The thermodynamic properties of alcohol-hydrocarbon mixtures are explained on the basis of association of the alcohol to form polymers of all orders from two to infinity. Our treatment differs from that of Redlich and Kister in using the Flory-Huggins expression for free energy, and an equilibrium constant in terms of concentrations rather than mole fractions. The equations derived are in satisfactory agreement with vapor-pressure data for several systems. They also agree with the experimental energy of mixing and excess entropy for ethanol-methylcyclohexane solutions. For mixtures of alcohols with aromatic hydrocarbons, it is necessary to assume that each alcohol monomer or polymer can combine with one molecule of hydrocarbon.
vulcanization by polynitro compounds remains unchanged; Bruni and Geiger showed that the addition of nitrosobenzene to rubber involves no "net consumption of carbon to carbon unsaturation. If the same type of condensation occurs with the polynitroso compound, which we have considered to be formed from the polynitro compound, no change in unsaturation should be expected2.The foregoing hypothesis resembles only superficially one proposed by Ostromislensky (S3), who attempted to prove that polynitrobenzene vulcanization entails transfer of oxygen to the rubber:
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
