Excess parameters of binary mixtures of acetonitrile- dimethyl sulphoxide

Abstract

The excess parameters associated with liquid mixes of acetonitrile-dimethyl sulphoxide were analyzed to estimate the degree of intermolecular interactions in the binary system. The viscosities and densities of the binary system were determined at temperatures of 298.15, 303.15, 318.15, 328.15, and 338.15K, respectively, with a percentage composition of 0 to 100 percent. Using the experimental density and viscosity measurements, the excess molar volumes (V_m^E), excess viscosity (n^E), excess Gibbs' free energy of activation of viscous flow (G*^E), and Grunberg-Nissan interaction parameters were calculated. Deviations from these parameters studied in the composition of the mixtures and temperature were discussed in terms of molecular interactions in these mixtures. A comparison of several interaction characteristics was expressed to better understand the intermolecular interactions between acetonitrile and dimethyl sulphoxide. As the temperature of the system and the mole fractions of acetonitrile rise, the viscosity and density of the experimental values drop. According to the findings, the excess parameters were mostly negative, indicating that dipoledipole interactions predominated in the acetonitrile-dimethyl sulphoxide solvent mixture.
