Excess molar enthalpies of binary mixtures containing dimethylcarbonate, diethylcarbonate or propylene carbonate + three chloroalkenes at 298.15 K

Excess molar enthalpies H^E_m of dimethylcarbonate, diethylcarbonate or propylene carbonate + trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, + trichloroethylene, and + tetrachloroethylene, respectively have been determined at 298.15 K using an LKB flow-microcalorimeter. Experimental data have been correlated by means of the Redlich-Kister equation and adjustable parameters have been evaluated by least-squares analysis. The H^E_m values range from a minimum value of − 1000 J mol⁻¹ for diethylcarbonate + trans-1,2-dichloroethylene up to a maximum of 920 J mol⁻¹ for dimethylcarbonate + tetrachloroethylene. For each series of mixtures, a systematic increase in H^E_m with an increase in the number of Cl atoms in the chloroalkene molecule has been noted. The results are discussed in terms of the molecular interactions.
