Abstract: | Molar excess volumes VE at 25°C have been determined by vibrating-tube densimetry, as a function of mole fraction x for different series of an alkanoate (H2m+1CmCOOCnH2n+1)+cyclohexane. Three types of alkanoates were investigated, i.e., methanoates (m=0, with n=3 and 4), ethanoates (m=1, with n=2, 3, and 4) and propanoates (m=2, with n=1, 2, and 3). In addition, a Picker flow calorimeter was used to obtain molar excess heat capacities CpE at constant pressure at the same temperature. VE is positive for all systems and rather symmetric, with VE (x=0.5) amounting to almost identical values in a series of mixtures containing an alkanoate isomer of same formula (say C4H8O2, C5H10O2, or C6H12O2). The composition dependence of CpE is rather unusual in that two more or less marked minima are observed for most of the mixtures, especially when the alkanoate is a methanoate or an ethanoate. These results are discussed in terms of possible changes in conformation of both the ester and cyclohexane. |
