

supports the presence of strong intermolecular interaction between

unlike molecules. The strength of interaction varies according to the

Page 108: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

79

hydrocarbon chain length of alcohols. The increase in hydrocarbon

chain length of the alcohol diminishes its polarity and therefore,

interaction due to hydrogen bonding vary in the manner; 1-propanol

< methanol < water.

The intermolecular free length (Lf) is one of the important

acoustical parameter, which is used to study the nature and strength

of molecular interaction. As can be seen in Fig. 4.3, the values of

excess intermolecular free length (LfE) are negative for all the

mixtures at all three temperatures. The negative values of LfE

indicate that the sound wave needs to cover a large distance. These

negative values also support the formation of hydrogen bonds

between unlike molecules.

4.3.2 Thermo-acoustical Parameters

Figs. 4.4 and 4.5 represent the variation of density (ρ) and

isentropic compressibility (Ks) with mole fraction of DMA for all

three systems at 293.15, 303.15 and 313.15 K. Density increases as

the concentration of DMA increases and isentropic compressibility

has an inverse relationship with the density, it decreases as the

concentration of DMA increases. In case of DMA + Methanol, Figs.

4.4b and 4.5b show sudden changes of ρ and Ks at lower

concentration of DMA. This non-linear behavior of density and

isentropic compressibility reflects the strong hydrogen bonding

between oxygen atom of >C=O in DMA and -OH hydrogen atom of

methanol. For the mixture DMA + Water (Fig. 4.4c), density

increases and reaches a maximum and then decreases. Similar

behavior is also shown in Ks (Fig. 4.5c). The occurrence of maxima

in ρ and minima in Ks at 0.0999 and 0.1998 mole fractions

respectively at all three temperatures, shows that the complexation

Page 109: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

80

become maximum at these concentrations and decreases with further

increase of concentration of DMA. This may be interpreted in

terms of the formation of strong hydrogen bonding resulting into

complex formation. In case of DMA + 1-propanol, density (Fig.

4.4a) and isentropic compressibility (Fig. 4.5a) show almost linear

behavior with concentration of DMA. This explains that hydrogen

bond formed between 1-propanol and DMA molecule is weak in

strength as compared to hydrogen bond form between DMA and

methanol/water.

Effective Debye temperature (ϴD) and specific heat ratio (γ)

decreases with increase in temperature for all the three mixtures. It is

also observed that these parameters are affected by changing the

mole fraction of DMA. ϴD and γ vary non-linearly with composition

and temperature in the order of 1-propanol < methanol < water.

4.3.3 Semi-empirical Relations

Table 4.6 shows the values of APD of ultrasonic velocity

predicted by various relations and theories. For estimation of

ultrasonic velocity theoretically, Nomoto’s relation is best suited for

DMA + 1-propanol and DMA + methanol mixtures and CFT is best

for DMA + water system. However, Vandeal’s relation shows very

high APD values for all three binary mixtures.

From the literature values (Table 4.7) of Critical temperature,

Characteristic volume, Accentric factor, Critical pressure, Unique

constant and Critical volume of pure liquids, in order to see the

accuracy in density measurements, theoretical values of density

were calculated both from HBT and modified Rackett models. Root

mean square deviations in experimental values of density from

theoretical values are reported in Table 4.8. Rackett density model is

best suited for these binary mixtures

4.4 CONCLUSION

Deviation in ultrasonic velocity (Δu), excess acoustic

impedance (ZE) and excess intermolecular free length (LfE),

calculated from experimentally measured density and ultrasonic

velocity at three temperatures and atmospheric pressure are

correlated with Curve Expert 1.3 linear regression polynomial

equation. Estimated values of various thermo-acoustic parameters

(Ks, ϴD and γ) and excess parameters suggested the occurrence of

complexations through hetero-molecular H-bonding between DMA

and 1-propanol, methanol and water in these binary mixtures. The

effect of temperature on the strength and extent of interaction among

the component molecules of liquid mixtures seems to be significant.

