Densities of aqueous solutions containing model compounds of amino acids and ionic salts at T = 298.15 K

Densities of amino acids in aqueous and in aqueous electrolyte solutions have been measured by a high precision vibrating tube digital densitometer at T = 298.15 K under atmospheric pressure. The investigated systems contained amino acids of zwitterionic glycine peptides: glycine (Gly), diglycine (Gly₂), triglycine (Gly₃), and tetraglycine (Gly₄) and cyclic glycylglycine (c(GG)) with electrolytes of potassium chloride (KCl), potassium bromide (KBr) and potassium acetate (KAc). In this series of measurements, the aqueous samples were prepared with various concentrations of the amino acids, up to saturated conditions, and over salt concentrations from 1 to 4 M. The density increments resulting from the addition of the different model compounds of amino acids and the ionic salts were investigated, respectively. An empirical linear combination equation with an augmented term to account the interactions between amino acid and ionic salt was used to quantitatively correlate the experimental densities over the entire concentration ranges.     

Thermodynamics of proton dissociations from aqueous serine at temperatures from (278.15 to 393.15) K,molalities from (0.01 up to 1.0) mol · kg−1, and at the pressure 0.35 MPa: Apparent molar heat capacities and apparent molar volumes of serine,serinium chloride,and sodium serinate

We have measured the densities of aqueous solutions of serine, serine plus equimolal HCl, and serine plus equimolal NaOH at temperatures 278.15 ⩽ T/K ⩽ 368.15, molalities 0.01 ⩽ m/mol · kg⁻¹ ⩽ 1.0, and at the pressure p = 0.35 MPa, using a vibrating tube densimeter. We have also measured the heat capacities of these solutions at 278.15 ⩽ T/K ⩽ 393.15 and at the same m and p using a fixed-cell differential temperature-scanning calorimeter. We used the densities to calculate apparent molar volumes V_ϕ and the heat capacities to calculate apparent molar heat capacities C_p,ϕ for these solutions. We used our results and values from the literature for V_ϕ(T,m) and C_p,ϕ(T,m) for HCl(aq), NaOH(aq), and NaCl(aq) and the molar heat capacity change Δ_rC_p,m(T,m) for ionization of water to calculate Δ_rC_p,m(T,m) for proton dissociations from protonated aqueous cationic serine and from the zwitterionic form. We integrated these results in an iterative algorithm using Young’s rule to account for the effects of speciation and chemical relaxation on the observed V_ϕ(T,m) and C_p,ϕ(T,m) of the solutions. This procedure yielded parameters for V_ϕ(T,m) and C_p,ϕ(T,m) for serinium chloride {H₂Ser⁺Cl⁻(aq)} and for sodium serinate {Na⁺Gly⁻(aq)} which successfully modeled our observed results. We have then calculated Δ_rC_p,m, Δ_rH_m, Δ_rV_m and pQ_a for the first and second proton dissociations from protonated aqueous serine as functions of T and m.     

Vapour pressures,densities, and viscosities of the (water + lithium bromide + potassium acetate) system and (water + lithium bromide + sodium lactate) system

Measurements of thermophysical properties (vapour pressure, density, and viscosity) of the (water + lithium bromide + potassium acetate) system LiBr:CH₃COOK = 2:1 by mass ratio and the (water + lithium bromide + sodium lactate) system LiBr:CH₃CH(OH)COONa = 2:1 by mass ratio were measured. The system, a possible new working fluid for absorption heat pump, consists of absorbent (LiBr + CH₃COOK) or (LiBr + CH₃CH(OH)COONa) and refrigerant H₂O. The vapour pressures were measured in the ranges of temperature and absorbent concentration from T = (293.15 to 333.15) K and from mass fraction 0.20 to 0.50, densities and viscosities were measured from T = (293.15 to 323.15) K and from mass fraction 0.20 to 0.40. The experimental data were correlated with an Antoine-type equation. Densities and viscosities were measured in the same range of temperature and absorbent concentration as that of the vapour pressure. Regression equations for densities and viscosities were obtained with a minimum mean square error criterion.     

