Derived partial molar properties investigations of viscosity Arrhenius parameters in formamide +<i>N,N</i>-dimethylacetamide systems at different temperatures

Abstract

AbstractExcess properties calculated from the literature values of experimental density and viscosity in N,N-dimethylacetamide + formamide binary mixtures between 298.15 K and 318.15 K can lead us to test different correlation equations as well as their corresponding relative functions. Inspection of the Arrhenius activation energy Ea and the enthalpy of activation of viscous flow ΔH* shows very close values. Here, we can define partial molar activation energies Ea1 and Ea2 for N,N-dimethylacetamide and formamide, respectively, along with their individual contribution separately. Correlation between the two Arrhenius parameters of viscosity in all compositions shows the existence of two main distinct behaviours separated by the mole fraction equal to 0.3 of N,N-dimethylacetamide. In addition, the correlation between Arrhenius parameters reveals interesting Arrhenius temperature, which is closely related to the vaporisation temperature in the liquid vapour equilibrium and the limiting corresponding partial molar properties can permit us to predict the boiling points of the pure components.Keywords: binary liquid mixtureArrhenius activation energyArrhenius temperaturemolecular interactionboiling temperature AcknowledgmentsWe thank the Deanship of Scientific Research, University of Dammam, Saudi Arabia for supporting this work (Research Project # 2014070).
