The standard molar enthalpies of vaporization
of 11 branched tert-butyl alkyl ethers, tert-amyl
alkyl ethers, and tert-octyl alkyl ethers have been determined from the temperature dependence of the
vapor pressure measured by the transpiration method. The temperature dependences of retention indices
for a set of 31 ethers with branched molecular structures were measured using a nonpolar gas chromatographic column. Values of
for 13 ethers obtained from the transpiration method in this work
(as well as some values selected from the literature) together with data for these ethers obtained from
the correlation gas-chromatography method were used to derive a correlation for the prediction of the
standard molar enthalpies of vaporization
for branched ethers at the temperature T = 298.15 K.
Experimental values of
for 19 branched ethers were obtained with the help of this correlation. The
procedure of the correlation gas-chromatography method was modified and substantially simplified by
introduction of the Kovat's index for the correlation of the retention indices with the experimental
.
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.
