“…In sight of this agreement, it is fair to suppose that the excess molar enthalpy for the mixture of p-cymene with propan-1-ol would be positive because it is also positive for the mixtures of propan-1-ol with benzene [5,8,10,12,13], or toluene [8,10,12,13], or the three isomers of xylene [7,8,10,11,13,14] as was also supposed on a very similar basis for the mixture of p-cymene with ethanol [2]. Then, for all of the mixtures of benzene or alkylbenzene with ethanol or propan-1-ol the prevailing thermal effect in the mixing process is the breaking of interactions in the pure compounds (especially of hydrogen bonds in the alkanol), a breaking which is not compensated by the π-OH interactions between aromatic compounds and alkanol.…”
