Abstract
The cell theory description of liquids previously developed by Lee, Greenkorn, and Chao from consideration of the interactions of the structural groups of the molecules is extended to include the mechanical properties (alpha, beta, gamma) of the normal and branched alkanes as well as their densities and heats of vaporization. The usefulness of the cell theory equations as developed by Lee et al., and of the theory re-expressed in the form of a series is investigated and compared in this work with the properties of the n-alkane liquids, including the molal volume, heat of vaporization, and the mechanical properties. The interaction properties of the methane group and quaternary carbon are evaluated in Pt. 2 of this work in order to extend the theory to the description of branched chain alkanes.
