Abstract
The excess molar enthalpies H m E, for the mixtures ( N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone + ethanol, or pentan-1-ol, or hexan-1-ol, or heptan-1-ol, or octan-1-ol, or nonal-1-ol, or decan-1-ol, or undecan-1-ol) at T=298.15 K and atmospheric pressure have been obtained using flow calorimetry. Excess molar volumes at T=298.15 K and atmospheric pressure have also been determined for ( N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone + nonal-1-ol, or decan-1-ol, or undecan-1-ol) from density measurements using a vibrating tube densimeter. The experimental results have been correlated and compared with the results from the Flory–Benson–Treszczanowicz (FBT) theory and from the Extended Real Associated Solution (ERAS) model. The ERAS model accounts free volume effects according to the Flory–Patterson model and additionally association effects between the molecules involved. For the mixtures studied here the association effects arise from the self association of an alkan-1-ol molecules and also the cross-association of the proton of the alkan-1-ol with carbonyl oxygen of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) molecule. The parameters adjusted to the mixtures properties are two cross-association parameters and the interaction parameter responsible for the exchange energy of the van der Waals interactions. Self-association parameters of the alcohols and NMP are taken from the literature.
