Excess molar enthalpies, measured at the temperature 298.15 K in a flow microcalorimeter, are reported for the ternary mixtures {x1 CH3 CH2 OC(CH3 )3 + x2 CH3 (CH2 )4 CH3 + (1 − x1 − x2 )CH3 (CH2 )5 CH3 } and {x1 CH3 CH2 OC(CH3 )3 + x2 CH3 (CH2 )4 CH3 + (1 − x1 − x2 )CH3 (CH2 )6 CH3 }. Smooth representations of the results are described and used to construct constant-enthalpy contours on Roozeboom diagrams. It is shown that useful estimates of the enthalpies of the ternary mixtures can be obtained from the Liebermann and Fried model, using only the physical properties of the components and c 2001 Academic Press their binary mixtures.

1. Introduction A recent paper, (1)

from our laboratory, described measurements of excess molar enthalpies at T = 298.15 K for {ethyl tert-butylether (ETBE) + n-hexane (nC6), or n-heptane (nC7), or n-octane (nC8)}. To extend that investigation, we have made enthalpy measurements for {ETBE + nC6 + nC7, or nC8}.

2. Experimental The ETBE and n-alkanes used in the present measurements were the same as in our earlier work. (1) Apart from partial degassing, all of the components were used without further purification. Densities ρ(T = 298.15 K)/(kg · m−3 ), measured in an Anton–Paar densimeter, were 735.32, 655.53, 679.94, and 698.78 for ETBE, nC6, nC7, and nC8, respectively. These results are in reasonable agreement with values in the literature.

Excess molar enthalpies HmE were measured in an LKB flow microcalorimeter (Model 10700-1), at T = (298.150 ± 0.003) K. Details of the equipment and the operating procedure have been described previously. (3,4) In studying {x1 CH3 CH2 OC(CH3 )3 + x2 CH3 (CH2 )4 CH3 + (1 − x1 − x2 )CH3 (CH2 )ν CH3 } for E ν = 5 and 6, the excess molar enthalpy Hm,1+23 was determined for several pseudo-binary mixtures in which component 1 (ETBE) was added to binary mixtures, having fixed compositions, of components 2 (nC6) and 3 (nC7 or nC8). For this purpose, binary mixtures with selected values of x2 /(1 − x1 − x2 ) were prepared by mass. The excess E molar enthalpy Hm,123 of the ternary mixture was then obtained from the relation: E E E Hm,123 = Hm,1+23 + (1 − x1 )Hm,23 ,

(1)

E where Hm,23 is the excess molar enthalpy of the particular binary mixture. Over most of the mole-fraction range, the errors of the excess molar enthalpies and the mole fractions of the final ternary mixtures are estimated to be <0.005 · |HmE | and <5 · 10−4 , respectively.

3. Results and discussion E Excess molar enthalpies Hm,i j (i < j) at T = 298.15 K for the five constituent-binary mixtures of present interest have been reported previously: {ETBE(1) + nC6(2)}, (1) {ETBE(1) + nC7(3)}, (1) {ETBE(1) + nC8(3)}, (1) {nC6(2) + nC7(3)}, (5) and {nC6(2) + nC8(3)}.

E Equations (2) to (4) were also used to calculate the constant Hm,123 contours plotted on the Roozeboom diagrams in figures 3(a) and 4(a). All of the contours extend to the edges of the triangle, and there is no indication of internal extrema. In both cases, the maximum E value of Hm,123 is located in the edge of the plot for the constituent-binary comprising ETBE and the larger n-alkane. In the past, the Flory theory (9,10) has been useful in predicting the excess enthalpies of a number of ternary mixtures involving ethers and hydrocarbons, from analyses of the excess enthalpies of their constituent-binaries. More recent work indicates that an extension of the model of Liebermann and Fried (11,12) has not only the potential for correlating the excess enthalpy of binary mixtures but also the potential for predicting the (vapor + liquid) equilibria of binary and ternary mixtures. (1,13,14) Accordingly, it is of interest to consider the application of this model to predicting the excess enthalpies of the present ternary mixtures, using only the properties of the components and their binary mixtures. In applying the Liebermann and Fried model to the molar excess enthalpy of a ternary E mixture, Hm,123 is represented as a sum of two terms H (A) and H (V ), where

H (A) represents the deviation from ideal behavior due to intermolecular forces, where A jk and Ak j are parameters characteristic of the binary mixture comprising components j and k. It is assumed, with some justification, that   ln(A jk Ak j ) 1 ∂ A jk β 1 ∂ Ak j = = , (7) A jk ∂ T T ln(A jk Ak j ) − 2 Ak j ∂ T and, based on previous experience, (13) a value of 2 was adopted for the parameter β. Evaluation of H (V ), the contribution due to the different sizes of the molecules, requires values of the molar volumes Vm and their variation with the temperature T . In the present work, the isobaric thermal expansivities α p are used for the latter purpose, as indicated in the left side of equation (6).

Values of the interaction parameters Ai j and A ji , were obtained by fitting the Liebermann and Fried model to the excess enthalpies of the constituent binary mixtures. (1,5,6) In this process, the relative importance of H (A) and H (V ) varies considerably, depending on the mixture under consideration. For mixtures of the ether with one of the alkanes, H (V ) is relatively small. However, for binary mixtures of the alkanes, the two terms are of similar magnitude and opposite in sign. The resulting values of Ai j and A ji are listed in table 4 along with the values of the isobaric thermal expansivities α p , (2,15) used in evaluating the size contribution H (V ). E Estimates of Hm,1+23 , derived from the Liebermann and Fried model, are shown as dashed curves in figures 1 and 2. It can be seen, that for the binary mixtures (i.e. x2 = 0 and x1 + x2 = 1), which were used in determining the values of Ai j and A ji , there is fairly close agreement with the experimental curves. However, the model tends to yield values which are higher than the experimental results for the ternary mixtures. For the 58 points in table 2 and the 61 points in table 3, the root mean square deviations are 4.0 and 3.9 J · mol−1 , respectively. However, these are less than the deviations (5.4 and) 5.3 J · mol−1 obtained from applications of the Flory theory. E Constant Hm,123 contours, estimated on the basis of the Liebermann and Fried model, are shown in figures 3(b) and 4(b). It is clear from a comparison of the two parts in each E figure, that the Liebermann and Fried model provides useful estimates of Hm,123 for both of the present mixtures, without requiring any direct measurements on the ternary mixture.
