Excess molar volume and excess viscosity of benzyl alcohol plus 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone and water plus 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone binary systems at 298.15 K

Densities, viscosities and refractive indices have been measured at 298.15 K for water + 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone and benzyl alcohol + 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone binary mixtures over the whole concentration range. From experimental densities and viscosities, excess molar volumes and excess viscosities, respectively have been calculated. These results are fitted with a Redlich-Kister polynomial relation and their coefficients were estimated. The experimental and calculate excess quantities are used to discuss the mixing behaviour of the components.
