Molar excess enthalpies of ternary mixtures of non-electrolytes

Molar excess enthalpies, H^E_ijk(T₁, x_i, x_j), for methylenebromide (i)+pyridine (j)+β-picoline (k); pyridine (i)+β-picoline (j)+cyclohexane (k); benzene (i)+toluene (j)+1,2-dichloroethane (k); benzene (i)+o-xylene (j)+1,2-dichloroethane (k); and benzene (i)+p-xylene (j)+1,2-dichloroethane (k) mixtures have been measured calorimetrically as a function of temperature and composition. The data have been analysed in terms of the Sanchez and Lacombe theory and using an approach employing the “graph theoretical” concept of connectivity parameters to characterize its pure components. It has been observed that the H^E_ijk (T, x_i, x_j) data calculated from the “graph theoretical” approach using ³ξ values based on δ^v considerations (that take into consideration the valency of individual atoms of the molecular graph constituent components) best reproduces the corresponding experimental H^E_ijk data.
