. Can. J. Chem. 66, 531 (1988).Calorimetric measurements of excess enthalpies are reported over the entire compos~tion range for dibutyl ether + 11-heptane, + n-deeane, + n-dodecane, and + n-hexadecane at 298.15 K. The results are compared with data from the literature, and a correlation of the excess enthalpies of dibutyl ether + n-alkane mixtures in terms of the Flory theory is described. The excess thermodynamic properties of rz-ether + n-alkane mixtures have not been investigated sufficiently to provide a good understanding of the molecular interactions in such systems. Some progress has been made in the application of quasi-chemical models in terms of group surface interactions ( I ) , but further experimental studies are needed to adjust the values of the interchange coefficients to include steric and orientational effects ( 2 , 3).A recent paper (4) from our laboratory reported measurements of the excess enthalpies of the binary mixtures: diethyl ether + n-heptane, + n-decane, + n-dodecane, and + nhexadecane. As an extension of that investigation, we have determined the excess enthalpies of binary mixtures of dibutyl ether with the same set of rz-alkanes.
