Popis: Tracer diffusion coefficients of 65 Zn 2+ in mixtures of isobutyric acid water and 10 -4 M ZnCl 2 have been measured over the composition range 0 < X < 95% in acid ; at θ 1 = T 1 - T c = 0.547 K and θ 2 = T 2 - T c = 7.547 K using the open-ended capillary method. The critical temperature was found to be : T c = 27.453 ° C. An important anomaly was detected in the neighbourhood of the critical point X c = 0.38, X being the weight percentage of the acid. The concentration dependence as the shear viscosity coefficients were evaluated at each X value for the same temperatures. The results are discussed in terms of Einstein-Stokes law. Our analysis suggests three different behaviours of the diffusing entity in the mixtures and it is based on the preferential solvation phenomenon.
