  • The CPE values calculated by Graph theory compare well with experimental values.

Abstract

The excess heat capacities, CPE, of binary 1-methyl pyrrolidin-2-one (i) + pyridine or α- or β- or γ-picoline (j) mixtures have been measured as a function of composition at 293.15, 298.15 and 303.15 K using micro differential scanning calorimeter (Model – μDSC 7 Evo). The CPE data have been fitted to Redlich–Kister equation to calculate binary adjustable parameters and standard deviations. The measured property of the studied mixtures has been analyzed in terms of Graph (which deals with the topology of the constituent of mixtures) theory. It has been observed that Graph theory describes well the CPE data of the investigated binary mixtures.

Introduction

The chemical industries have recognized the importance of the thermodynamic properties of liquid mixtures in design calculations involving chemical separations, heat transfer, mass transfer and fluid flow [1]. These properties provide information about the state of components as well as nature and extent of interactions operating among the constituent of mixtures. Heat capacities of liquid mixtures are required for the calculation of heat balances around the absorbers, regenerators and heat exchanges used in gas-treating industries [2]. 1-Methylpyrrolidin-2-one or its mixtures with organic liquids like benzene, methyl benzene, cyclohexane are used in the petrochemical industry in the extraction of aromatics and in the removal and purification of acetylene. 1-Methylpyrrolidin-2-one is also used in the manufacture of cosmetics, pigments, insecticides, herbicides and fungicides. In continuation of our work on thermodynamic properties of binary and ternary mixtures containing 1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one as one of the component [3], [4], we report here excess heat capacities, CPE, of 1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one (i) + pyridine or α- or β- or γ-picoline (j) mixtures. The topology (Graph theory) of the constituents of mixtures has been successfully utilized to determine excess molar volumes, VE, excess molar enthalpies, HE, excess Gibb's free energy, GE, and excess isentropic compressibilities, κSE, of the binary [5], [6], [7], [8], [9] as well as ternary [10], [11], [12], [13], [14] mixtures. An attempt has been made here to predict excess heat capacities, CPE, of the investigated binary liquid mixtures by employing topology of the constituent molecules.

Experimental

1-Methylpyrrolidin-2-one (NMP) (Fluka 0.99 GC), pyridine (Py) (Fluka, 0.99 GC), α-picoline (Fluka, 0.98 GC), β-picoline (Fluka, 0.99 GC) and γ-picoline (Fluka, 0.99 GC) were purified by standard methods [15]. The densities and speed of sound values of the purified liquids measured by using density and sound analyzer apparatus [16] (Anton Paar DSA 5000) at 298.15 ± 0.01 K are presented in Table 1 and also compared well with their literature values [6], [7]. The uncertainties in the density and

Results

The excess heat capacities, CPE, data of the investigated mixtures were determined from the following relationCPE=CPi=ijxi(CP)iwhere Cp, (Cp)i, (i = i or j), xi (i = i or j) denote heat capacity of the mixture, heat capacity of pure components and mole fraction of components respectively. Such CPE values for NMP (i) + Py or α- or β- or γ-picolines (j) mixtures are recorded in Table 2 and plotted in Fig. 3.

The CPE values for the present mixtures were expressed by Redlich–Kister equation [20]:CPE=

Discussion

No literature values of excess heat capacities, CPE, for the investigated mixtures at 293.15, 298.15 and 303.15 K were found for comparison with our measured CPE data. The CPE values for NMP (i) + Py or β- or γ-picoline (j) mixtures are positive over entire composition range. However CPE values for NMP (i) + α-picoline (j) mixture change sign from negative to positive with increase in mole fraction of NMP and for an equimolar composition CPE data for the present mixtures vary in the order β-picoline 

Conclusion

Excess heat capacities, CPE, of NMP (i) + Py or β- or γ-picolines (j) are positive over entire mole fraction range. However sign of CPE values for NMP (i) + α-picoline mixture is dictated by the concentration of NMP. The CPE data for the studied mixtures at equimolar composition vary as: β-picoline  γ-picoline > α-picoline > Py. The topology of the constituents of mixtures has been successfully employed to obtain expression that describes well the measured CPE data of the studied mixtures.