Physical properties of (jojoba oil + n-hexane) compared with other (vegetable oil + n-hexane) mixtures

Vapour pressures, densities, and viscosities of (jojoba oil + n-hexane) were measured and correlated over the temperature interval (298.15 to 318.15) K and used to calculate the activity coefficients of the components, excess thermodynamics functions, excess molar volumes, isobaric thermal expansibilities, excess viscosities, and the excess Gibbs free energies of activation for viscous flow. The reported results are compared with the corresponding values for commercial (oil + n-hexane) mixtures (cottonseed, soybean, sunflower, corn, olive, grape pip, Vaseline, and linalool oils) reported in the literature. As a by-product of this investigation, the vapour pressures of 1-methoxy-2-propanol from T = (298 to 392) K, 2-ethyl-6-methylaniline from T = (313 to 448) K, and N-methoxyisopropanol-6-ethyl-2-methylaniline from T = (407 to 535) K were measured using an ebulliometric method. A remarkable similarity between the excess properties for all oils is observed, but the behaviour of the excess thermodynamic functions in the case of (n-hexane + jojoba oil), especially in the n-hexane rich region, is quite different.     

Compressed liquid densities for the (n-heptane + n-decane) and (n-octane + n-decane) systems from T = (313 to 363) K

Densities (p, ρ, T, x₁) of two binary n-alkane systems are reported from T = (313 to 363) K in the compressed liquid phase up to 25 MPa over the whole range of composition. The binary mixtures {x₁n-heptane + (1 ? x₁)n-decane} and {x₁n-octane + (1 ? x₁)n-decane} were prepared at compositions of (x₁ = 0.0531, 0.2594, 0.5219, 0.777, 0.952), and (x₁ = 0.0616, 0.2801, 0.5314, 0.7736, 0.9623), respectively. A measuring system based on a vibrating tube densimeter, DMA HPM from Anton Paar with data acquisition system was developed in order to obtain experimental densities. Water and nitrogen were used as reference fluids to calibrate the densimeter. Experimental methodology was checked by comparing the n-heptane and n-decane densities against multi-parameter equations proposed in the literature. Differences between both sets of data show a maximum deviation of 0.07%. Excess molar volumes, isothermal compressibility and isobaric thermal expansivity were computed from experimental densities.     

Thermodynamics of proton dissociations from aqueous l-methionine at temperatures from (278.15 to 393.15) K,molalities from (0.0125 to 1.0) mol · kg−1, and at the pressure 0.35 MPa: Apparent molar heat capacities and apparent molar volumes of l-methionine,methioninium chloride,and sodium methioninate

We have measured the densities of aqueous solutions of l-methionine, l-methionine plus equimolal HCl, and l-methionine plus equimolal NaOH at temperatures 278.15 ⩽ T/K ⩽ 368.15, at molalities 0.0125 ⩽ m/mol · kg⁻¹ ⩽ 1.0 as solubilities allowed, and at p = 0.35 MPa using a vibrating tube densimeter. We have also measured the heat capacities of these solutions at 278.15 ⩽ T/K ⩽ 393.15 and at the same m and p using a twin fixed-cell differential temperature-scanning calorimeter. We used the densities to calculate apparent molar volumes V_ϕ and the heat capacities to calculate apparent molar heat capacities C_p,ϕ for these solutions. We used our results and values from the literature for V_ϕ(T, m) and C_p,ϕ(T, m) for HCl(aq), NaOH(aq), and NaCl(aq) and the molar heat capacity change Δ_rC_p,m(T, m) for ionization of water to calculate parameters for Δ_rC_p,m(T, m) for the two proton dissociations from protonated aqueous cationic l-methionine. We integrated these results in an iterative algorithm using Young’s Rule to account for the effects of speciation and chemical relaxation on V_ϕ(T, m) and C_p,ϕ(T, m). This procedure yielded parameters for V_ϕ(T, m) and C_p,ϕ(T, m) for methioninium chloride {H₂Met⁺Cl⁻(aq)} and for sodium methioninate {Na⁺Met⁻(aq)} which successfully modeled our observed results. Values are given for Δ_rC_p,m, Δ_rH_m, pQ_a, Δ_rS_m, and Δ_rV_m for the first and second proton dissociations from protonated aqueous l-methionine as functions of T and m.     

