a b s t r a c t The speed of sound (u) has been obtained at a frequency of 8.3 MHz in {CH3CH2OCH2CH2OH + HOCH2CH2 (OCH2CH2)nOH}for n = 0, 1, 2, and 3 over the whole composition range of studied binary liquid mixtures, at T = 298.15 K. The speed of sound values were combined with those of our previous results for densities and viscosities to obtain isentropic compressibility (κs), free volume (Vf), and intermolecular free length (Lf). From all these data excess isentropic compressibility (κ Es ), excess free volume (V Ef ) and excess intermolecular free length (LEf ) as well as the deviations of the speed of sound (Δu) were obtained. The results are interpreted in terms of molecular interactions occurring in the solutions. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction

2. Experimental

We have previously reported the density [1] and viscosity [2] of {2-ethoxyethanol (EE) + ethylene glycol (EG), 2-ethoxyethanol + diethylene glycol (DEG), 2-ethoxyethanol + triethylene glycol (TEG), and 2-ethoxyethanol + tetraethylene glycol (TETRAEG)} binary mixtures at 298.15 K. In a continuing effort to collect other physicochemical and thermodynamic quantities for studied mixtures we present in this paper measured values of the speeds of sound at T = 298.15 K, and atmospheric pressure. In order to throw more light on interaction of 2-ethoxyethanol with ethylene glycol and its oligomers, we have undertaken a detailed study of excesses isentropic compressibility (κ Es ), free volume (V Ef ), and intermolecular free length (LEf ) as well as the deviation of the speeds of sound (Δu). These structural parameters are very sensitive to interactions between solute and solvent. The studied solvents have found a wide variety of applications in the petroleum, cosmetics, textile, pharmaceutical, and the other industries [3–5]. Therefore, the study of intermolecular interactions in 2-ethoxyethanol + ethylene glycol mixtures would be interesting owing to their industrial applications.

2.1. Materials The pure components were supplied by Sigma-Aldrich and Fluka. The chemicals, viz., 2-ethoxyethanol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol and tetraethylene glycol, used in the study were purified by using the methods described in the literature [1,2,6]. The mass fraction purities as determined by gas chromatography are: 2-butoxyethanol > 0.998, ethylene glycol > 0.994, diethylene glycol > 0.996, triethylene glycol > 0.996, and tetraethylene glycol > 0.998. The mixtures were prepared using a Sartorius balance. Conversion to molar quantities was based on the relative atomic mass table of 1985, issued by IUPAC in 1986. The maximum estimated error in the mole fractions is ±1 · 10− 4. Liquids were stored in dry-box over phosphorus pentoxide and degassed by ultrasound just before the experiment. Experimental speeds of sound for the pure solvents, at T = 298.15 K, are compared with values available in the literature and listed in Table 1.

The speed of sound was measured by resonance method using the ResoScan™ System (Germany) apparatus. The speed of sound is determined from series of resonance frequencies of the resonator calls

and also from waviness due to multiple reflections in the signal transmitted through the path length cell [13]. The operating frequency of the transducers was 8.3 MHz. The relative error of the measured speed of sound was lower than 1 ∙ 10− 5 over the entire range of concentration. The temperature of the samples was controlled to within ±0.005 K by Peltier thermostat and it was measured to accuracy of ±0.01 K. 3. Results and discussion The experimental speeds of sound (u) obtained from the measurements of the pure solvents and for the binary mixtures, at T = 298.15 K, are summarized in Table 2. The variations of speeds of sound as a function of volume fraction of EE (φ1) were fitted to a polynomial of type [14,15]: uðφ1 Þ =

by the method of least-squares with each point weighted equally. The values of coefficients αj and standard deviations σ(u) are summarized in Table 3.

The literature review shows, that the deviations of analyzed function provide experimental evidence for the formation of intermolecular complexes, and provide a valuable aid for determining their stoichiometry and relative stability [16–18]. In general, negative κ Es and Δu values indicate the presence of strong intermolecular bonding between the components in the binary mixtures [7–12,16–21]. Ethoxyethanols and the oligomers of ethylene glycol are a very interesting class of solvents, due to the presence of the oxy and hydroxyl groups in the same molecule, which allow self-association via intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The formation of intramolecular hydrogen bonds in ethoxyethanols is more favourable when the molecules of these solvents are in the gauche conformations. For these molecules 5-, 6-, 7- and 8-membered rings, of quite different properties, are formed [22–29]. In our opinion, in the case of the present binary mixtures at least four different effects can be identified which contribute to Δu and κ Es values: (1) the breaking of homogeneous liquid order on mixing; (2) favorable interactions between polar groups (OH and O) of unlike molecules; (3) unfavorable hydrophobic interactions between OH groups of ethylene glycols and CH2 groups of alkyl chains of EE molecules and (4) geometrical fitting of one component into the other due to differences in the molar volumes and free volume between unlike molecules. This last effect should be significant and of great importance for (EE + TETRAEG) binary mixtures. The presented behaviors of κ Es and Δu are consistent with that of excess molar volume (V E) for {2-ethoxyethanol (EE) + ethylene glycol (EG), 2-ethoxyethanol + diethylene glycol (DEG), 2-ethoxyethanol + triethylene glycol (TEG), and 2-ethoxyethanol + tetraethylene glycol (TETRAEG)} binary mixtures [1]. The values of V E are negative over the entire composition range for all studied mixtures and decrease from EG to TETRAEG. The EE + TETRAEG mixture corresponds to the densest and most packed mixed solvent. Taking into account the literature information concerning the basicity (SB) and acidity (SA) of pure EE and ethylene glycols it seems necessary to assume that the OH group of glycol is the proton donor and the oxygen atom of ether from the molecule of EE is its acceptor [30–33]. Fig. 3 shows that the excess free volume (V Ef ) in the studied binary mixtures becomes more negative when κ Es and Δu decrease. The plot of this function indicates that the excess free volume created in the mixture is not available for the compression. This means that interstitial accommodation plays an important role by influencing the κ Es and Δu of the liquid mixtures containing EE with ethylene glycols. It also indicates that the molecular size and shape of the components are equally important factors in these mixtures. The course of changes LEf also confirms these conclusions (see Fig. 4), because LEf is generally more negative when the structure has high rigidity and it corresponds to the densest and most packed mixed solvent.

4. Conclusions In this paper, the speeds of sound were measured at T = 298.15 K over the entire range of composition for binary mixtures of 2ethoxyethanol with ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol and tetraethylene glycol. Various calculated excess properties and deviations (κEs , VEf , LEf and Δu) support that there may be intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the components of studied binary solvents and that the interstitial accommodation also plays an important role in these mixtures.
