“…Most interestingly, for some of the mixtures involving either an n-alkane, or cyclohexane, C E p,m as a function of mole fraction x is W-shaped similar to what is observed with mixtures of alkanes with other polar substances like cyclic ethers, (6) or alkanones, (7) or α,ω-dichloroalkanes, (8)(9)(10) or pyridine. (11) In the pure, dense liquid state, a strong case for correlation of molecular orientation between longer n-alkane molecules has been made by Bothorel et al (12,13) With increasing branching this correlation gradually disappears, and highly-branched alkanes such as 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, or 2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethylnonane are essentially devoid of order. This communication is intended to expand our systematic studies by reporting excess molar volumes and excess molar heat capacities at constant pressure at the temperature T = 298.15 K and at atmospheric pressure of eight liquid mixtures consisting of an n-alkylalkanoate {n-butylmethanoate, HCOO(CH 2 ) 3 CH 3 , or ethylethanoate, CH 3 …”
