Abstract:

The density and viscosity of aqueous solutions of an ionic liquid (IL) based on alanine, [C2mim] [Ala], with various molalities were measured in the temperature range of T=288.15-328.15 K with intervals of 5 K. From the Jones-Dole equation, a viscosity B-coefficient with a large positive value and dB/dT < 0 were obtained. According to Feakins, the contribution of the solute to the activation free energy for viscous flow of the solution, Δμ2≠0, was obtained. The relationship between Δμ2≠0 and temperature was linear, allowing the standard molar activation entropy, ΔS2≠0, and enthalpy, ΔH2≠0, to be obtained. On the basis of Eyring's theory, a new semi-empirical method to estimate the viscosity of aqueous[C2mim] [Ala] was proposed. The values estimated using this method agreed well with the corresponding experimental ones.
