Abstract: | Viscosities of seven binary systems of n-propylamine, n-butylamine, n-hexylamine, n-octylamine, n-hexane, n-octane, and isoctane (2,2,4-trimethylpentane) with tributylamine have been measured at 303.15 and 313.15 K with an Ubbelohde suspended-level viscometer. Based on Eyring's theory, values of excess Gibbs energy of activation G
*E
of viscous flow have been calculated. Deviations of viscosities from linear dependence on the mole fraction and values of G
*E
are attributed to the H-bonding and to the size of alkylamine and alkane molecules. The free volume theory of Prigogine-Flory-Patterson in combination with work by Bloomfield-Dewan has been used to estimate the excess viscosity ln and the terms corresponding to enthalpy, entropy, and free volume contributions for the present binary mixtures. |
