Abstract: Experimental determination of ultrasonic velocities and fluid densities across varied temperature states yields critical baseline data needed to map hydrogen bond associations and molecular packing dynamics in multi-component chemical systems. This paper presents the measurement of ultrasonic velocity (u), density (rho), and dynamic viscosity (eta) for binary liquid mixtures of n-butanol with methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, and propyl acetate across the entire composition matrix at temperatures of 298.15 K, 308.15 K, and 318.15 K under atmospheric pressure. From these raw data metrics, excess molar volumes (V^E) and excess isentropic compressibilities (kappa_s^E) were calculated. The calculated excess datasets were successfully fitted to the Redlich-Kister polynomial expression to compute the binary interaction coefficients and standard standard deviations. All investigated binary mixtures exhibited significant negative excess molar volumes (V^E) and negative excess isentropic compressibilities (kappa_s^E) across all composition bounds. These strong negative deviations reveal dense interstitial molecular packing and strong intermolecular hydrogen bond formation between the hydroxyl protons of n-butanol and the ester carbonyl centers, which decrease in intensity as thermal motion breaks the dipole networks.
