Excess Thermodynamic Parameters of Binary Liquid Mixtures of Dimethyl Malonate with Isomeric Xylenes at Different Temperatures

Over the complete composition range of mole fractions, densities and ultrasonic velocities of binary liquid mixtures of dimethyl malonate with o-xylene, p-xylene and m-xylene were investigated at 303.15-318.15 K. These parameters were chosen to investigate the impact of substituents and specific locations on several thermodynamic characteristics of binary mixtures. The deviation in adiabatic compressibility (∆βad), excess molar volume (VE) and excess intermolecular free length (LfE) were estimated using the experimental measurements. These extraneous parameters are fitted to a polynomial equation of the Redlich-Kister type. Along with the obtained parameter values, the standard deviation (σ) was also determined.
