Ultrasonic and Volumetric Effects of Self-Association of Aliphatic Alcohols in Cyclohexane

The speed of ulrtasound in and densities of binary solutions of ethanol, propan-2-ol and 2-methylopropan-2-ol in cyclohexane were measured on the whole concentration range at 293.15K. The excess molar volumes, free volumies, excess free volumes and adiabatic cmpressibility coeffcients, as well as the free intermolecular lenghts were determined for binaries. The dependance of the excess molar volumes and excess free volumes on the mixture composition were compared and discussed in terms of the intermolecular lenght and other factors afecting the self-association of alcohols and structural changes od the solvent.