Comparison of experimental and estimated values of ultrasonic

velocity in terms of average percentage deviation exhibits the

suitability of semi-empirical relations and theories. Root mean

square deviations obtained from the HBT and modified Rackett

models for prediction of density show the excellent agreement

between experimental and theoretical values. It is also concluded

that proton donating ability of alcohol and proton accepting ability

of amide linearly vary with alkyl chain length.

5.1 INTRODUCTION

Poly (propylene glycol) monobutyl ether 340 (PPGMBE340)

is a unique synthetic polymer, among other polyalkylene glycols

having the structure,

PPGMBE340 is inexpensive, biodegradable, insoluble in

water [1], and is widely used as lubricant for automobile engine in

cold climates [2, 3]. This fluid shows the expected low carbon and

low sludge, as well as cleans engine parts and satisfactory cranking

at low temperature down to -60oF. PPGMBE340 does not readily

crystallize. Instead, it becomes too thick to flow at a temperature

known as pour point. The pour point for this polymer is very low

(-56oC). Even at temperatures below its pour point, it does not

crystallize but forms glass like solid. It is also used as fire-resistant

fluid, brake fluid, compressor lubricant, textile lubricant,

metalworking fluid, refrigeration lubricant, two-cycle engine

lubricant, crankcase lubricant etc.

PPGMBE340 is also used as hydraulic fluid, metal working

fluid, heat transfer fluid, solder assist fluid, plasticizer and foam

control agent. The pendent methyl group on each repeat unit in

poly(propylene oxide) led to a lower cohesive energy density and

surface tension that reduces the intermolecular interaction between

Page 129: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

99

polymer segments, resulting in a higher solubility of poly(propylene

oxide) verses poly(ethylene oxide) [4].

The solubility of a PPGMBE340 is determined by its

structure. It is a polar molecule and according to solubility rules it

should dissolve in polar solvents. The solubility derived from the

presence of propylene oxide group in its molecule is responsible for

its water insolubility and solubility in nonpolar solvents to some

level [5].

In a dilute solution, the properties of polymer are

characterized by the interaction between the solvent and the

polymer. In a good solvent, the polymer appears swollen and

occupies a large volume. When a polymer is added to given solvent,

attraction as well as dispersion forces becomes active between its

segments, according to their polarity, chemical characteristics and

solubility parameters. If the polymer-solvent interactions are higher

than its intramolecular attraction forces, the chain segment of the

polymer start to entrap solvent molecules, increasing the volume of

the polymer matrix and loosening out their coiled shape.

A rigorous literature survey reveals that molecular interaction

studies on binary liquid mixtures in PPGMBE340 are almost lacking

[4]. Seeing the importance of PPGMBE340, in the present study, it

is proposed to initiate with the molecular interaction studies on

binary mixtures of PPGMBE340 with non-polar aromatic

hydrocarbons namely benzene, toluene and a polar aromatic liquid

benzyl alcohol at three temperatures 293.15, 303.15 and 313.15 K

over the entire range of composition. Density, viscosity and

refractive index of these mixtures were experimentally measured at

several mole fractions of PPGMBE340 and thermodynamic

properties namely excess molar volume VmE, deviation in viscosity

∆η and deviation in molar refraction ∆Rm were calculated and fitted

to Curve Expert 1.3 linear regression polynomial equation. The

results have been discussed in terms of molecular association

occurring between the components.

Using various semi empirical mixing rules proposed by

Lorentz-Lorenz (L-L), Gladstone-Dale (G-D), Wiener (W), Heller

(H), Arago-Biot (A-B), Newton (N), Eykman (E) and Oster (O),

refractive index was also theoretically calculated. A comparative

study has been made between the experimental and theoretical

values of refractive index at all the three temperatures and results

have been discussed in terms of average percentage deviation

(APD).

their standard deviations. The Table 5.5 shows optical dielectric

constant (ε), polarizability (α) and interaction parameter (d) of the

systems PPGMBE340 + toluene, PPGMBE340 + benzene and

PPGMBE340 + benzyl alcohol. APD of theoretically estimated

values of refractive index are listed in Table 5.6.

