ERAS modeling of the excess molar enthalpies of binary liquid mixtures of 1-pentanol and 1-hexanol with acetonitrile at atmospheric pressure and 288, 298, 313 and 323 K

This work reports experimental data on the excess molar enthalpy as a function of composition of acetonitrile + 1-pentanol and acetonitrile + 1-hexanol mixtures at 288.15, 298.15, 313.15 and 323.15 K under atmospheric pressure. The data show positive values over the whole composition range for both systems and for all temperatures studied, they also increase with temperature and with alkanol chain length. The experimental curves have a parabolic shape with maximum point around 0.5 mole fraction. The extended real associated solution (ERAS) model was applied to correlate the experimental data. The ERAS model adequately described the main features of the behavior of the mixtures.
