The values of density and viscosity for aqueous solution of ionic liquid (IL) based on alanine [C(6)mim][Ala] with various molalities were measured at T = (288.15-328.15) K with interval 5 K. The activation energy, E-eta, for viscous flow of the solution was calculated. In terms of Jones-Dole equation, the viscosity B-coefficients with large positive value and dB/dT < 0 were obtained and these facts implied that the ionic liquid is water-structure-making. According to Feakins, the contribution of the solute per mole to the free energy of activation for viscous flow of the solution, Delta mu(dagger 0), or was called as the standard molar activation free energy, was obtained at T = (288.15-328.15) K. The relationship between Delta mu(dagger 0)(2) and the temperature is linear, so that the standard molar activation entropy Delta S-2(dagger 0) and enthalpy, Delta H-2(dagger 0), were obtained. Under the constant molality of solution, Delta H-2(dagger 0) is a temperature-independent constant. It implies the activation process of the solute for viscous flow of aqueous [C(6)mim][Ala] is an isocoulombic reaction. On the basis of Eyring's theory, a semi-empirical method to estimate the viscosity of aqueous [C(6)mim][Ala] was put forward and the estimated viscosity values of aqueous [C(6)mim][Ala] are in good agreement with the corresponding experimental ones.
