Prediction of ternary excess enthalpy data by the UNIFAC Group Contribution method

The UNIFAC Group Contribution method is applied to predict ternary excess enthalpies H ^E . In order to improve previous predictions, values for the group interaction parameters are determined from binary excess enthalpy data. These parameters are used to estimate sixty-four sets of ternary H ^E data which are compared with data from the literature. Results are also compared with those obtained using methods to predict ternary excess enthalpies from the binary H ^E data for the three binary system involved.Communicated at the Festsymposium celebrating Dr. Henry V. Kehiaian's 60^th birthday, Clermont-Ferrand, France, 17–18 May 1990.     

Excess enthalpies for n-alkane/ -carotene+n-alkane/AOT/water systems

The experimental data of excess enthalpies for β-carotene/n-alkane+n-alkane/AOT/water systems at 298.15 K are reported. The H_E dependence on AOT (sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate) concentration and hydrocarbon chain length was investigated. The excess enthalpy was measured using the flow microcalorimeter UNIPAN type 600.     

Thermochemical properties of RE (Gly)4 Im (ClO4) 3 2H2O (RE = La,Pr, Nd,Sm, Eu)

The enthalpies of solution in water for five new light rare earth ternary complexes RE(Gly)₄Im(ClO₄)₃ 2H₂O (RE = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu; Gly‐glycine; Im‐imidazole) were measured by means of a Calvet microcalorimeter. The empirical formula of enthalpy of solution (Δ_solH), relative apparent molar enthalpy (πL_i), relative partial molar enthalpy (L_i) and enthalpy of dilution (Δ_dllH_1,2) were drawn up by the data of enthalpies of solution of these complexes. From three plots of the values of standard enthalpy of solution Δ_sol H?, πL_i, L_i) versus the values of ionic radius (r) of the light rare earth elements, the grouping effect of lanthanide was observed, showing that the coordination bond between rare earth ion and ligand possesses a certain extent of the property of a covalent bond. The standard enthalpies of solution in water of similar complexes, Ce(Gly)₄Im(ClO₄)₃.2H₂O were estimated according to the plot of Δ_solH?, versus r.     

Enthalpie De Formation Et De Melange De Phosphoapatites Calco-Cadmiees Chlorees

Calcium–cadmium chlorapatites solid solutions with the general formula Ca_10–xCd_x(PO₄)₆Cl₂,1≤x≤10, were prepared by solid state reaction and characterized by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and chemical analysis. Using an isoperibol calorimeter, their enthalpies of solution in 9 mass% nitric acid were measured. In order to determine the enthalpies of formation and enthalpies of mixing, thermochemical cycles were proposed and complementary experiences were performed. The results obtained show a decrease of the enthalpy of formation with the amount of cadmium introduced in the lattice. The variation of mixing enthalpy vs. x=Cd/(Cd+Ca) shows a maximum at about x=0,4. This could be explained by the existence of two cationic sites in the phosphoapatite structure.

The sublimation enthalpy of dimethyl oxalate

The sublimation enthalpy of dimethyl oxalate has been measured by calorimetric and head space analysis. These results along with vaporization enthalpy measured by correlation gas chromatography and fusion enthalpy measurements are compared to results predicted by two estimation techniques. A previous experimental measurement was found to be in error. A mean value of (75.2±0.5) kJ/mol was obtained which results in a corrected molar value of (–681.5±0.8) kJ/mol for the enthalpy of formation of gaseous dimethyl oxalate, _f H _m ^o (g, 298.15 K). This new value of _f H _m ^o (g, 298.15 K) for dimethyl oxalate, in combination with other enthalpies of formation, suggests that the ground state of oxalates are destabilized relative to -diketones by approximately 25 kJ/mol.     

