Abstract
Densities and ultrasound velocities for the binary mixtures of 1-bromobutane+benzene and 1,4-dimethylbenzene and of 1-bromopentane+cyclohexane and benzene have been measured at 308.15 K. Adiabatic compressibilities (beta(ad)), and Wada's constants (W) have also been evaluated as a function of composition. The ultrasound velocities decrease, attains a minimum and then increase with increase in mole fractions of hydrocarbons in the binary mixtures except in the case of 1-bromopentane+benzene binary mixtures where the variation is just the reverse. Dependence of adiabatic compressibilities with mole fractions of hydrocarbons is sigmoid. The non-ideal behaviour of the systems studied is explained on the basis of dipole-induced dipole interactions.
