“…A simultaneous fit to the results of Makhatadze and Privalov, Alexander, Nakajima et al, (18) and Friedman and Scheraga (19) gave similar results (maximum difference in DC p,m = 4 J·K −1 ·mol −1 ). When the dilatometric results of Cabani et al (20) (with the third derivative set to zero) are used to calculate DC p,m for ethanol and propanol, the results are systematically lower by ( It was found that a quadratic function of temperature was adequate to fit the experimental temperature dependence of the functional group parameters C j . The resulting equation for predicting C a p,2 was: Table 8 gives the functional group parameters resulting from a weighted least-squares fit of equation (11) to the values of C a p,2 in tables 6 and 7.…”
