ABSTRACT
The ultrasonic measurements like ultrasonic velocity, density, and viscosity of the ternary system butanol with
methyl benzoate in benzene systems have been measured the whole range of mole fraction at 303K. From the
measured values evaluate ultrasonic parameter such as adiabatic compressibility (β), free length (L
f
), free volume
(V
f
) using standard relations also predict the excess parameter. The ultrasonic measurements, acoustical parameter
and related excess parameter give the results of the molecular interaction between liquids. These values indicate
the specific interaction of the liquid mixtures. The presence of strong dipole- dipole- type interaction was confirmed
in theses system.

INTRODUCTION
The ultrasonic studies are important to understand the nature molecular interactions exist in liquid mixtures [1-3].
The molecular interactions of the liquids and liquid mixtures has been investigated through the ultrasonic
measurements and related acoustical parameter. Ultrasonic velocity is related to inter molecular forces between the
atoms or the molecules [3-5]. The study of molecular interaction of butanol with methyl benzoate in benzene
mixtures has been important due to butanol as one of the components. A methyl benzoate highly polar liquid seems
to be better among the industrial and chemical process [5-6]. The association of methyl benzoate investigated using
various methods [6-10]. Our research group investigated nature of interactions are identified using various
techniques including refractive index, FT-IR, dielectric measurements [11-16]. Benzene is a non-polar being
aromatic and methyl benzoate also aromatic with carbonyl group act as electron donors. Though the carbonyl group
is comparatively a strong proton - acceptor, the oxygen atoms in the carbonyl group can also play the important role
for proton acceptor; hence butanol with its hydroxyl groups can interact with carbonyl components. The present
work reports the results of ultrasonic measurements and related ultrasonic parameters at 303K in the ternary system
of butanol + methyl benzoate +benzene.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
AR grade butanol , methyl benzoate and benzene liquids were used. It is purified by standard procedure
with purity
>99%. The ultrasonic velocities of the liquid mixtures were measured using a single crystal ultrasonic
interferometer (Mittal type, Model F-80) operated at 2 MHz The temperature of the cell was controlled by
circulating water through the liquid cell from thermostatically controlled constant temperature water bath. The
densities of pure liquids and liquid mixtures were measured by using a 5 ml specific gravity bottle with an accuracy
of ± 0.5%. The viscosities were measured using Ostwald’s viscometer with an accuracy ± 0.5%. The measured
valued of ultrasonic velocity, density and viscosity and related ultrasonic parameter at 303 K for the pure liquids
are shown in table 1.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Ultrasonic velocity (u), density () and viscosity () for the binary (Butanol with benzene) and ternary (Butanol with
methyl benzoate in benzene) mixtures at 301 K are shown in table 2 to 3 also present ultrasonic parameter like
adiabatic compressibility (β), intermolecular free length (L

) . The
variations of ultrasonic velocity, adiabatic compressibility, inter molecular free length and free volume with mole
fractions of butanol for the binary and ternary mixtures shown in figure 1 to 4. The excess parameters like ultrasonic
velocity, adiabatic compressibility, inter molecular free length and free volume plotted against mole fraction butanol
given in figure 5 to 8.
In the case of binary (butanol with benzene) mixtures ultrasonic velocity and density decreases with increasing
concentration of butanol also ultrasonic velocity and density decreases with increasing concentration of butanol for
the ternary mixtures (butanol + methyl benzoate + benzene). Reverse trend observed in the variation of viscosity
with the concentration of butanol both binary and ternary mixtures.
Further the adiabatic compressibility, free length shows reverse trend both the binary and ternary mixtures to the
ultrasonic velocity as shown in figures 1 to 3. The variation of adiabatic compressibility due to change in ultrasonic
velocity also interacting molecules bond broken due to the releasing dipoles of inter molecular interactions. In view
of strong force of attraction between the molecules there will be an increase in cohesive force and the phenomenon

of structural changes takes place due to the existence of electrostatic field. Thus structural rearrangement of
molecules results in change adiabatic compressibility thereby performance increasingly intermolecular interactions.
Many researchers report the similar results in some binary and liquid mixtures [7].

for the butanol with benzene , butanol with methyl benzoate in benzene systems.
From tables 2, it was observed that as the concentration of butanol increases, free volume decreases due to the
closed packing of molecules inside the cavity. These behaviors indicate highly associative nature between the
components of liquid mixture. The magnitude of the ultrasonic parameter indicate solute – solvent interaction
(butanol – benzene) smaller than the dipole – dipole (butanol – methyl benzoate). But it is essential to discuss about
the excess parameters rather than the real values. They can give an idea about the nature of association or other type
of interactions. The variations of excess parameters versus mole fraction of butanol have been shown in figure 5 to
8. The sign of u

indicate weaker type (dipole- induced dipole ) f interactions occurs in the binary
mixtures and strong type (dipole – dipole) interactions occurs in the ternary mixtures. Many investigations
suggested that the negative excess compressibility has been due to closed packed molecules and positive excess
values are due to weak interaction between the unlike molecules. Similar reports were reported by many authors
[14].

The value of excess inter molecular free length follows the same trend as that of excess adiabatic compressibility.
The value of excess inter molecular free length are negative. The negative deviations of excess free volume have
been suggested strong interaction between components confirmed.
CONCLUSION
The present report indicates that the ultrasonic parameters understand to the molecular interaction present in liquid
mixtures. From Ultrasonic velocity and related acoustical parameters for binary (butanol in benzene) and ternary
(butanol with methyl benzoate in benzene) mixtures by the various concentrations, it is expert that there exists a
weak interaction due to dipole – induced dipole between the binary components and strong association between the
ternary components due to hydrogen bonding.
