Activity coefficients at infinite dilution γ i ∞ of 19 alkanes, alkenes, and alkylbenzenes in the ionic liquid 4-methyl-n-butylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate (C 10 H 16 BF 4 N) were determined by gas chromatography using the ionic liquid as stationary phase. The measurements were carried out at different temperatures between 313.1 K and 363.1 K. From the temperature dependence of the limiting activity coefficients partial molar excess enthalpies at infinite dilution H i E,∞ of the organic solutes in the ionic liquids have been derived.
The standard molar enthalpies of vaporization ∆ l g H°m of the 14 branched C 5 and C 6 alkanols 2,2dimethyl-1-propanol, 2-methyl-1-pentanol, 3-methyl-1-pentanol, 2-ethyl-1-butanol, 3,3-dimethyl-1-butanol, 2-hexanol, 3-hexanol, 3-methyl-2-pentanol, 4-methyl-2-pentanol, 2-methyl-3-pentanol, 3,3-dimethyl-2butanol, 2-methyl-2-butanol, 3-methyl-3-pentanol, and 2,3-dimethyl-2-butanol have been determined. The data were obtained from the temperature dependence of the vapor pressure measured by the transpiration method. A linear correlation of enthalpies of vaporization of the secondary alcohols with the number of C atoms has been found. The effect of self-association of aliphatic alcohols in the liquid phase is discussed in terms of the difference of ∆ l g H°m(298.15 K) between associating alcohols and their nonassociating alkane homomorphs.
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.
