Evaluation of Thermodynamic and Optical Properties of Sixteen Ionic Liquids at Different Temperature

Based on the dimensional analysis ρ-u- thermodynamic and ρ-u- optical properties correlations have been applied to sixteen ionic liquids at different temperatures. The objective of the present work is to employ these relations to ionic liquids. The experimental values of ρ and u have been reported in the literature at different temperatures. We have computed thermal expansivity (α), isothermal compressibility (βT), heat capacities ratio (γ), internal pressure (Pint), pseudo-Grüneisen parameter (Г), energy of vaporization (ΔEV), enthalpy of vaporization (ΔHV), cohesive energy density (ced), solubility parameter (δ), refractive index (n), molar refraction (RM) and polarisability (αp) for these liquids. Results are found to quite satisfactory. Keeping in view of uncertainty in the experimental values of ρ and u, as well as some approximations used, the agreement between experimental and theoretical values is found to be quite satisfactory. The results are discussed critically. Introduction: In the present work, we are applying the ρ-u thermodynamic and ρ-u- optical properties correlations to sixteen ionic liquids to estimate thermodynamic and optical properties at different temperature. The experimental values of ρ and u have been reported in the literature at different temperatures. We have computed α, βT, γ, Pint, Г, ΔEV, ΔHV, ced, δ, n, RM and αp for these liquids. Method: Correlations between density-sound velocity and several thermodynamic properties have been derived on the basis of dimensional analysis On the basis of dimensional analysis, a number of useful and important thermodynamic relations were deduced in terms of density (ρ) and speed of sound (u). Result: Results are found to quite satisfactory. Keeping in view of uncertainty in the experimental values of ρ and u, as well as some approximations used, the agreement between experimental and theoretical values is found to be quite satisfactory. Discussion: Density (ρ) and ultrasonic speed (u) data of sixteen RTILs at different temperatures have been taken from the literature. Calculated values of α, βT, Pint, γ, CP-CV, and, Г obtained from empirical relations. The experimental values of α are given for making a comparative study. Conclusion: Based on the dimensional analysis our recently developed correlations between ρ-u- thermodynamic and ρ-uoptical properties have been found to be quite successful when applied to sixteen ionic liquids for the first time. α, βT, γ, Pint, ΔEVap, ΔHVap, ced, δ as well as RM and αp were calculated at various temperatures.
