In this paper, excess thermodynamic functions have been computed from the measured values of density, viscosity, and refractive index at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K, ultrasonic velocity at T = 298.15 K over the entire mixture composition range of (anisole with ethanol, propan-1-ol, propan-2-ol, butan-1-ol, pentan-1-ol, or 3-methyl butan-1-ol). Excess molar volume, V-E has been calculated from densities, whereas deviations in viscosity, Delta(eta), were computed from the measured viscosities. From ultrasonic velocities, isentropic compressibilities were calculated, from which deviations in isentropic compressibility, Delta k(s) have been computed. Lorenz Lorentz mixture rule was used to compute molar refractivity, R from refractivity index data and from these data, deviations in molar refractivity, Delta(R) have been computed. Computed thermodynamic quantities have been fitted to Redlich and Kister polynomial equation to derive the coefficients and standard errors between experimental and predicted quantities. Intermolecular interactions between anisole and alkanols have been studied based on the computed excess thermodynamic quantities. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