Density measurements of liquid 2-propanol at temperatures between (280 and 393) K and at pressures up to 10 MPa

Liquid densities for 2-propanol have been measured at T = (280, 300, 325, 350, 375, and 393) K from about atmospheric pressure up to 10 MPa using a vibrating tube densimeter. The period of vibration has been converted into density using the Forced Path Mechanical Calibration method. The R134a has been used as reference fluid for T ? 350 K and water for T > 350 K. The uncertainty of the measurements is lower than ±0.05%. The measured liquid densities have been correlated with a Starling BWR equation with an overall AAD of 0.025%. The same BWR equation agrees within an AAD lower than 0.2% with the experimental values available in the literature over the same temperature and pressure range.     

Excess molar enthalpies of {diethyl oxalate + (methanol, + ethanol, + 1-propanol,and + 2-propanol)} at T = (288.2, 298.2, 313.2, and 328.2) K and p = 101.3 kPa

A flow-mixing isothermal microcalorimeter was used to measure excess molar enthalpies for four binary systems of {diethyl oxalate + (methanol, + ethanol, + 1-propanol, and + 2-propanol)} at T = (288.2, 298.2, 313.2, and 328.2) K and p = 101.3 kPa. The densities of the diethyl oxalate at different temperature were measured by using a vibrating-tube densimeter. All systems exhibit endothermic behaviour over the whole composition range, which means that the rupture of interactions is energetically the main effect. The excess molar enthalpies increase with temperature and the molecular size of the alcohols. The experimental results were correlated by using the Redlich–Kister equation and two local-composition models (NRTL and UNIQUAC).     

Apparent molar volumes and apparent molar heat capacities of aqueous magnesium nitrate,strontium nitrate,and manganese nitrate at temperatures from 278.15 K to 393.15 K and at the pressure 0.35 MPa

Apparent molar volumes V_ϕ and apparent molar heat capacities C_p,ϕ were determined at the pressure 0.35 MPa for aqueous solutions of magnesium nitrate Mg(NO₃)₂ at molalities m = (0.02 to 1.0) mol · kg⁻¹, strontium nitrate Sr(NO₃)₂ at m = (0.05 to 3.0) mol · kg⁻¹, and manganese nitrate Mn(NO₃)₂ at m = (0.01 to 0.5) mol · kg⁻¹. Our V_ϕ values were calculated from solution densities obtained at T = (278.15 to 368.15) K using a vibrating-tube densimeter, and our C_p,ϕ values were calculated from solution heat capacities obtained at T = (278.15 to 393.15) K using a twin fixed-cell, differential, temperature-scanning calorimeter. Empirical functions of m and T were fitted to our results, and standard state partial molar volumes and heat capacities were obtained over the ranges of T investigated.     

Thermodynamics of proton dissociations from aqueous alanine at temperatures from (278.15 to 393.15) K,molalities from (0.0075 to 1.0) mol · kg−1, and at the pressure 0.35 MPa: Apparent molar heat capacities and apparent molar volumes of alanine,alaninium chloride,and sodium alaninate

We have measured the densities of aqueous solutions of alanine, alanine plus equimolal HCl, and alanine plus equimolal NaOH at temperatures 278.15 ⩽ T/K ⩽ 368.15, at molalities 0.0075 ⩽ m/mol · kg⁻¹ ⩽ 1.0, and at the pressure p = 0.35 MPa using a vibrating tube densimeter. We have also measured the heat capacities of these solutions at 278.15 ⩽ T/K ⩽ 393.15 and at the same m and p using a twin fixed-cell differential temperature-scanning calorimeter. We used the densities to calculate apparent molar volumes V_ϕ and the heat capacities to calculate apparent molar heat capacities C_p,ϕ for these solutions. We used our results and values from the literature for V_ϕ(T, m) and C_p,ϕ(T, m) for HCl(aq), NaOH(aq), and NaCl(aq) and the molar heat capacity change Δ_rC_p,m(T, m) for ionization of water to calculate parameters for Δ_rC_p,m(T, m) for the two proton dissociations from protonated aqueous cationic alanine. We integrated these results in an iterative algorithm using Young’s Rule to account for the effects of speciation and chemical relaxation on V_ϕ(T, m) and C_p,ϕ(T, m). This procedure yielded parameters for V_ϕ(T, m) and C_p,ϕ(T, m) for alaninium chloride {H₂Ala⁺Cl⁻(aq)} and for sodium alaninate {Na⁺Ala⁻(aq)} which successfully modeled our observed results. Values are given for Δ_rC_p,m, Δ_rH_m, pQ_a, Δ_rS_m, and Δ_rV_m for the first and second proton dissociations from protonated aqueous alanine as functions of T and m.     

