Enthalpies of mixing and intermolecular interactions in the 1-octanol-dimethylformamide system at 298–318 K

Abstract

The heat effects of solution of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and 1-octanol (OctOH) in the DMF (1)-OctOH (2) system are measured over the range of compositions using a variable-temperature isothermal-shell calorimeter at 298, 308, and 318 K. The partial molar enthalpies of the binary mixture components and the enthalpies and heat capacities of mixing are determined. It is found that the amide-alcohol mixing is strongly endothermic and very weakly depends on temperature. The enthalpy and specific heat parameters of binary and ternary interactions between the DMF molecules in OctOH and the OctOH molecules in DMF are determined in terms of the virial expansion technique, and it is shown that the two nonelectrolytes exhibit a tendency to homoassociation.
