Abstract

The densities and the ultrasonic speeds of the aqueous solutions of 2-(2-hexyloxyethoxy)ethanol (C6E2) were measured over the entire range of mole fractions at 5°C. Excess molar volumes VE were readily calculated from the densities. The densities, in combination with the ultrasonic speeds, furnish estimates of the molar (and excess molar) isentropic compressibilities K S and the deviations uD of the ultrasonic speeds from the values calculated for ideal mixtures. Radical changes in the mole fraction derivatives of the excess molar properties of the (C6E2 + water) system, in the vicinity of an amphiphile mole fraction of 0.003, indicate that C6E2 like C6E3 is capable of micelle formation. Our data have been compared with those reported earlier for (C4E2 +, C2E2 +, and C6E3 + water). We have employed both mass action and pseudophase approaches to data analysis, together with the four-segment model approach.
