Densities, Viscosities, and Refractive Indices of Binary Liquid Mixtures of Hexane, Decane, Hexadecane, and Squalane with Benzene at 298.15 K

Densities, ρ, viscosities, η, and refractive indices, nD, for binary mixtures of hexane, decane, hexadecane, and squalane with benzene were measured over the whole composition range at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure. The excess molar volumes, , and viscosity deviations, δη, were calculated from experimental measurements. These result were further fitted to the Redlich−Kister equation to estimate the binary coefficients and standard errors. The effects of chain length and branching of alkanes on and δη values have been discussed.
