Abstract

The excess enthalpies, HE, at 298.15 K for binary mixtures of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (TCE) + an hydrocarbon (n-heptane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, ethyl-, n-propyl-, iso-propyl-, n-butyl-, sec-butyl-, and tert-butylbenzene) have been measured by flow microcalorimetry. All mixtures containing an aromatic hydrocarbon as second constituent exhibit negative HE, while mixtures with n-heptane or cyclohexane are endothermic. The HE data have been analysed in terms of the DISQUAC model. Using a limited number of adjusted interchange energy parameters, C, taken as structure dependent, the model provides a fairly consistent description of HE as a function of concentration. The enthalpies of solvation, ΔH°, of hydrocarbons in TCE, as obtained from heats of solution at infinite dilution and known vaporization enthalpies, have been described using an additive scheme of surface interactions. The effects of aromatic ring, chain lengthening, branching, and cyclization on both HE and ΔH° have been discussed.

Introduction

In continuation of our studies [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7] on the excess thermodynamic properties HE, GE, and VE [4] of chloroalkanes (tetrachloromethane [1], [2], [3], [4], [6], chloroform [7], dichloromethane [5], 1,2-dichloroethane [7], 1-chlorobutane [5]) mixed with organic compounds (alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones), we have started a similar investigation on binary mixtures containing 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (TCE).

As the first results, in this paper we report excess enthalpies HE for TCE + an aromatic hydrocarbon (benzene, toluene, ethyl-, n-propyl-, iso-propyl-, n-butyl-, sec-butyl-, and tert-butyl-benzene). Measurements of HE have been carried out also for TCE + a linear alkane (n-heptane) and + a cyclic alkane (cyclohexane). Among the examined systems, heats of mixing are reported in the literature only for TCE + cyclohexane [8], +benzene [8], [9], and +toluene [10]. For this latter they have erroneous large values.

The dispersive–quasi-chemical model DISQUAC [11] has been applied to examined mixtures with the aim of reproducing HE curves and of characterizing the interchange energy between chlorine atoms of TCE and π-electrons of aromatic hydrocarbons. The model, that for different surface contacts generates two sets of parameters, dispersive and quasi-chemical, has been successfully employed to analyse the excess properties of many classes of polar + non-polar systems [11], [12], [13], [14], [15].

From partial molar enthalpies at infinite dilution and from the known enthalpies of vaporization, the enthalpies of solvation ΔH° have been evaluated either for hydrocarbons in TCE and TCE in hydrocarbons. An additive scheme of surface interactions is presented to estimate different group (CH3, CH2, CH, C, cy-CH2, CHar, Car, OH) contributions to ΔH°.

The interchange energy parameters Csv obtained from HE together with group contributions Bj to ΔH° have been analysed, and the effects of chemical structure (benzene ring, chain lengthening, branching, and cyclization) on both HE and ΔH° have been discussed.

Instrumentation

Heats of mixing were determined by means of a flow micro-calorimeter (model 2277, LKB-producer AB, Bromma, Sweden). The apparatus and the experimental procedure are described in detail elsewhere [16]. Fully automatic burets (ABU80, Radiometer, Copenhagen) were used to pump the liquid into the LKB unit. The molar flow rate mi (mol s−1), of component i flowing into the mixing cell is given bymi=ΦiρiMiwhere Φi is the volumetric flow rate, ρi the density and Mi is the molar mass. The necessary

Results

The experimental HE data are collected in Table 2 and plotted in Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 for almost all systems examined. The HE values were fitted to the smoothing Redlich–Kister equation:HE=x1x2j=0n1aj(x1x2)jwhere x1 is the mole fraction of TCE and n is the number of coefficients. As objective function, the ratio HE/x1x2 has been chosen instead of HE to evaluate ajs. This ratio tends to emphasise the dilute regions, whilst fitting to HE may result in large relative errors on HE of the

The DISQUAC model

DISQUAC is an extended quasi-chemical group-contribution model based on Guggenheim's lattice theory [11], [26]. In the classical model [27], molecules are assumed to possess one of several types of contacts s or v and occupy the sites of a lattice with coordination number z. The type of lattice and the assignment of contact points are arbitrary and irrelevant in applications to liquid mixtures and can be avoided by using the group–surface interaction version of the theory [28]. In the classical

      Moreover, to calculate the thermodynamic properties of cumene, the results of density measurements at atmospheric pressure [44–54] and compressed liquid densities [55,56], as well as data on the speed of sound at atmospheric pressure [57–59] and measurements of isobaric heat capacity [57,60–63] were used. We did not find data on the thermodynamic properties of a compressed liquid for tert-butylbenzene in the literature, therefore, to calculate their thermodynamic properties, we used data of other authors on the density [50,53,64–70], on the speed of sound [59,71], and on the isobaric heat capacity [61,70], obtained only at atmospheric pressure. The values of the critical temperature for n-hexadecane were taken from [72], for cumene from [73], and for tert-butylbenzene from [70].

      In the literature, the values of compressed liquid densities of tert-butylbenzene were not found. Therefore, only the available liquid density data of other authors [48,51,56–62] at atmospheric pressure for tert-butylbenzene are compared with the values obtained using Eq. (13). The results of the comparison are shown in Fig. 6.
