Abstract

The pressure dependence of the self-diffusion coefficients of several normal paraffin hydrocarbons and the isomers of hexane have been determined. In addition, the temperature dependence of self-diffusion coefficients has been measured for the isomers of hexane. Energies and volumes of activation have been calculated. With the exception of 2, 2-dimethyl butane, these parameters do not change significantly with branching in the isomers of hexane. The volumes of activation are about 10–20% of the molar volumes in all cases. Diffusion coefficients computed from a semiempirical modification of an equation derived by Longuet-Higgins and Pople are compared with the experimental results.
