. Can. J. Chem. 72, 11 11 (1994).Calorimetric measurements of excess enthalpies are reported for the three ternary systems (1-propanol + methyl tert-butyl ether + (n-hexane, or 2,3-dimethylbutane, or cyclohexane)) at 298.15 K. Smoothing equations, fitted to the results, were used to construct constant enthalpy contours on a Roozeboom diagram for each of the systems.
ExperimentalComponent liquids Anhydrous 1-propanol (PrOH) and methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) were obtained from the Aldrich Chemical Co. Pure Grade n-hexane (n-C6), 2,3-dimethylbutane (br-C6), and cyclohexane (c-C6) were obtained from the Phillips Chemical Co. All of these materials had stated purities exceeding 99 mol%. Their densities, measured at 298.15 K in an Anton-Paar digital densimeter, were 799.64, 735.56, 655.04, 657.13, and 774.04 kg m-3 for PrOH, MTBE, n-C6, br-C6, and c-C6, respectively. These are in reasonable agreement with the values 799.75, 735.3, 654.84, 657.02, and 773.89 kg mP3, compiled by the TRC (3, 4).
Calorimetric measurementsExcess molar enthalpies HE at 298.15 f 0.005 K were measured in an LKB flow microcalorimeter. Details of the equipment and its operation have been described previously (5, 6). In studying the ternary systems, the excess molar enthalpy HE was measured for several pseudo-binary systems in which comp'iint 1 (PrOH) was added to binary mixtures of components 2 (MTBE) and 3 (n-C6, or br-C6, or c-C6) having a fixed mole ratio ~2 1 .~3 .These binaries were prepared by weighing. The excess molar enthalpy HE,,23 of the ternary system is then given by the relation where HElz3 is the excess molar enthalpy of the particular (MTBE + C6-hydrocarbon) binary. Over most of the PrOH mole fraction range, the errors of HE,,+,, are about 0.5% or 2 J mol-', whichever is larger. and [3] with HE,, from the footnote of Table 1.