Study on the thermodynamic properties of cholesterol

The standard molar enthalpy of combustion of cholesterol was measured at constant volume. According to value of Δ_r U _m^θ(−14358.4±20.65 kJ mol⁻¹), Δ_r H _m^θ(−14385.7 kJ mol⁻¹) of combustion reaction and Δ_f H _m^θ(2812.9 kJ mol⁻¹) of cholesterol were obtained from the reaction equation. The enthalpy of combustion reaction of cholesterol was also estimated by the average bond enthalpies. By design of a thermo-chemical recycle, the enthalpy of combustion of cholesterol were calculated between 283.15∼373.15 K. Besides, molar enthalpy and entropy of fusion of cholesterol was obtained by DSC technique.     

Thermochemistry of molecular complexes. 5. Molecular complexes of I2 with ethylbenzenes andn-alkylbenzenes

The enthalpies of formation and equilibrium constants are reported for molecular complexes of I₂ with five ethylbenzene and ninen-alkylbenzene donor molecules in CCl₄. The wavelength of maximum absorbance for each complex is also reported. For ethylbenzene donor molecules, the formation enthalpy and equilibrium constant for the complexes depend strongly on the number of ethyl groups attached to the benzene ring, but only weakly on the position of the groups. For then-alkylbenzene donor molecules, both the formation enthalpy and equilibrium constant for complex formation are indenpendent of the length of the alkyl chain. These results are consistent with previous observations on weak complexes of I₂ with substituted benzene donors.     

Excess enthalpies of binary solvent mixtures of N,N-dimethylacetamide with aliphatic alcohols

The excess enthalpies H _m ^E of binary solvent mixtures of N,N-dimethylacetamide with methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, and t-butanol have been measured with a flow microcalorimeter at 40°C. The excess enthalpies increase as the length of the alkyl chain of the primary alcohol increases. The values for methanol are negative, those for ethanol change sign, and those for 1-propanol, and more clearly those for 1-butanol, are positive. The mixtures of the secondary and the tertiary alcohol exhibit mainly positive values of H _m ^E . Solute-solute and solute-solvent interactions in these mixtures are discussed on the basis of the results.     

Thermochemical parameters of dimethyl and di-iso-propyl dithiocarbamate complexes of palladium(II)

The standard molar enthalpy of formation of crystalline dialkyldithiocarbamate chelates, [Pd(S₂CNR₂)₂], with R=CH₃ and i-C₃H₇, was determined through reaction-solution calorimetry in 1,2-dichloroethane, at 298 K. Using the standard molar enthalpies of formation of the gaseous chelates, the homolytic (526±18 and 666±10) and heterolytic (2693±18 and 2957±10 kJ mol^-1) mean enthalpies of palladium-sulphur bond dissociation were calculated.

Equation of State for Adsorption of Gases and Their Mixtures in Porous Materials

Desorption functions (G, H, S) are useful for adsorbent characterization, phase equilibria, and enthalpy and entropy balances. Adsorption isotherms, enthalpy, and entropy are temperature and pressure derivatives of the free energy, so that G(T, P) is an adsorption equation-of-state which contains complete thermodynamic information about the system. The free energy of desorption is the minimum isothermal work necessary to regenerate the adsorbent. The free energy of desorption also determines the selectivity of an adsorbent for different gases. The ideal enthalpy of desorption for a mixture (H = _i n _i h° _i ) is a simple function of the enthalpies of desorption for the individual components. Sample calculations of the free energy, enthalpy, and entropy desorption functions are provided for pure components and mixtures.     

Enthalpies of Dilution of D-p-Hydroxyphenylglycine in Buffer Solutions at Different pH

The effect of pH on the dilution enthalpies of D-p-hydroxyphenylglycine in phosphate buffer solutions has been investigated by isothermal titration microcalorimetry at 298.15 K. The corresponding homogeneous enthalpic interaction coefficients have been calculated according to the excess enthalpy concept. The results show that the enthalpies of dilution of D-p-hydroxyphenylglycine in phosphate buffer solutions at different pH are all positive. The overall trend is that enthalpies of dilution become more positive with an increase of pH, but there is a minimum of the enthalpy of dilution at pH = 7.0. The enthalpic pair interaction coefficients, h ₂, all have negative values. The results are interpreted from the point of view of solute-solute and solute-solvent interactions involved in the solvent effects.     