5.4 DISCUSSION

5.4.1 Excess Parameters

Non-ideal liquid mixtures show considerable deviation from

the linearity in their physical parameters with respect to

concentration and these have been interpreted in terms of the

presence of weak or strong interactions. The excess properties

provide valuable information about microscopic and macroscopic

behavior of liquid mixtures [6, 7], and can be used to test and

improve thermodynamic models for calculating and predicting the

fluid phase equilibria. These excess properties are fundamentally

important in understanding the intermolecular interactions and

nature of molecular agitation in dissimilar molecules. These

functions give an idea about the extent to which a liquid mixture

deviates from ideality [8, 9].

Page 132: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

102

The variation of VmE values with x1 at three temperatures are

shown graphically in Fig. 5.1. The VmE values are negative for all the

three mixtures over whole composition range at all the temperatures.

The extent of negative deviation in VmE on mole fraction follows the

sequence: toluene < benzene < benzyl alcohol. Negative values of

VmE are an indication for presence of specific intermolecular

interaction in these systems.

VmE values are found to be more negative for PPGMBE340 +

benzene system in comparison to PPGMBE340 + toluene system

(Fig. 5.1) probably due to the strong non-polar interaction between

benzene and non-polar chain of PPGMBE340, whereas the

interaction of toluene with polymer is less due to the +I effect of

–CH3 group of toluene. The higher negative values of VmE (Fig.

5.1c), in the case of PPGMBE340 + benzyl alcohol amongst all three

systems, show that PPGMBE340 is more interactive with benzyl

alcohol molecules than benzene or toluene molecules because of H-

bond formation between –OH group of both polymer and benzyl

alcohol molecules viz.

Hydrogen bonding between the molecules of benzyl alcohol and PPGMBE340

Polymer size and structure also play an important role to

understand the interaction in solution. The structural contributions are

mostly negative and arise from several effects, especially from

Page 133: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

103

interstitial accommodation and changes in the free volume. The actual

value of excess parameters would depend on the relative strength of

these effects. The experimental values of VmE suggest that H-bonding

and interstitial accommodation both are leading to the negative values

while increase in negative values with temperature suggest that

structural effect is more prominent than chemical effect in these

solutions due to the fitting of smaller molecules of benzene, toluene and

benzyl alcohol into the voids created by bigger molecules of

PPGMBE340 and the large difference in molar volumes of components

(molar volumes of PPGMBE340, toluene, benzene and benzyl

alcohol are 354.43, 106.29, 88.87 and 103.36 cm3mol-1 respectively at

293.15K. The actual value of excess parameters would depend on the

relative strength of these effects.

Hansen [10] proposed that the cohesive energy has three

components, corresponding to the three types of interactions;

E = ED + EP + EH

Dividing the cohesive energy by the molar volume gives the

square of the Hildebrand solubility parameter as the sum of the

squares of the Hansen dispersion (D), polar (P) and hydrogen

bonding (H) components;

E/Vm = ED/Vm + EP/ Vm + EH/ Vm

δ2 = δ2D + δ2

P + δ2H

where δ, δD, δP and δH are total Hildebrand solubility parameter,

Hansen dispersive solubility parameter, Hansen polar solubility

parameter and Hansen hydrogen bonding solubility parameter

respectively.

