Abstract: | 2-Methyl pyrazine (2MP) has led to significant interest for its industrial and pharmaceutical uses. The new vapor–liquid equilibria (VLE) at 353.15 K and excess molar volumes (VE) at 298.15 K over the whole mole fraction range for seven binaries (water, n-hexane, cyclohexane, n-heptane, methylcyclopentane (MCP), methylcyclohexane (MCH) and ethyl acetate (EA) with 2MP) have been measured. VLE were measured by using headspace gas chromatography and VE were determined using precision density meter. The water+2MP system has only the minimum boiling azeotrope. The experimental VLE and VE data were well correlated in terms of common gE models and Redlich–Kister equation, respectively. |