Physicochemical properties of {1-methyl piperazine (1) + water (2)} system at T = (298.15 to 343.15) K and atmospheric pressure

Densities (ρ) and viscosities (η) of aqueous 1-methylpiperazine (1-MPZ) solutions are reported at T = (298.15 to 343.15) K. Refractive indices (n_D) are reported at T = (293.15 to 333.15) K, and surface tensions (γ) are reported at T = (298.15 to 333.15) K. Derived excess properties, except excess viscosities (Δη), are found to be negative over the entire composition range. The addition of 1-MPZ reduces drastically the surface tension of water. The temperature dependence of surface tensions is explained in terms of surface entropy (S^S) and enthalpy (H^S). The measured and derived properties are used to probe the microscopic liquid structure of the bulk and surface of the aqueous amine solutions.     

Thermodynamics of proton dissociations from aqueous threonine and isoleucine at temperatures from (278.15 to 393.15) K,molalities from (0.01 to 1.0) mol · kg−1, and at the pressure 0.35 MPa: Apparent molar heat capacities and apparent molar volumes of zwitterionic,protonated cationic,and deprotonated anionic forms

We have measured the densities of aqueous solutions of isoleucine, threonine, and equimolal solutions of these two amino acids with HCl and with NaOH at temperatures 278.15 ⩽ T/K ⩽ 368.15, at molalities 0.01 ⩽ m/mol · kg⁻¹ ⩽ 1.0, and at the pressure 0.35 MPa using a vibrating tube densimeter. We have also measured the heat capacities of these solutions at 278.15 ⩽ T/K ⩽ 393.15 and at the same m and p using a twin fixed-cell differential temperature-scanning calorimeter. We used the densities to calculate apparent molar volumes V_ϕ and the heat capacities to calculate apparent molar heat capacities C_p,ϕ for these solutions. We used our results and values from the literature for V_ϕ(T, m) and C_p,ϕ(T, m) for HCl(aq), NaOH(aq), and NaCl(aq) and the molar heat capacity change Δ_rC_p,m(T, m) for ionization of water to calculate parameters for Δ_rC_p,m(T, m) for the two proton dissociations from each of the protonated aqueous cationic amino acids. We used Young’s Rule and integrated these results iteratively to account for the effects of equilibrium speciation and chemical relaxation on V_ϕ(T, m) and C_p,ϕ(T, m). This procedure gave parameters for V_ϕ(T, m) and C_p,ϕ(T, m) for threoninium and isoleucinium chloride and for sodium threoninate and isoleucinate which modeled our observed results within experimental uncertainties. We report values for Δ_rC_p,m, Δ_rH_m, pQ_a, Δ_rS_m, and Δ_rV_m for the first and second proton dissociations from protonated aqueous threonine and isoleucine as functions of T and m.

The densities of tetraalkylammonium perchlorates R₄NClO₄(R  =  methyl, or ethyl, or propyl, or butyl) and ammonium perchlorate solutions in N, N - dimethylacetamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and triethylphosphate have been measured over the whole composition range atT =  298.15 K. From these densities, apparent and limiting partial molar volumes of the electrolytes and ions have been evaluated and used to obtain the partial molar volume for theClO₄ ⁻  anion.

The (p, ρ, T) properties and apparent molar volumes V_ϕ of CaCl₂ in methanol at T = (298.15 to 398.15) K, at pressures up to 40 MPa are reported, and apparent molar volumes have been evaluated. The experimental (p, ρ, T) values were described by an equation of state. The experiments were carried out at m = (0.10819, 0.28529, 0.65879 and 2.39344) mol · kg⁻¹ of calcium chloride.     

