Excess volumes for binary liquid mixtures of butylamine with aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons

Abstract

Excess volume data for binary liquid mixtures of butylamine with aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons were measured as a function of composition dilatometrically at 303.15 and 313.15 K. The hydrocarbons include: benzene, toluene, three isomeric xylenes, hexane, heptane, and octane. The values of VE were found to be positive over the entire range of composition in all the eight systems at both the temperatures. The positive values were ascribed to the break-up of hydrogen bonds in the aggregates of amine by the hydrocarbons.