Crystal growth and thermodynamic properties of lithium tungstate doped by 4% molybdenum

For the first time, single crystal of Li₂W_0.96Mo_0.04O₄ has been grown by low-temperature-gradient Czochralski technique. The thermodynamic characteristics (standard formation enthalpy and lattice enthalpy) that are necessary to improve the growth technology have been studied by solution calorimetry. For Li₂W_1–xMo_xO₄ single crystals, correlations of lattice enthalpies and standard formation enthalpies with tolerance factor were found.     

Excess enthalpies of binary solvent mixtures of N-methylacetamide with aliphatic alcohols

The molar excess enthalpies H _m ^E of binary solvent mixtures of N-methylacetamide with methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, and t-butanol have been measured with a flow microcalorimeter at 40°C. The excess enthalpies are negative for methanol and positive for the other alcohols over the whole composition range, except for t-butanol which exhibits a sigmoid curve with a deep minimum at low mole fractions of the amide. The values for the primary alcohols increase in the order methanol < ethanol < 1-propanol < 1-butanol. The partial molar excess enthalpies have also been evaluated. Intermolecular interactions in these mixtures are discussed through comparison of the results with those for the corresponding binary mixtures of N,N-dimethylacetamide.     

Standard enthalpy of formation of lanthanum oxybritholites

Lanthanum-bearing silicate-oxyapatites or britholites, Ca_10–xLax(PO₄)_6–x(SiO₄)_xO with 1≤x≤6, have been synthesized by solid state reaction at high temperature. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy. Using two microcalorimeters, the heat of solution of these compounds have been measured at 298 K in a solution of nitric and hydrofluoric acid. A strained least squares method was applied to the experimental results to obtain the solution enthalpies at infinite dilution, and the mixing enthalpy in two steps. In the first step the mixing enthalpy obtained is referenced to the britholite monosubstituted and to the oxysilicate. The mixing enthalpy referenced to the oxyapatite and to the oxysilicate is then extrapolated. In order to determine the enthalpies of formation of all the terms of the solution, thermochemical cycles were proposed and complementary experiments were performed. The results obtained show a decrease of the enthalpy of formation with the amount of Si and La introduced in the lattice. This was explained by the difference in the bond energies of (Ca–O, P–O) and (La–O, Si–O).     

Thermochemistry of amineborane adduct formation of pyridine and picoline isomers

The enthalpy of reaction of pyridine, 2-, 3-, and 4-picoline with BH₃·THF and the enthalpy of solution of the same amines in THF were determined by reaction-solution calorimetry. From these data, the enthalpies of formation of the corresponding amineborane adducts in solution of THF were also determined. The results can be explained by considering the steric and inductive effects of the methyl group on the pyridine ring and the basicity of amines. The enthalpy of formation of the adducts in solution of THF correlates well with the available literature values of pK _a of amines also determined in THF, and the influence of the solvent on the basicity features of studied amines is verified.     

Enthalpy characteristics of dilute solutions of acetonitrile

The enthalpies of mixing of acetonitrile with formamide,N-methylformamide,N,N-dimethylformamide, and hexamethylphosphoric triamide were measured in the temperature interval from 283.15 to 328.15 K. The enthalpy coefficients of binary and ternary interactions were calculated by the methods of the McMillan-Mayer theory. The contributions to the enthalpy of solution due to the formation of a cavity in the solvent, Δ_cav H°, and those due to the interaction of the solute with the solvent, Δ_int H°, were determined. The enthalpies of the specific and non-specific solvation of acetonitrile in the corresponding amides were calculated. Specific interactions were found to contribute the most to the solvation enthalpy of acetonitrile. The obtained values were compared with analogous values for solutions of acetonitrile in water and alcohols. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The structure and thermochemistry of 3:4,5:6-dibenzo-2-hydroxymethylene-cyclohepta-3,5-dienenone (1) and some related compounds

