Introduction
Industry demands reliable and accessible reference data on the thermodynamic properties of binary and ternary liquid mixtures. These properties are required for the development of thermodynamic models, engineering applications along with nature and extent of interactions in liquid mixtures. Cyclic ethers are useful solvents due to strong proton accepting ability. Furthers cyclic ether as alone or their mixtures with aromatic hydrocarbons, alkanols or n-alkanes are used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic processes. This has greatly stimulated the need for extensive information about thermodynamic properties of mixtures containing cyclic ether. In our systematic investigations of thermodynamic properties of binary and ternary mixtures containing cyclic ether, excess molar volumes, VE, excess molar enthalpies, HE, excess Gibbs free energies, GE and excess isentropic compressibilities, data of binary [1], [2], [3] and ternary [4], [5] mixtures have been analyzed in terms of Graph theory (which involves the topology of a molecule). In continuing with our study on thermodynamic properties of cyclic mixtures, we report here the densities, speeds of sound and excess molar enthalpies data of tetrahydropyran (i) + pyridine or α-, β- or γ-picoline(j) mixtures.

Experimental
Tetrahydropyran (THP) (Fluka, 98 mol.%), pyridine (Py) (Fluka, 99 mol.%), α-picoline (Fluka, 98 mol.%), β-picoline (Fluka, 98 mol.%), γ-picoline (Fluka, 99 mol.%) were purified by standard methods [6]. The purities of the purified liquids were checked by measuring their densities (recorded in Table 1) using Anton Parr DSA 5000 at 298.15 ± 0.01 K. These values agreed to within ±2 × 10−3 kg m−3 with their literature values [6], [7]. Excess molar enthalpies, HE for the studied mixtures were measured by a
Results
Densities, ρ and speeds of sound, u of THP (i) + Py or α-, β- or γ-picoline (j) binary mixtures at 298.15, 303.15 and 308.15 K and excess molar enthalpies, HE of the same set of mixtures at 308.15 K are listed in Table 2. Densities and speeds of sound values of mixtures were employed to predict excess molar volumes, VE and isentropic compressibilities, κS usingwhere ρ is the density of mixture and xi, Mi and ρi are the mole fraction, molar mass and density
Discussion
We are unaware of VE, HE and data of the studied mixtures with which to compare our results. Excess molar enthalpies, HE data of (i + j) mixtures are positive over entire composition range and for equimolar composition follow the order: α-picoline ≅ γ-picoline > Py > β-picoline. However, excess molar volumes, VE and excess isentropic compressibilities, values are negative over entire composition range and for equimolar composition vary in the order: Py > β-picoline > γ-picoline > α-picoline; β
Excess molar volumes
Graph theory deals with the topology of the constituents of mixtures. Topology of the pure (i) and (j) components changes on the addition of i to j or vice versa in (i + j) mixture. Since excess molar volumes, VE reflects change in topology of the constituents of mixtures, VE data of (i + j) mixtures were, therefore, analyzed in terms of Graph theory. According to this theory [17], VE is given bywhere xi is the mole fraction of the component (i) and αij is a constant
Excess molar volumes
According to this theory, excess molar volumes [27], VE is considered to be comprised of three contributions: (i) interaction contribution; (ii) free volume contribution; (iii) the contribution that depends on the difference in both internal pressure and reduced volumes of two components constituting binary mixtures. VE in terms of these three contributions is expressed as:where
