Liquid heat capacity of the solvent system (piperazine + 2-amino-2-methyl-l-propanol + water)

Abstract

This report presents a new set of heat capacity data for the system piperazine {(PZ) + 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) + water (H 2O)}, measured using the differential scanning calorimetry technique, over the temperature range 303.2 K to 353.2 K and at fourteen (14) different concentrations in which the water mole fractions, x 3’s, were fixed at 0.60, 0.70, 0.80, and 0.90. Heat capacity for the binary system {PZ (1) + AMP (2)} at x 1 = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, and 0.20 were, likewise, measured to generate parameters necessary in the Redlich–Kister-type model, which was used to estimate excess molar heat capacities. Such estimates were then used to predict the values of the molar heat capacity at the corresponding sets of temperature and concentration. The predicted values were subsequently compared against the measured values and the results are satisfactory.
