Volumetric measurements under pressure for 2,2,4-trimethylpentane at temperatures up to 353.15 K and for benzene and three of their mixtures at temperatures up to 348.15 K

Abstract

p, V, T) data have been obtained in the form of volume ratios relative to 0.1 MPa for benzene (298.15 to 348.15K), 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (TMP) (313.15 to 353.15 K), and their mixtures near 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 mole fraction of benzene (313.15 to 348.15 K) for pressures up to near the freezing pressures for benzene and the mixtures, and up to 400 MPa for TMP. Isothermal compressibilities xx, isobaric expansivitie ~, changes in heat capacity at constant pressure ACp, and excess molar volumes V E have been determined from the data. Literature data at atmospheric pressure have been used to convert the ACp to Cp at several temperatures. The isobars for ~ over the temperature range 278.15 to 353.15 K for TMP intersect near 47 MPa and reverse their order in temperature when plotted against pressure; normalization of the ~'s by dividing the values at each temperature by the ~ at 0.1 MPa prevents both the intersection and the reversal of the order. The V E are positive and have an unusual dependence on pressure: they increase with temperature and pressure so that the order of the curves for 0.1, 50, and 100 MPa changes in going from 313.15 to 348.15 K.
