    Densities and excess molar volume for the ternary systems (1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl sulphate + Nitromethane + Methanol or Ethanol or 1-Propanol) at T = (303.15 and 313.15) K
    (SA Epublications, 2013) Bahadur, Indra; Deenadayalu, Nirmala
    The densities of the ternary systems containing the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl sulphate ([BMIM]+[MeSO4]–) were determined. The ternary systems studied were ([BMIM]+[MeSO4]– + nitromethane + methanol or ethanol or 1-propanol) at the temperatures (303.15 and 313.15) K. The ternary excess molar volumes were calculated from the experimental densities at each temperature, being negative for all mole fractions of the ionic liquid. The minimum ternary excess molar volumes increase with an increase in temperature for the systems ([BMIM]+[MeSO4]– + nitromethane + methanol or ethanol), and decrease for the system ([BMIM]+ [MeSO4]–+ nitromethane + 1-propanol). The results are interpreted in terms of the alcohol chain length and the intermolecular interactions.

    Density, speed of sound, and refractive index measurements for the binary systems (butanoic acid + propanoic acid, or 2-methyl-propanoic acid) at T = (293.15 to 313.15) K
    (Elsevier, 2012-09-17) Bahadur, Indra; Deenadayalu, Nirmala; Naidoo, Paramespri; Ramjugernath, Deresh
    Density, speed of sound, and refractive index for the binary systems (butanoic acid + propanoic acid, or 2-methyl-propanoic acid) were measured over the whole composition range and at T = (293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, and 313.15) K. The excess molar volumes, isentropic compressibilities, excess isentropic compressibilities, molar refractions, and deviation in refractive indices were also calculated by using the experimental densities, speed of sound, and refractive indices data, respectively. The Redlich–Kister smoothing polynomial equation was used to fit the excess molar volume, excess isentro- pic compressibility and deviation in refractive index data. The thermodynamic properties have been discussed in terms of intermolecular interactions between the components of the mixtures.
