Excess-Enthalpies and Excess Volumes of the Liquid Binary-Mixtures of Propylene Carbonate Plus 6 Alkanols at 298.15 K
The excess molar enthalpies and the excess molar volumes for binary mixtures of propylene carbonate with methanol, ethanol, 1- and 2-propanol, and 1- and 2-butanol have been determined as a function of composition at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure, using an LKB flow microcalorimeter and an Anton Paar density meter. The excess enthalpies are positive for all mixtures, while excess volumes are negative for methanol and ethanol, positive for 1- and 2-butanol and show a change of sign, as a function of composition, for 1- and 2-propanol. Both excess properties increase in magnitude as the alkanol chain length increases. Results were correlated by means of the Redlich-Kister equation and a qualitative molecular interpretation is presented.
