Excess Enthalpies for Binary Mixtures of the Reactive System Acetic Acid + n-Butanol + n-Butyl Acetate + Water: Brief Data Review and Results at 313.15 K and Atmospheric Pressure

Abstract

The data on molar excess enthalpies, HmE, for the binary mixtures acetic acid + n-butanol, acetic acid + n-butyl acetate and n-butanol + n-butyl acetate at 313.15 K and atmospheric pressure were obtained with use of the C80 isothermal mixing calorimeter (Setaram). The correlation of the data was carried out using the NRTL model and Redlich–Kister equation. A comparative analysis with the literature data on all available binary subsystems of the quaternary system was carried out. Other thermodynamic properties (Cp,mE, SmE, ΔmixSm, GmE and ΔmixGm) of the binary systems were estimated using literature data and well-known formulas of classical thermodynamics.
