Determination of Densities of Amino Compounds for Molar Volumes in Aqueous Solutions with Magnetic Float Densimeter at Various Temperatures

Abstract

Densities (r) of urea (H NCONH ), methylurea (H C-HNCONH ), melamine (C N H ) in aqueous, alongwith

the accuracy value of 1x10-3 kg m-3. The data were used to calculate apparent molar volumes (Vf ) that are compared with the values obtained with Anton Paar densimeter DMA 60/601 model. The values of the r and Vf parameters were regressed and extrapolated to zero concentration (m = 0), for their limiting densities (ro) and limiting molar volumes (V o) alongwith their respective slope values. The values of the ro and V  oconstants elucidated the heteromolecular interactions of  -NH