Page 134: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

104

Solubility parameters for toluene, benzene and benzyl alcohol

are shown below,

Component δ δD δP δH

Toluene 18.2 18.0 1.4 2.0

Benzene 18.6 18.4 0.0 2.0

Benzyl alcohol 23.8 18.4 6.3 13.7

Viscosity is also an important bulk property that provides a

measure of the internal friction of a fluid and is closely related to the

self-association of molecules in liquids. The viscosity deviations Δη

are negative for the systems PPGMBE340 + toluene and

PPGMBE340 + benzene, over the entire composition range at all the

three temperatures and increase with rise in temperature as can be

seen from Figs. 5.2(a) and 5.2(b). From the above discussion total

Hildebrand solubility parameter (δ) of toluene and benzene are

highly dependent upon Hansen dispersive solubility parameter (δD)

indicating that the interaction between polymer and benzene /

toluene is because of dispersive forces. Dispersive forces are weak

intermolecular forces which give negative deviation in PPGMBE340

+ toluene and PPGMBE340 + benzene. Figs. 5.2(a) and 5.2(b) show

that, Δη values are more negative in PPGMBE340 + toluene than

PPGMBE340 + benzene mixture, which implies that benzene is

comparatively more interactive with PPGMBE340 than toluene.

Negative deviation in Δη values may also be on account of the

difference in the molecular size of the component molecules. Similar

conclusions have also been reported by other workers [11, 12].

Furthermore, the Δη values become less negative and tend towards

zero with rise in temperature indicating that the system approaches

Page 135: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

105

ideal behavior at higher temperatures meaning thereby the thermal

energy enhances the molecular order in the mixture.

The viscosity deviation, Δη, is positive for the system

PPGMBE340 + benzyl alcohol, over the entire composition range at

all three temperatures and decrease with increase in temperature as

can be seen from Fig. 5.2(c). The positive values of Δη indicate the

presence of strong intermolecular interaction between the

components of the mixture. From above solubility parameter table,

the Hansen hydrogen bonding solubility parameter (δH) of benzyl

alcohol is sufficiently high. Hansen hydrogen bonding solubility

parameter (δH) and presence of –OH group on both polymer and

benzyl alcohol shows that moderate hydrogen bonding occurs

between PPGMBE340 and benzyl alcohol molecule. The increase in

temperature decreases the strength of H-bonding between unlike

molecules. Consequently the values of Δη become less positive as

the temperature is raised in PPGMBE340 + benzyl alcohol mixture.

Refractometry is one of the earliest techniques used to study

polymer dissolution [13]. The basic of this technique is that during

the dissolution process, the polymer concentration increases

continuously in the solvent and this concentration can be measured

by the refractive index. Molar refraction deviation (∆Rm) is found to

be negative for all the three mixtures (Fig. 5.4). The observed

negative values of ∆Rm support that specific interactions occur

between unlike molecules in mixture. The effect of temperature is

not prominent in molar refraction deviation study.

5.4.2 Thermophysical Parameters

Optical properties of liquids and liquid mixtures have been

widely studied to obtain information on their physical, chemical and

molecular behavior. Maxwell’s theory for electromagnetic materials

[14-17] gives the following relation between optical dielectric

constant and refractive index assuming that for non-magnetic

materials permeability approximately approaches unity.

𝜀 = 𝑛𝐷2

The permittivity ε, of nonpolar solvents can be explained by

considering, both, the properties of the isolated molecules and the

effects of the molecular interactions. At different densities, the

variations of permittivity with temperature are calculated from

theories taking account of pair interactions only. The classical

calculations of the average field at a molecule due to identical

polarized neighbors in a structure of cubic symmetry lead to the

Clausius-Mossotti equation [18,19], which gives polarisability as,

𝛼 = 3

4𝜋𝜌 �𝜀 − 1𝜀 + 2�

where ρ is the density and α is the total polarisability of the isolated

molecule, assumed to be independent of interactions with neighbors.

