Excess molar enthalpies for the binary mixtures of benzyl alcohol + 2-heptanone, + 3-heptanone, + 5-methyl-2-hexanone, and + 2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanone were measured over the entire composition range at (298.65, 303.55, and 308.50) K using a Calvet-type microcalorimeter. The excess molar enthalpies are positive for all the mixtures with their maximums between (300 and 500) J‚mol -1 . The Redlich-Kister polynomial was used to correlate the experimental results. The experimental results are discussed in terms of intermolecular interactions, particularly hydrogen-bonding interactions between like and unlike molecules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
