Thermodynamic properties of ternary mixtures containing nitrobenzene

Abstract

Molar excess volumes, [Formula: see text], and molar excess enthalpies, [Formula: see text], of nitrobenzene (i) + benzene (j) + cyclohexane (k), nitrobenzene (i) + benzene (j) + n-hexane (k), and nitrobenzene (i) + benzene (j) + n-heptane (k) ternary mixtures have been determined dilatometrically and calorimetrically as a function of composition at 298.15 K. The data have been analyzed in terms of (i) the graph-theoretical approach and (ii) Flory's Theory. It has been observed that [Formula: see text], data calculated by graph theoretical as well as Flory's approach compare well with their corresponding experimental values. Keywords: molar excess volumes, molar excess enthalpies, specific interactions, molar volume interaction parameter, molar interaction enthalpy parameter.