Condensed and gas phase enthalpies of formation of 3:4,5:6-dibenzo-2-hydroxymethylene-cyclohepta-3,5-dienenone (1, (−199.1 ± 16.4), (−70.5 ± 20.5) kJ mol⁻¹, respectively) and 3,4,6,7-dibenzobicyclo[3.2.1]nona-3,6-dien-2-one (2, (−79.7 ± 22.9), (20.1 ± 23.1) kJ mol⁻¹) are reported. Sublimation enthalpies at T=298.15 K for these compounds were evaluated by combining the fusion enthalpies at T = 298.15 K (1, (12.5 ± 1.8); 2, (5.3 ± 1.7) kJ mol⁻¹) adjusted from DSC measurements at the melting temperature (1, (T _fus, 357.7 K, 16.9 ± 1.3 kJ mol⁻¹)); 2, (T _fus, 383.3 K, 10.9 ± 0.1) kJ mol⁻¹) with the vaporization enthalpies at T = 298.15 K (1, (116.1 ± 12.1); 2, (94.5 ± 2.2) kJ mol⁻¹) measured by correlation-gas chromatography. The vaporization enthalpies of benzoin ((98.5 ± 12.5) kJ mol⁻¹) and 7-heptadecanone ((94.5 ± 1.8) kJ mol⁻¹) at T = 298.15 K and the fusion enthalpy of phenyl salicylate (T _fus, 312.7 K, 18.4 ± 0.5) kJ mol⁻¹) were also determined for the correlations. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by X-ray crystallography. Compound 1 exists entirely in the enol form and resembles the crystal structure found for benzoylacetone.     

Thermochemistry of aqueous solutions of alkylated nucleic acid bases. IX. Enthalpies of hydration of 9-methyl-8-alkyladenines and 6,9-dimethyl-8-alkyladenines

Enthalpies of solution in water, H _sol ^o , and enthalpies of sublimation, H _sub ^o , were determined experimentally for a number of crystalline derivatives of adenine: 6,8,9-trimethyladenine; 6,9-dimethyl-8-ethyladenine; 6,9-dimethyl-8-propyladenine; 6,9-dimethyl-8-butyladenine; 8,9-dimethyl-adenine and 9-methyl-8-ethyladenine. Standard enthalpies of hydration, H _hydr ^o , derived from these data were calculated. The latter were discussed together with the values for variously alkylated adenines, determined previously. The data obtained show that the dependence of enthalpy of hydration on the number of methylene groups added upon substitution with 8-n-alkyl groups of 9-methyladenine and 6,9-dimethyladenine is nonlinear.     

Calorimetric study of binary systems of tetraethyleneglycol octylether and polyethyleneglycol with water

Calorimetric measurements have been made of the differential enthalpies of solution as a function of composition of both components in the binary systems tetraethyleneglycol octylether (C₈E₄)-water and polyethyleneglycol 400 (PEG)-water, as a function of composition, at three different temperatures. Heat capacity changes for dissolution were calculated from the temperature variation of the solution enthalpies. Excess enthalpies and excess heat capacities of mixing were calculated from the differential enthalpies of solution. All measurements on C₈E₄ were made above the critical micelle concentration (c.m.c.) so the results relate to C₈E₄ in aggregated form. The thermochemical properties of the C₈E₄ and PEG systems with water are similar. The differential solution enthalpy of the organic solute in pure water is fairly exothermic and then increases smoothly with increasing solute content. Likewise the solution enthalpy of water in pure C₈E₄ or PEG is fairly exothermic, but increases steadily to become zero at a water content corresponding to more than five water molecules per ethyleneoxide group. The measurements on the C₈E₄ system at 40°C were made close to the demixing temperature. The results are compared with previously reported results on the 2-butoxyethanol (BE)-water system.