A calorimetric and thermodynamic investigation of A2[(UO2)2(MoO4)O2] compounds with A = K and Rb and calculated phase relations in the system (K2MoO4 + UO3 + H2O)

A calorimetric and thermodynamic investigation of two alkali-metal uranyl molybdates with general composition A₂[(UO₂)₂(MoO₄)O₂], where A = K and Rb, was performed. Both phases were synthesized by solid-state sintering of a mixture of potassium or rubidium nitrate, molybdenum (VI) oxide and gamma-uranium (VI) oxide at high temperatures. The synthetic products were characterised by X-ray powder diffraction and X-ray fluorescence methods. The enthalpy of formation of K₂[(UO₂)₂(MoO₄)O₂] was determined using HF-solution calorimetry giving Δ_fH° (T = 298 K, K₂[(UO₂)₂(MoO₄)O₂], cr) = −(4018 ± 8) kJ · mol⁻¹. The low-temperature heat capacity, С_р°, was measured using adiabatic calorimetry from T = (7 to 335) K for K₂[(UO₂)₂(MoO₄)O₂] and from T = (7 to 326) K for Rb₂[(UO₂)₂(MoO₄)O₂]. Using these С_р° values, the third law entropy at T = 298.15 K, S°, is calculated as (374 ± 1) J · K⁻¹ · mol⁻¹ for K₂[(UO₂)₂(MoO₄)O₂] and (390 ± 1) J · K⁻¹ · mol⁻¹ for Rb₂[(UO₂)₂(MoO₄)O₂]. These new experimental results, together with literature data, are used to calculate the Gibbs energy of formation, Δ_fG°, for both phases giving: Δ_fG° (T = 298 K, K₂[(UO₂)₂(MoO₄)O₂], cr) = (−3747 ± 8) kJ · mol⁻¹ and Δ_fG° (T = 298 K, Rb₂[(UO₂)₂(MoO₄)], cr) = −3736 ± 5 kJ · mol⁻¹. Smoothed С_р°(Т) values between 0 K and 320 K are presented, along with values for S° and the functions [H°(T) − H°(0)] and [G°(T) − H°(0)], for both phases. The stability behaviour of various solid phases and solution complexes in the (K₂MoO₄ + UO₃ + H₂O) system with and without CO₂ at T = 298 K was investigated by thermodynamic model calculations using the Gibbs energy minimisation approach.     

(Solid + solute) phase equilibria in aqueous solution. XIII. Thermodynamic properties of hydrozincite and predominance diagrams for (Zn2 + + H2O + CO2)

The thermodynamic properties ofZn₅(OH)₆(CO₃)₂ , hydrozincite, have been determined by performing solubility and d.s.c. measurements. The solubility constant in aqueous NaClO₄media has been measured at temperatures ranging from 288.15 K to 338.15 K at constant ionic strength (I =  1.00 mol · kg ^− 1). Additionally, the dependence of the solubility constant on the ionic strength has been investigated up to I =  3.00 mol · kg ^− 1NaClO₄at T =  298.15 K. The standard molar heat capacity C_{p, m}^ofunction fromT =  318.15 K to T =  418.15 K, as well as the heat of decomposition of hydrozincite, have been obtained from d.s.c. measurements. All experimental results have been simultaneously evaluated by means of the optimization routine of ChemSage yielding an internally consistent set of thermodynamic data (T =  298.15 K): solubility constant log ^* K_{ps 0}⁰ =  (9.0  ±  0.1), standard molar Gibbs energy of formationΔ_fG_m^o {Zn₅(OH)₆(CO₃)₂ }  =  ( − 3164.6  ±  3.0)kJ · mol ^− 1, standard molar enthalpy of formation Δ_fH_m^o{Zn₅(OH)₆(CO₃)₂ }  =  ( − 3584  ±  15)kJ · mol ^− 1, standard molar entropy S_m^o{Zn₅(OH)₆(CO₃)₂ }  =  (436  ±  50)J · mol ^− 1· K ^− 1and C_p,m^o / (J · mol ^− 1· K ^− 1)  =  (119  ±  11)  +  (0.834  ±  0.033)T / K. A three-dimensional predominance diagram is introduced which allows a comprehensive thermodynamic interpretation of phase relations in(Zn^2 +  +  H₂O  +  CO₂) . The axes of this phase diagram correspond to the potential quantities: temperature, partial pressure of carbon dioxide and pH of the aqueous solution. Moreover, it is shown how the stoichiometric composition{n(CO₃) / n(Zn)} of the solid compoundsZnCO₃ and Zn₅(OH)₆(CO₃)₂can be checked by thermodynamically analysing the measured solubility data.     

