Excess heat capacities and orientational order in systems containing hexadecane isomers of different molecular structure

Using the Picker flow microcalorimeter, excess heat capacities have been obtained at 25°C throughout the concentration range for 2,2-dimethylbutane,n-hexane, and cyclohexane each mixed with a series of hexadecane isomers of increasing degrees of orientational order, as determined by depolarized Rayleigh scattering. The isomers are 2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethylnonane, 6-, 4-, and 2-methylpentadecane, andn-hexadecane. Thec _p ^E values are negative, increasing rapidly in magnitude with increase of orientational order, and are not predicted by the Prigogine—Flory theory which neglects order. Values ofc _p ^E are obtained at 10, 25, and 55°C for cyclohexane +6-, 4-, and 2-methylpentadecane which with other literature data lead to the temperature dependence of the thermodynamic excess functions for cyclohexane solutions of the five C₁₆ isomers. The excess enthalpy and entropy vary with the C₁₆ isomer and with temperature, but the corresponding variation of the excess free energy is small, indicating a high degree of enthalpy-entropy compensation. This is consistent with a rapid decrease with temperature of orientational order in the C₁₆ isomers.     

Thermodynamic properties of electrolyte solutions: An EMF study of the activity coefficients of KCl in the system KCl−KNO3−H2O at 25, 35 and 45°C

Electromotive force measurements were carried out on the system KCl–KNO₃–H₂O at constant total ionic strengths of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 mol-kg^–1 and at 25, 35 and 45°C using a cell consisting of a potassium ionselective electrode and a Ag/AgCl electrode. The Harned coefficients and the Pitzer binary and ternary interaction parameters for the system have been evaluated at each temperature. The osmotic coefficients, excess free energies of mixing and heats of mixing of the system have been predicted at each of the experimental temperatures and ionic strengths. The solubility data at 25°C are also interpreted.     

Excess molar enthalpies of binary mixtures for (tributyl phosphate+methanol/ethanol) at 298.15 K

Excess molar enthalpies of binary mixtures for tributyl phosphate (TBP)+methanol/ethanol were measured with a TAM air Isothermal calorimeter at 298.15 K and ambient. The results for xTBP+(1–x)CH₃OH are negative in the whole range of composition, while the values for xTBP+(1–x)C₂H₅OH change from positive values at low x to small negative values at high x. The experimental results have been correlated with the Redlich–Kister polynomial. IR spectra of the mixtures were measured to investigate the effect of hydrogen bonding in the mixture.

Enthalpies of mixing of <Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>- and <Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>-isomers at 298.15 K

Excess enthalpies (H ^E) of 17 binary mixtures of o- and m-isomers of dichlorobenzene, difluorobenzene, methoxymethylbenzene, dimethylbenzene, dimethoxybenzene, aminofluorobenzene, fluoronitrobenzene, diethylbenzene, chlorofluorobenzene, fluoroiodobenzene, bromofluorobenzene, chloromethylbenzene, fluoromethylbenzene, bromomethylbenzene, iodomethylbenzene, fluoromethoxybenzene, dibromobenzene at 298.15 K were measured. All excess enthalpies measured were very small, and those of o-+m-isomers of aminofluorobenzene, dibromobenzene and iodomethylbenzene were negative but 14 other binary mixtures of isomers were positive over the whole range of mole fractions. H ^E of o-+m-isomers of dimethoxybenzene showed the largest enthalpic instability and those of aminofluorobenzene showed the largest enthalpic stability. There was a correlation between dipole–dipole interaction, dipole–induced dipole interaction or entropies of vaporization and excess partial molar enthalpies at infinite dilution.     

Chromatographic study of the thermodynamics of solutions of hydrocarbons in liquid crystal solvents. Evidence for order disturbance by the solutes

Gas-chromatographic experiments were carried out in various phases of the solvents 4-acetoxy-N-[4-methoxy-benzylidene]-aniline, dibutoxyazoxybenzene, lithium stearate, dihexoxyazoxybenzene, and diheptoxyazoxybenzene. The solutes were linear, branched and cyclic alkanes, and substituted benzenes. Excess enthalpies, entropies, and free entropies were calculated from net retention volumes. In the nematic liquid crystalline phases the effect of order disturbance was significant in and but it was, by enthalpy-entropy compensation, not demonstrable in . Differences in flexibility and degree of expansion of the solutes did not result in significantly different values of the excess quantities.     

NMR and Excess Volumes Studies in DMF–Alcohol Mixtures

Chemical shifts of the alcohol and DMF protons in DMF–alcohol mixtures with the mole fraction of alcohol are reported in order to study the hydrogen bond interaction present in the mixtures. The densities of DMF–methanol mixture at 22°C are also measured. Excess volumes and excess chemical shifts are correlated by the Redlich–Kister equation. The relation between excess volumes and excess chemical shifts in the mixtures is discussed. It is found that the maximum excess chemical shifts ^E(CHO-OH) and ^E(CH₃-OH) are positioned at about mole fraction methanol = 0.57 for the DMF–methanol system, as is V ^E. The results show that the NMR spectral method offers a valuable approach to similar future studies of interactions in mixtures.     

Excess molar enthalpy of binary mixtures of hexane+ethyl benzene, <Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>-xylene, <Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>-xylene and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-xylene at 298.15 K

Summary This paper reports excess molar enthalpies of the binary systems hexane+ethyl benzene, hexane+o-xylene, hexane+m-xylene and hexane+p-xylene at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure, over the whole composition range. The data was measured directly using a Calvet microcalorimeter. The excess magnitude was correlated to a Redlich-Kister type equation for each mixture. Also, we will discuss the results for the four mixtures studied here and by comparison with the same binary systems but containing propyl propanoate as first component. Finally, we will correlate our results with the Nitta-Chao and the three UNIFAC theoretical approximations.     

Thermodynamics of molecular interactions in ethyl iodide+toluene mixtures

The excess Gibb's free energy of mixing, G^E, for ethyl iodide+toluene at 25°C have been obtained from the measured vapor pressuure data. The H^E and G^E values for ethyl iodide+toluene are positive throughout the ethyl iodide concentration range and G^E>H^E. The results have been analyzed in terms of Flory and ideal associated model theory of nonelectrolyte solutions. It has been observed that the ideal associated model approach which assumes the presence of AN and A₂B molecular species describes well (within±10 J-mol^–1 in the worst case) the general dependence of H^E on X_A (mole fraction of ethyl iodide) over the whole composition range for ethyl iodide+toluene mixtures. The equilibrium constants for A+A AB and 2A+BA₂B reactions along with the enthalpies of formation of AB and A₂B molecular species have been calculated.