The interaction parameter d, in Gruenberg and Nissan

equation [20] is a measure of the strength of interaction between the

mixing components. The magnitude and sign of interaction

parameter are said to indicate the particular type of interaction

present in the solution. Large and positive d values indicate strong

specific interactions; small positive values indicate weak specific

interaction and large negative values indicate no specific interaction.

ln 𝜂𝑚 = 𝑥1ln 𝜂1 + 𝑥2ln𝜂2 + 𝑥1𝑥2𝑑

Page 137: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

107

Table 5.5 reveals that optical dielectric constant (ε) for the

systems PPGMBE340 + toluene, PPGMBE340 + benzene and

PPGMBE340 + benzyl alcohol varies non-linearly with mole

fraction of PPGMBE340 (Fig. 5.4). It indicates that benzyl alcohol

is more interactive with PPGMBE340 than benzene and toluene.

Polarizability (α) of the mixture as given in Table 5.5 shows that the

polarizability of studied mixture decreases monotonously with mole

fraction of PPGMBE340. There is negligible change in

polarizability with temperature that may be due to small permanent

electric dipole moments of the components and their mixtures, as

orientation of molecular dipoles is slightly disturbed by temperature.

The values of interaction parameter (d) in all the three

systems under investigation are positive. These large and positive

values of interaction parameter indicate specific interaction to be

present in the solutions under study.

Table 5.6 shows the results of estimation of refractive index in

terms of average percentage deviation (APD) for all the three

mixtures. It may be seen from Table 5.6 that all the mixing rules are

best suited for estimation of refractive index in these mixtures.

5.5 CONCLUSION

Significant specific intermolecular interactions are

observed in all the three systems. From observed experimental data

and calculated excess parameters, it is found that the interaction is

strongest in the system PPGMBE340 + benzyl alcohol. The

difference in molar volumes of the components is much large hence

the structural effect is prominent in these mixtures. Derived

parameters (ε, α and d) also support that intermolecular interactions

Page 138: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

108

are present between solvents and polymer. The effect of temperature

on the strength and extent of interaction among the component

molecules of liquid mixtures seems to be significant. Comparison of

experimental and estimated values of refractive index in terms of

average percentage deviation exhibits the suitability of semi-

empirical relations.

CHAPTER 6 Thermoacoustical Studies in Binary Liquid

Mixtures of Poly(propylene glycol)monobutyl ether340 (PPGMBE340) with Toluene,

Benzene and Benzyl alcohol at Three Temperatures

6.1 INTRODUCTION

Ultrasonic technique is a powerful and effective tool for

investigation of properties of polymer solutions and behavior of

polymer chains under the influence of ultrasonic field [1].

Poly (propylene glycol) monobutyl ether 340 (PPGMBE340)

is most useful as lubricant and fire resistant fluid [2, 3]. It is a unique

synthetic polymer among other polyalkylene glycols due to its

biodegradability, insolubility in water and low cost [4].

Previous Chapter 5, deals with the molecular interaction

studies in binary solutions of PPGMBE340 with benzene, toluene

and benzyl alcohol using density, viscosity and refractive index

measurements. In the present chapter, it is proposed to apply a more

sensitive ultrasonic velocity technique for those binary solutions, in

order to confirm our findings arrived at earlier in Chapter 5.

From the experimental data of density and ultrasonic velocity,

deviation in ultrasonic velocity (Δu), deviation in isentropic

compressibility (ΔKsE), excess acoustic impedance (ZE), excess

intermolecular free length (LfE) and excess molar enthalpy (Hm

E)

were calculated for binary systems PPGMBE340 + toluene,

PPGMBE340 + benzene and PPGMBE340 + benzyl alcohol over

the whole composition range at temperatures 293.15, 303.15 and

313.13K and the results have been fitted to Curve Expert 1.3 linear

regression polynomial equation.

