The excess enthalpies of sulfolane + benzene, + toluene, + pxylene, and + mesitylene have been measured with a flow calorimeter at 303.15,313.15,and 323.15K. The HL values as well as the estimated excess heat capacities are positive and increase with increasing hydrocarbon alkylation.
1. Introduction The excess Gibbs energies between 303 and 333 K and the excess enthalpies at 303.15 K of sulfolane + benzene and + toluene have been reported earlier.“, 2, To obtain information about the temperature dependence of HE, similar measurements were undertaken at 313.15 and 323.15 K for the mixtures. In addition the excess enthalpies of sulfolane + p-xylene and + mesitylene were measured, to investigate the influence upon Hz of an increasing number of methyl substituents in the benzene ring.
2. Experimental Sulfolane (E. Merck, zur Synthese) was purified by repeated distillations under vacuum. In the last two or three distillations phosphorus pentoxide was added to the flask for dehydration. t3) The purified sulfolane was used when its melting temperature was 301.55 K or higher.‘3-5’ Benzene, toluene, p-xylene, and mesitylene (all Fluka AG, puriss., p.a.) were distilled at atmospheric pressure through a Vigreux column and then passed through an aluminium oxide column (Fluka AG, chromatography, basic, activity I). The purified aromatic solvents were stored over molecular sieves (British Drug Houses Ltd., type 4A). The densities of the purified samples of sulfolane, benzene, toluene, p-xylene, and mesitylene at 303.15 K were 1.2624,O.86827,0.85760,0.85227, and 0.85681 g. cmb3, 0021-9614/83/090821+05 %02.00/O

The excess enthalpies were determined with an LKB flow microcalorimeter (Model 2107). The experimental procedure has been described earlier.“’ 3. Results The experimental values of HE for the four mixtures are reported in table 1. The excess enthalpies of sulfolane + benzene and + toluene at 303.15 K published earlier are not reproduced in table 1 except some new values for the first pair. These were determined around the local minimum in the Hk against x curve, and they confirm the observed behaviour. The experimental excessenthalpies show that for each binary mixture studied the HE values increase almost linearly with increasing temperature. Therefore it seemed reasonable to use a smoothing function Hr(J.mol-‘)

where x denotes the mole fraction, T the temperature, and n (< m) is at its maximum 2. This equation allows the Hz results at different temperatures to be fitted simultaneously. According to @Hf,/aT), = C&,, equation (1) gives the relation: CE,,/(J.K-‘.mol-‘)

for the excessheat capacity. The estimates of C’i., represent mean values over the temperature range of the H,!f,measurements. When the coefficients of equation (1) are solved with a least-squares program also giving the standard errors of Aj and aj, it is also possible to determine confidence limits for the calculated CpE,m values. In general the estimation of CF.,, from the temperature dependenceof HE is subject to relatively large error as noted by Fortier and Benson.‘7’ However, when the proposed method was tested with some mixtures for which both Hfi, at several temperatures and the experimental CF.,, values are available in the literature, good,‘*v9)or at least satisfactory, agreement was obtained between the calculated and the measured excessheat capacities. A summary of the coefficients of equation (1) for the representation of the present HE results is given in table 2. The standard errors of the coefficients as well as the standard deviations s(Hf,) of the fits are included. The solid curves in figures 1 and 2 were calculated from (1) and (2) using these coefficient values. The error bars in figure 2 show the uncertainties of CF.,, as calculated from the standard errors of the coefficients aj 4. Discussion The four Hfi, curves in figure 1 show that the excessmolar enthalpies are positive and increase with an increasing number of methyl substituents in the benzene ring.

The increments at x = 0.5 and at 323.15 K per CH,-group are 325, 240, and 185 J. mol-r when moving from benzene to mesitylene. The observed behaviour suggeststhat no strong attractions between the sulfolane and aromatic molecule exist; had strong attractions existed the excess enthalpies would have been negative or would at least have decreased with increasing methyl substitution of the benzene molecule.(l”*r ‘) Usually for mixtures of simple non-polar molecules Hk is positive and decreaseswith increasing temperature. For the present mixtures the temperature dependence of Hfi, turned out to be just the opposite: the excess enthalpies increase with increasing temperature. A possible interpretation
