Molar excess volumes,
VE, molar excess enthalpies,
HE, and speeds of sound data, u, of chloroform (
i) + aniline or
o-toluidine (
j) binary mixtures have been measured as a function of composition at 308.15 K. Isentropic compressibility changes of mixing,
have been determined by employing speed of sound data. Topological investigations of
VE data reveals that aniline, chloroform and
o-toluidine are associated entities and these (
i +
j) mixtures contain a 1:1 molecular complex. The IR studies lend further support to the nature and extent of interaction for the proposed molecular entity in the mixtures.
HE and
values have also been calculated by employing Moelwyn-Huggins concept [Polymer 12 (1971) 387] taking topology of the constituents of the mixtures. It has been observed that calculated
HE and
values compare well with their corresponding experimental values. The observed
VE,
HE and
data have also been analyzed in terms of Flory theory.