6.2 RESULTS

The values of density and ultrasonic velocity measured

experimentally for PPGMBE340 + toluene, PPGMBE340 + benzene

and PPGMBE340 + benzyl alcohol solutions over the entire range of

composition at three temperatures, 293.15, 303.15 and 313.15 K are

given in Table 6.1. The calculated excess parameters like deviation

in ultrasonic velocity (Δu), deviation in isentropic compressibility

(ΔKsE), excess acoustic impedance (ZE), excess intermolecular free

length (LfE) and excess molar enthalpy (Hm

E) are presented in Tables

6.2 - 6.4. Table 6.5 displays the values of the Curve Expert 1.3 linear

regression polynomial coefficient, ia evaluated form Curve Expert

1.3 software along with standard deviations.

6.3 DISCUSSION

Fig. 6.1a shows that Δu values are negative for PPGMBE340

+ toluene at all the three temperatures where as in the case of

PPGMBE340 + benzene system (Fig. 6.1b); values of Δu are found

to be negative at temperature 293.15K, which turns to be positive

at 303.15 and 313.15K. In system PPGMBE340 + benzyl alcohol

(Fig. 6.1c) the values of Δu is positive at all the three temperatures.

The negative values of Δu show that a weak intermolecular

interaction occurs between unlike molecules and positive values of

Δu show specific intermolecular interaction between unlike

molecules in mixtures, as interpreted earlier by Fort and Moore [5].

It can be observed from Fig. 6.2 that the deviation in

isentropic compressibility, ΔKs is positive over the whole range of

composition for PPGMBE340 + toluene. However, ΔKs values are

Page 154: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

123

negative for the mixtures PPGMBE340 + benzene and PPGMBE340

+ benzyl alcohol, that may be due to decrease in volume on mixing

of liquids of different molecular size, as have also been reported by

Fort and Moore in past [5]. The observed negative values of ΔKs in

case of PPGMBE340 + benzyl alcohol can also be explained on the

basis of complex formation through hydrogen bonding between

unlike molecules. Similar results have been found by Singh et al [6]

for the binary mixtures of 2-butoxyethanol with PEG200 and

PEG400. However, in PPGMBE340 + toluene, an expansion in free

volume is expected to occur, making this mixture more compressible

than the ideal mixture, which ultimately culminates into the positive

values of ΔKs.

The variation of excess acoustic impedance against mole frac-

tion is given in Fig. 6.3. The values are found to be positive for all

the three systems under investigation. The positive values of ZE vary

according to toluene < benzene < benzyl alcohol at all the

temperatures and suggest the presence of specific interaction in all

these systems, which is more prominent in PPGMBE340 + benzyl

alcohol. The maximum value at around x=0.5 for ZE indicates the

enhancement of bond strength at this concentration. This kind of

variations suggest that significant interactions are operative in these

mixtures, already reported by Ali et al. [7] for the binary systems of

benzyl alcohol and benzene.

Due to intermolecular interactions, geometry of the molecule

is deformed, which affects the compressibility and thus a change in

ultrasonic velocity. The ultrasonic velocity in a mixture is mainly

influenced by the free length between the surfaces of the molecules

of the mixture. The inverse dependence of intermolecular free length

Page 155: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

124

on ultrasonic velocity has been evolved from the model of sound

propagation proposed by Eyring and Kincaid [8]. Excess

intermolecular free length (LfE) is found to be negative for all three

binary mixtures (Fig. 6.4). The negative contribution of LfE indicates

the presence of strong interaction between unlike molecules. The

extent of negative variation in LfE follows the sequence: toluene <

benzene < benzyl alcohol. Similar results have been found by

Yasmin et al [9] for the binary mixtures of PEG200 with

ethanolamine / m-cresol/ aniline.

The excess molar enthalpy HmE versus mole fraction curve

(Fig. 6.5a) shows the zig-zag shape for PPGMBE340 + toluene

mixture and negative for PPGMBE340 + benzene / benzyl alcohol

mixtures (Fig. 6.5b and 6.5c). The values of HmE for PPGMBE340 +

toluene are positive at 293.15K and negative at 303.15K and

313.15K. The negative values of HmE indicate the presence of strong

intermolecular interaction between unlike molecules. However, the

positive values of HmE in case of PPGMBE340 + toluene mixture at

293.15K, suggest the weak intermolecular interaction between

unlike molecules. Yasmin et al [10] have also reported the similar

positive and negative behavior of HmE for pentanol with poly

(ethylene glycol) diacrylate / poly (ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate

solutions.

