Apparent Molar Volumes and Expansivities of Ionic Liquids Based on N-Alkyl-N-methylmorpholinium Cations in Acetonitrile

Densities of some acetonitrile solutions of ionic liquids based on N-alkyl-N-methyl-morpholinium cations, N-ethyl-N-methylmorpholinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, N-butyl-N-methylmorpholinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, N-methyl-N-octylmorpholinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide and N-decyl-N-methylmorpholinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide were measured at T = (298.15–318.15) K and at atmospheric pressure. From density data the apparent molar volumes and partial molar volumes of the ILs at infinite dilution as well as the limiting apparent molar expansibilities and the Hepler's constant values have been evaluated. The results have been discussed in terms of the effect that alkyl chain length of the ILs and experimental temperature have on the ionic liquid–acetonitrile interactions occurring in the studied solutions.
