A novel approach to discuss the viscosity Arrhenius behaviour and to derive the partial molar properties in binary mixtures of N,N-dimethylacetamide with 2-methoxyethanol in the temperature interval (from 298.15 to 318.15) K

Abstract

Calculation of excess properties in N,N-dimethylacetamide + 2-methoxyethanol binary mixtures at (298.15, 308.15 and 318.15) K from experimental density, viscosity and sound velocity values were presented in previous work. Applications of these experimental values to test different correlation equations as well as their corresponding relative functions were also reported. Considering the quasi-equality between the Arrhenius activation energy Ea and the enthalpy of activation of viscous flow ΔH*, here we can define partial molar activation energy Ea₁ and Ea₂ for N,N-dimethylacetamide and 2-methoxyethanol, respectively, along with their individual contribution separately. Correlation between Arrhenius parameters reveals interesting Arrhenius temperature with a comparison to the vaporisation temperature in the liquid vapour equilibrium, and the limiting corresponding partial molar properties that can permit us to estimate the boiling points of the pure components.