Effect of temperature on molecular interaction is significant in

all three systems. In the binary mixtures, PPGMBE340 + toluene

and PPGMBE340 + benzene the interaction between unlike

molecules increases with increase in temperature. In case of

PPGMBE340 + benzyl alcohol, reverse results are observed i.e. with

increase in temperature, intermolecular interaction decreases

Page 156: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

125

between unlike molecules, perhaps due to the difficulty of hydrogen

bond formation between PPGMBE340 and benzyl alcohol.

6.4 CONCLUSION

On the basis of deviation in ultrasonic velocity (Δu), deviation

in isentropic compressibility (ΔKsE), excess acoustic impedance (ZE),

excess intermolecular free length (LfE) and excess molar enthalpy

(HmE), it was concluded that specific intermolecular interaction was

present in all the three systems which is more prominent in

PPGMBE340 + benzyl alcohol system probably due to hetero-

molecular hydrogen bond formation. These results confirmed the

findings reported in Chapter 5.

7.1 INTRODUCTION

The present chapter is theoretical and deals with the

calculations of surface tension and various other thermophysical

properties like relaxation time (τ), molecular association (MA), van

der Waal’s constant (b), relaxation strength (r), molecular radius

(rm), geometrical volume (B), molar surface area (Y) and collision

factor (S) for the binary mixtures of the polymer PPGMBE340 with

toluene, benzene and benzyl alcohol at temperatures 293.15, 303.15

and 313.15K from experimentally determined values of density,

viscosity, refractive index and ultrasonic velocity of their mixtures

reported in Chapters 5 and 6. These parameters are quite sensitive

towards the interactions between the component molecules of the

mixture. The dependence of these parameters on the composition of

the mixture reveals the nature and extent of interaction between

component molecules [1, 2].

7.2 CALCULATION OF SURFACE TENSION AND OTHER

THERMOPHYSICAL PARAMETERS

The surface tension of solutions has been calculated using the

well-known Auerbach relation [3]

𝑢𝑚 = �𝜎𝑚

6.3 × 10−4𝜌𝑚�2/3

𝜎𝑚 = 𝑢𝑚3/26.3 × 10−4𝜌𝑚 (7.1)

Relaxation time (τ) [4] and molecular association (MA) are

calculated using equations (7.2) and (7.3) viz.

𝜏 = 4𝜂3𝑢2𝜌

(7.2)

𝑀𝐴 = 𝑢𝑚∑ 𝑥𝑖𝑢𝑖

2 −12𝑖=1

(7.3)

The non-linearity parameter ( AB ) has been defined [5] in

terms of specific heat ratio as:

K2K2AB '' += γ (7.4)

where K and ''K are the isobaric acoustical parameter and isochoric

acoustical parameter and are given by:

where α and 𝑉� are the thermal expansion coefficient and reduced

van der Waal’s constant (b), relaxation strength (r), molecular

radius (rm), geometrical volume (B), molar surface area (Y) and

collision factor (S) are calculated [6,7] using the following relations:

van der Waal’s constant:

𝑏 = 4 𝑉𝑚(𝑛𝑚2 −1)(𝑛𝑚2 +2)

(7.5)

Relaxation strength:

𝑟 = 1 − � 𝑢𝑢∞�2 (7.6)

Molecular radius:

Page 172: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

140

𝑟𝑚 = � 3𝑏16𝜋𝑁𝐴

�13� (7.7)

Geometrical volume:

𝐵 = �43� 𝜋𝑟3𝑁𝐴 (7.8)

Molar surface area:

𝑌 = (36𝜋𝑁𝐴𝐵2)1 3� (7.9)

Collision factor:

𝑆 = 𝑢𝑚𝑉𝑢∞𝐵

(7.10)

where NA, Vm and 𝑢∞ denote Avagadro number (NA= 6.023 × 1023),

molar volume of mixture and 𝑢∞ is taken 1600 m/sec.

