Excess enthalpies and excess volumes of 1-nitropropane +, and 2-nitro-propane +, each of several non-polar liquids

Excess molar enthalpies H_m^E and excess molar volumes V_m^E have been measured for xC₃H₇NO₂ + (1 ? x)c-C₆H₁₂ at 298.15 and 318.15 K; +(1 ? x)CCl₄ at 298.15 and 318.15 K; +(1 ? x)C₆H₆ at 298.15 and 318.15 K; +(1 ? x)C₆H₁₄ (V_m^E only) at 298.15 K; +(1 ? x)p-C₆H₄(CH₃)₂ at 298.15 K; and for xCH₃CH(NO₂)CH₃ + (1 ? x)c-C₆H₁₂ at 298.15 and 318.15 K; +(1 ? x)CCl₄ at 298.15 and 318.15 K; +(1 ? x)C₆H₆ at 298.15 K; +(1 ? x)C₆H₁₄ at 298.15 K; +(1 ? x)(CH₃)₂CHCH(CH₃)₂ for H_m^E at 318.15 K and for V_m^E at 298.15 K; and +(1 ? x)C₁₆H₃₄ at 298.15 K. The H_m^E′s were determined with an isothermal dilution calorimeter and the V_m^E′s with a continuous-dilution dilatometer. Particular attention was paid to the region dilute in nitroalkane. In general H_m^E is large and positive for (a nitropropane + an alkane), less positive for (a nitropropane + tetrachloromethane), and small for (a nitropropane + benzene) and for (a nitropropane + 1,4-dimethylbenzene). The mixture with hexadecane shows phase separation. V_m^E is large and positive for (1-nitropropane + cyclohexane), less positive for (1-nitropropane + hexane), and S-shaped for (1-nitropropane + tetrachloromethane) with negative values in the 1-nitropropane-rich region. For (1-nitropropane + benzene) and for (1-nitropropane + 1,4-dimethylbenzene) V_m^E is negative. For mixtures with 2-nitropropane the results are similar except that for benzene V_m^E is S-shaped with positive values in the 2-nitropropane-rich region.