Partial molar volumes of organic solutes in water. XVI. Selected aliphatic hydroxyderivatives(aq) at T =(298 to 573) K and at pressures up to 30 MPa

Density data for dilute aqueous solutions of two diols (1,6-hexanediol, 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol) and two polyhydric alcohols (2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol, 1,2,3,4,5-pentanepentaol) are presented together with partial molar volumes at infinite dilution calculated from the experimental data. The measurements were performed at temperatures from T = 298 K up to T = 573 K and at pressure close to the saturated vapour pressure of water, at pressures between 15 and 20 MPa and at p = 30 MPa. While temperature dependences of partial molar volumes of both diols are monotonous, maxima are observed on the curves for polyhydric alcohols. The data were obtained using a high-temperature high-pressure flow vibrating-tube densimeter.     

Thermodynamic study of the system (LiCl + CaCl2 + H2O)

Solubility isotherms of the ternary system (LiCl + CaCl₂ + H₂O) were elaborately determined at T = (283.15 and 323.15) K. Several thermodynamic models were applied to represent the thermodynamic properties of this system. By comparing the predicted and experimental water activities in the ternary system, an empirical modified BET model was selected to represent the thermodynamic properties of this system. The solubility data determined in this work at T = (283.15 and 323.15) K, as well as those from the literature at other temperatures, were used for the model parameterization. A complete phase diagram of the ternary system was predicted over the temperature range from (273.15 to 323.15) K. Subsequently, the Gibbs free energy of formation of the solid phases CaCl₂ · 4 H₂O_(s), CaCl₂ · 2 H₂O_(s), LiCl · 2H₂O_(s), and LiCl · CaCl₂ · 5H₂O_(s) was estimated and compared with the literature data.     

Study of bromide salts solubility in the (m1NaBr + m2MgBr2)(aq) system at T = 323.15 K. Thermodynamic model of solution behavior and (solid + liquid) equilibria in the (Na + K + Mg + Br + H2O) system to high concentration and temperature

The bromide minerals solubility in the mixed system (m₁NaBr + m₂MgBr₂)(aq) have been investigated at T = 323.15 K by the physico-chemical analysis method. The equilibrium crystallization of NaBr·2H₂O(cr), NaBr(cr), and MgBr₂·6H₂O(cr) has been established. The solubility-measurements results obtained have been combined with all other experimental equilibrium solubility data available in literature at T = (273.15 and 298.15) K to construct a chemical model that calculates (solid + liquid) equilibria in the mixed system (m₁NaBr + m₂MgBr₂)(aq). The solubility modeling approach based on fundamental Pitzer specific interaction equations is employed. The model gives a very good agreement with bromide salts equilibrium solubility data. Temperature extrapolation of the mixed system model provides reasonable mineral solubility at high temperature (up to 100 °C). This model expands the previously published temperature variable sodium–potassium–bromide and potassium–magnesium–bromide models by evaluating sodium–magnesium mixing parameters. The resulting model for quaternary system (Na + K + Mg + Br + H₂O) is validated by comparing solubility predictions with those given in literature, and not used in the parameterization process. Limitations of the mixed solution models due to data insufficiencies at high temperature are discussed.     

Phase transitions on (liquid + liquid) equilibria for (water + 1-methylnaphthalene + light aromatic hydrocarbon) ternary systems at T = (563, 573, and 583) K

Phase transitions for (water + 1-methylnaphthalene + light aromatic hydrocarbon) ternary systems are observed at their (liquid + liquid) equilibria at T = (563, 573, and 583) K and (8.6 to 25.0) MPa. The phase transition pressures at T = (563, 573, and 583) K were measured for the five species of light aromatic hydrocarbons, o-, m-, p-xylenes, ethylbenzene, and mesitylene. The measurements of the phase transition pressures were carried out by changing the feed mole fraction of water and 1-methylnaphthalene in water free, respectively. Effects of the feed mole fraction of water on the phase transition pressures are very small. Increasing the feed mole fraction of 1-methylnaphthalene results in decreasing the phase transition pressures at constant temperature. The slopes depending on the feed mole fraction for 1-methylnaphthalene at the phase transition pressures are decreased with increasing temperature for (water + 1-methylnaphthalene + p-xylene), (water + 1-methylnaphthalene + o-xylene), and (water + 1-methylnaphthalene + mesitylene) systems. For xylene isomers, the highest and lowest of the phase transition pressures are obtained in the case of p- and o-xylenes, respectively. The phase transition pressures for ethylbenzene are lower than those in the case of p-xylene. The similar phase transition pressures are given for p-xylene and mesitylene.