7.3 RESULTS

The theoretically calculated values of surface tension (σ),

relaxation time (τ), molecular association (MA) and non-linearity

parameter (B/A) are presented in Tables 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 for

PPGMBE340 + toluene, + benzene and + benzyl alcohol

respectively over entire range of mole fractions at 293.15, 303.15

and 313.15K. Other thermophysical parameters viz. van der Waal’s

constant (b), relaxation strength (r), molecular radius (rm),

geometrical volume (B), molar surface area (Y) and collision factor

(S) are similarly reported in Tables 7.4, 7.5 and 7.6.

7.4 DISCUSSION

The surface tension of a liquid mixture is not a simple

function of the surface tension of pure components, since in a

mixture the composition of the surface is not the same as that of the

bulk. In a typical situation, the bulk composition is known but not

Page 173: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

141

the surface composition. Figs. 7.1(a), (b) and (c) show variation of

surface tension of solution against mole fraction of PPGMBE340 for

all the three systems. The surface tension of the PPGMBE340 +

toluene and PPGMBE340 + benzene systems at 293.15K increases

almost linearly with increase in concentration of PPGMBE340. As

the temperature is raised the nonlinearity is observed in

PPGMBE340 + toluene and PPGMBE340 + benzene systems,

which suggest that specific intermolecular interaction occurs

between unlike molecules at 303.15 and 313.15K. PPGMBE340 +

benzyl alcohol system shows a reverse trend i.e. the surface tension

of the mixture decreases with increase in concentration of polymer.

From Fig. 7.1(c), it is clear that the non-linear variation in the

PPGMBE340 + benzyl alcohol system is larger than the other two

systems at all the three temperatures indicating stronger

intermolecular interaction in this system.

The variation of relaxation time (τ) with the mole fraction of

PPGMBE340 can be seen from Fig. 7.2. The values of τ increase

non-linearly with increasing mole fraction of PPGMBE340 for all

three systems. The non-linearity shows that the specific interactions

are present between polymer and toluene, benzene and benzyl

alcohol molecules.

Molecular association is an attractive interaction between

two molecules that results in a stable association in which the

molecules are close to each other resulting in the formation of

a molecular complex, which is a loose association of two or more

molecules. The non-linear variation of molecular association with

Page 174: harshit agarwal thesis.pdf

142

mole fraction of PPGMBE340 interprets presence of specific

interaction between polymer and other liquids, Fig. 7.3.

The variation of non-linear parameter (B/A) against mole

fraction of polymer shows non-linear behavior (Fig. 7.4). In case of

PPGMBE340 with toluene and benzene, Figs. 7.4(a) and 7.4(b), the

values of B/A decrease at lower concentrations and further increase

with increase in concentration indicating a specific interaction which

occurs between polymer and toluene / benzene molecules at all three

temperatures. For the system PPGMBE340 + benzyl alcohol, Fig.

7.4(c), the higher non-linearity as compared to PPGMBE340 +

benzene / toluene systems suggest that PPGMBE340 is highly

interactive with benzyl alcohol rather than benzene and toluene.

It can be seen from the Tables 7.4, 7.5 and 7.6 that most of the

parameters show the non-linear variation with the mole fraction

which again supports the presence of significant molecular

interaction existing between component molecules.

7.5 CONCLUSION

Theoretically estimated values of various thermophysical

parameters suggest the occurrence of complexations through

heteromolecular interaction between PPGMBE340 and toluene,

benzene and benzyl alcohol. Various thermophysical and non-linear

parameters offer a convenient means for elucidating liquid state

properties related to the sound propagation data.
