Abstract
Solution properties of aqueous mixtures of isomeric butanediols have been investigated employing viscosity, surface tension, and index of refraction measurements as functions of temperature. The deviation of viscosity, surface tension, and molar refraction from ideal solution behavior is evaluated from the experimental data. The deviation from ideality is discussed in terms of molecular interactions between the components. Surface activity of the diols is evident from the surface tension measurements. It is found that the degree of hydrophobicity of the diols varies in the order 1,2 > 2,3 > 1,3 > 1,4. The strength of interaction of diols with the water varies in the order 2,3 > 1,4 ≃ 1,3 > 1,2.
