Investigation of solutions of ethyl alcohol and the deep eutectic solvent of Reline for their volumetric properties
In this study, the deep eutectic solvent of choline chloride/urea, also known as Reline, was synthesized. Mixtures of Reline with ethanol were prepared covering the entire concentration range, and their densities were determined experimentally. Together with pure Reline and pure ethanol, this made a total of eleven systems, whose densities were measured over the temperature range of 293.15-333.15 K at pressure of 100 kPa. The volumetric properties of interest in the calculation of other derivative thermodynamic properties were determined for all of the investigated mixtures and temperatures. This included the correlation of density to temperature, as well as the excess molar volumes, partial molar volumes, partial molar volumes at infinite dilution, excess partial molar volumes, excess partial molar volumes at infinite dilution, and isobaric volume expansions. The excess molar volumes had negative values at all concentrations and temperatures. This led us to propose a possible molecular arrangement of the hydrogen bond network, placing Reline mainly in central positions, with the preference to be surrounded by ethanol molecules.
