Excess enthalpies of binary and ternary mixtures of acetonitrile with methanol, ethanol and benzene

Abstract

Excess molar enthalpies are measured for the binary mixtures methanol—acetonitrile and ethanol—acetonitrile at 25 and 35°C and for the ternary mixtures methanol—acetonitrile—benzene and ethanol—acetonitrile—benzene at 25°C using an isothermal dilution calorimeter. The binary results are well reproduced with an association model which contains four equilibrium constants for the association of alcohol, two equilibrium constants for that of acetonitrile, and two solvation equilibrium constants between alcohol and acetonitrile molecules. The ternary results are compared with those calculated from the model with binary parameters.
