The isothermal Joule-Thomson coefficient and equation of state for methanol and ethanol vapours P. G. FRANCIS” and R. C. PHUTELA Department of Chemistry, The University, Hull HU6 7RX, U.K. (Received 2 November 1978) Measurements have been made of the isothermal Joule-Thomson coefficient of methanol and of ethanol vapours at temperatures between 323 and 430K and at pressures up to 80 kPa. The results are analysed in terms of association in the vapour and are compared with other thermodynamic data.
1. Introduction The apparatus used was the same as that described previously.(l) Methanol and ethanol are particularly suitable substances for Joule-Thomson measurements becausethis technique is independent of adsorption errors. In an isothermal Joule-Thomson apparatus a stream of vapour is passedat known amount-of-substance flow rate f through a calorimeter containing a throttle and a heater. Current I and potential difference V at the heater maintain constant temperature when the gas passesbetween inlet pressurep1 and outlet pressurepz. The energy input per amount of substanceof gas is then the enthalpy change between the pressure limits, and a quantity 4 is defined by 4 = ~~/f(P, -Pl) = omz~ T) - WPl, T>l/(P* -PI), This is related to the virial equation of state: pV = RT+Bp+C’pZ+D’p3+

2. Materials The materials used were obtained at high purity and only drying with anhydrous calcium sulphate was necessary.Analysis by g.1.c.using a flame ionization detector gave purities of 99.96and 99.9 massper cent for the methanol and ethanol respectively. The water contents were determined by Karl Fisher titration to be 0.02 and 0.07 mole per cent respectively. a To whom correspondence should be addressed. 0021-9614/79/080747+10 $01.00/O

3. Results Measurements were made near to 7 temperatures for methanol and 6 temperatures for ethanol in the range 320 to 430 K. The maximum inlet pressure used was near saturation or 100 kPa and the pressure difference was about 25 kPa. The results are shown in tables 1 and 2 and in figures 1 and 2. TABLE 1. Methanol.

Whereasfor non-polar vapours, Q,is Iinear in mean pressure(pr +p2)/2, the pressure dependence of $ for these alcohols is dominated by the fourth virial coefficient. Figures 1 and 2 show (P(T*), corrected to standard temperatures T* by the fitting equations described later, plotted against the quantity (p:+pIp2+pi) given in equation (3). Although r$(T*) is not a unique function of this quantity, the approximate linearity shows the dominance of this term. The very strong dependence on pressure at low temperature is remarkable. The points at the lowest pressuresare the least reliable becausethe calorimeter response is then poorest.
4. Theory In the lower half of the temperature range studied the properties of the vapours are dominated by hydrogen-bond interactions. The approximate linearity in the pressure function (p:+p2p2 +p$, or dependence upon the fourth virial coefficient, can be regarded as evidence for association into tetramers. This makes the extrapolation of the results to zero pressure, where only the second virial coefficient is significant, very uncertain at these low temperatures. Literature values of the second virial coefficient, shown in reduced form in figure 3, are discordant due to the effects of adsorption and to contributions from higher terms in the virial equation. The strong association in these vapours has previously been detected by observation of the pressure dependenceof the heat capacity, from which enthalpies and entropies

of association have been deduced.c2-+ The measurements reported here contain sufficient detail to show inadequacy in the simple model used to interpret heatcapacity measurements. The equations relating to a simple association model of a vapour have been given by Woolley. c6)Positive values of the second virial coefficient then imply a negative association constant, the significance of which was discussedby Kilpatrick’7) and by Winston.@) The parameters used have been termed “sociation constants” by Guggenheimtg,lo) to emphasizetheir form as an excessnumber of molecular clusters over the random number. Heat-capacity measurements have been interpreted’2-5’ using this association model with the assumption that the second virial coefficient can be represented by a dimerization constant. For alcohols this is inadequate and modified equations are now needed in terms of the second virial coefficient together with an association model for higher terms. This may conveniently be obtained by following the treatment of Guggenheim.(“) The Helmholtz free energy is written in terms of an activity t as A/kT = N In c- V(5 + b2t2 + b&f3 + b&f4 -I- . . .). (5) The second virial coefficient B is then - b2. The formal definitions N,/Y = 5, NJV = c2, NJV = c3, and N4/V = t4 lead to sociation constants b, = N,V2/N:
= (kT)2n3/n:,
(6)
b4 = N,V3/N:
= (kT)3n,/n:.
(7)
N, and Z, can be regarded as numbers and partial pressures respectively of y-mers. Following Woolley,@) we write KS = n&r: and K4 = 71,/n:. The equation for the total pressure is p/kT = <+b2t2+b3t3+b4t4+

(8)
which may be inverted to give 5 in the form t =p/kT-b2(p/kT)2+(2b~-b3)(p/kT)3+(-5b~+5b,b3-b,)(p/kT)4+

Combination of equations (8), (9), and (lo), with division of one series by another, gives V = RT/p+B+RT(3(B/RT)2-2K3}p

(11) This is analogous to the equation obtained by Woolley except for retention of the second virial coefficient B rather than an association constant for dimeezation. The temperature dependence of V is required for interpretation of Jo&-Thomson measurements. This can be written in terms of an empirical equation for B(T), together with crude expressions for the temperature dependence of K3 and ~~ in the form: K,(T) = K,(T+)exp{AH,(TTt)/RTTt) (12) K,(T) = K,(T+)exp(AH,(TTt)/RTTt} (13)

5. Discussion The second virial coefficient measurements shown in figure 3 have been plotted in reduced form BpJRT,, using critical data from the compilation by Ambrose and Townsend. The values given for the critical volumes are thought to be wrong. The Joule-Thomson
measurements reported here cannot be fitted using values of
&, consistent with the second virial coefficient measurementsat low temperature. At high temperatures the reduced second virial coefficients converge into the corresponding-states curve previously obtained for argon. (r) As the temperature is decreased, deviations from this curve set in so rapidly that a simple smooth function of temperature cannot be fitted. Accordingly, a reference temperature TR was adopted below which a deviation occurs of the form (TJT- T,/TdB; this applies only at temperatures

The measurementsof 4 were fitted by least squaresto the combination of equations (12), (13), (14), and (16). A reference temperature Tt = 298.15 K was chosen for the sociation constants, the search parameters being a, p, and TRof equation (16) together with K3(Tt), K,(T'), AH,, and AH4 of equations (12) and (13). This, in common with other forms of equation also tried, shows that these results do not allow meaningful values of K3(Tt) and AH, to be obtained, the contribution from K,(T) being zero within experimental error. The pressure dependence of 4 is dominated by the K,(T) terms. Allowance for temperature dependenceof AH,, equivalent to a non-zero value of AC, for the formation of tetramers,(I 4, did not significantly improve the fit. The results obtained for the fitting parameters are shown in table 3. The values obtained from heat capacities by Counsel1 et a1.(4’5)are shown in brackets, and values of their parameter AS, have also been included. TABLE 3. Values of the fitting parameters.

6. Conclusions These measurementsare free from adsorption errors. Direct compressibility measurements of second virial coefficient are shown to be too negative, probably for this reason. The pair interactions in the two alcohols are in close conformity with each other at corresponding states at reduced temperatures above 0.65, and with the inert gases at reduced temperatures above 0.9. At lower temperatures the expected negative deviation for the larger molecule is found. The equation of state is dominated by association into tetramers at reduced temperatures below 0.6, this interaction being specific and not following corresponding states.The dominant association contribution to the Joule-Thomson coefficient makes extrapolation to zero pressure very uncertain at low temperatures.
