been reported at 250C. From the viscosity and
density data the thermodynamic excess
properties like deviation

excess molar volume (VE) and excess Gibbs free
energy of activation of viscous flow ( G*E) have
also been calculated (12-14).

Gibbs free energy of activation of viscous flow ( G* )

INTRODUCTION

EXPERIMENTAL

All organic liquids used in the research

were AR grade and used without further
purification. Binary mixtures were prepared by
mixing appropriate masses of each liquid i.e.,
ethyl alcohol and methyl benzene in an airtight
stoppard glass bottle. The masses of liquids
were recorded on an electronic balance to an
accuracy of 0.0001 g. Care was taken to avoid
contamination during mixing.

The mixing of two liquids leads to

formation of a solution. Such solutions termed
as binary solutions. The thermodynamic
properties of binary liquid mixtures and its
analysis is a very interesting subject to correlate
the interactions between two liquids (1-2). The
characterization of binary liquid mixture
through thermodynamic properties leads to the
mixing behaviour of liquids (3-7). The
evaluation of thermodynamic excess properties
like deviation in viscosity (), excess molar
volume (VE) and excess Gibbs free energy of
activation of viscous flow ( G*E) of binary
liquid mixture has very useful to understand the
nature of intermolecular interactions between
these. (8-11). In the ethyl alcohol molecular
association is occur due to the intermolecular
hydrogen bonding. Due to this hydrogen
bonding alcohol is liquid. When methyl benzene
is mixed in to the ethyl alcohol, the molecular
association of ethyl alcohol decreased because
some new interactions between two liquids have
developed.

The density of pure liquids and binary

mixtures were measured by using 15cm3
pycnometer. The pycnometer was calibrated
with distilled water. Viscosity of pure liquids
and binary mixtures were measured by using
Ostwald viscometer.

CONCLUSION

In this research work deviation in

viscosity (), excess molar volume (VE) and
excess Gibbs free E energy of activation of
viscous flow ( G* ) for binary
mixture of
toluene and ethyl alcohol at 250C have been
reported.

Where,
x1 and x2 = Mole fractions of component 1 and 2.
M1 and M2 = Molar masses of component 1
and 2.

Deviations in viscosity () have been

found to be negative for all the compositions,
which suggested the weak intermolecular
interactions between the toluene and ethyl
alcohol. Excess molar volume has been found
both negative and positive. The negative values
of VE can be explained by considering the
chemical or specific interactions which includes
the charge transfer type forces. On the other
hand positive values can be

d1 and d2 = Densities of component 1 and 2 (g

-3
cm ).
1 and 2 = Viscosities of component 1 and 2 (mPa.
s).

V1 and V2 = Molar volumes of component 1 and

3
-1
2 (cm mol ).

explained by considering the physical or nonspecific interactions between the real species in
the mixture. Excess Gibbs free energy of
activation of viscous flow ( G*E) have also been
found to be negative over entire compositions,
which indicate the dominance of dispersion
forces between the mixing components.
