Viscosity of Aqueous Solutions of 2-Propyne-1-ol, 2-Methyl-3-Butyne-2-ol and 3-Butene-2-ol

摘要

Viscosities of aqueous solutions of 2-propyne-l-ol (propargyl alcohol), 2-methyl-3-butyne-2-ol and 3-butene-2-ol have been measured at temperatures 308.15, 313.15, 318.15, 323.15 and 328.15 K over the entire composition range. Viscosity of the aqueous solutions of 2-methyl-3-butyne-2-ol and 3-butene-2-ol increases up to a maximum value and then starts decreasing almost linearly as the mole fraction of alcohol increases. 2-Methyl-3-butyne-2-ol + water and 3-butene-2-ol + water systems exhibit maxima around 0.5 and 0.2 mole fraction, respectively. Conversely, 2-propyne-l-ol + water system shows a rapid initial increase in viscosity up to 0.3 mole fraction followed by a slow steady increase as the mole fraction of alcohol increases to its pure state. Plots of excess viscosities against mole fraction of organic solutes for all the systems exhibit a sharp increase in η~E to reach a well defined maxima, after which the curves show a descending trend. The variations of viscosity and excess viscosity with the composition of the mixtures have been interpreted in terms of hydrophobia and hydrophilic interactions between the species forming the mixtures.
