<b>Derived thermodynamic properties of [<i>o</i>-xylene or <i>p</i>-xylene + (acetic acid or tetrahydro-furan)] at different temperatures and pressures</b>

Abstract

Thermal expansion coefficients , their excess values , isothermal coefficient of pressure excess molar enthalpy , partial molar volumes and excess partial molar volumes , were calculated from experimental densities. The isothermal coefficients of pressure excess molar enthalpy for binary mixtures {o-xylene or p-xylene + acetic acid} at temperatures 313.15-473.15 K and pressure 0.2-2 MPa are negative and for binary mixtures {o-xylene or p-xylene + tetrahydrofuran (THF)} at temperatures 278. 15 K to 318.15 K and pressure 81.5 kPa are negative and with increasing temperature become more negative. The excess thermal expansions coefficient , for binary mixtures {o-xylene or p-xylene + acetic acid} at temperatures 313.15-473.15 K and pressure 0.2 MPa and 2 MPa are positive. The excess thermal expansions coefficient for binary mixtures {o-xylene or p-xylene + tetrahydrofuran (THF)} at temperatures 278.15-318.15 K and pressure 81.5 kPa are positive and with increasing temperature become more positive. The excess molar volumes were correlated with a Redlich–Kister type equation.
