Short communicationExcess molar enthalpies of methylformate + (1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol and 1-pentanol) at T = 298.15 K, p = (5.0, 10.0) MPa, and methylformate + 1-propanol at T = 333.15 K, p = 10.0 MPa
Introduction
For proper design of chemical processes and to test theories of solution, there is a constant need for thermodynamic excess enthalpy data. To determine the influence of temperature and pressure on the excess molar enthalpy, and to overcome the lack of the data on mixtures of ester and alcohols at high pressure, excess molar enthalpies of five binary systems for methylformate and (1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol and 1-pentanol) were determined at T = (298.15, 333.15) K and p = (5.0, 10.0) MPa. The excess molar enthalpy of methylformate and 1-propanol at T = 298.15 K and p = 0.1 MPa was reported in literature [1]. But the published data were determined at ambient pressure.

Chemicals
In all experiments, methylformate (A.R. grade) and alcohols (A.R. grade) were dried with the help of molecular sieves (3 Å) and filtered by Millipore filter (0.45 μm).
Apparatus
A commercial isothermal calorimeter (model IMC 4400, Calorimetry Sciences Corporation, USA) was used in these measurements. The flow-mixing system consists of a sample cell and a reference cell (model CSC 4442), two syringe pumps (model 260D, ISCO Inc., USA) with a resolution of 0.1 μL min−1, and a back pressure regulator (model CSC
Results
Excess molar enthalpies of methylformate and (1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol and 1-pentanol) at T = (298.15, 333.15) K and p = (5.0, 10.0) MPa are listed in Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, Table 4, Table 5. Experimental results were fitted to a Redlich–Kister polynomial:Table 6 contains the parameters of Redlich–Kister equation and standard deviations (S.D.). The experimental data from Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, Table 4, Table 5 are plotted in Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3.
Discussion
All the binary systems showed endothermic and symmetrical behavior over the whole mole fraction range. The explanation of the above behavior is thought to be steric interactions. The most important molecular associations in the pure liquids are through hydrogen bonds in the alcohols and dipole–dipole interactions between molecules of ester. The main interactions in the hydrogen bonds are those between the oxygen atoms of the ester group and hydrogen atoms of the alcohol hydroxyl group [3]. The
