Abstract

Density and viscosity measurements have been performed for the systems 1-iodonaphthalene + heptane, or + decane, or + dodecane, or + tetradecane over the temperature range (288.15-308.15) K and atmospheric pressure. At this end, a densitometer Anton-Paar DMA 602 and a Ubbelohde viscosimeter were used. Excess molar volumes are large and negative and decrease when the temperature is increased, which reveals that the main contribution to the excess molar volume arises from structural effects. The values of the deviations of dynamic viscosity from linear dependence on mole fraction are also large and negative, indicating that n-alkanes are good breakers of the interactions between 1-iodonaphthalene molecules. Different models were applied for describing viscosity data. McAllister's equation correlates well with kinematic viscosities. Results are similar when dynamic viscosities are correlated with the Grunberg-Nissan or Fang-He equations. This means that size effects are not relevant to the mentioned data. The adjustable parameter of the Grunberg-Nissan equation is negative for all the systems at any temperature, a typical feature of systems where dispersive interactions are dominant. This is in agreement with findings obtained in previous studies on similar n-alkane mixtures involving C$_6$H$_5$X (X = Cl, Br, I) or 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene or 1-chloronaphthalene. Free volume effects have little influence on the present dynamic viscosity results, well represented by the absolute rate model using residual molar Gibbs energies obtained from the DISQUAC model.
