Excess molar enthalpies and excess molar volumes of (water+octan-1-ol or +octan-2-ol) at 298.15 K

The excess molar enthalpies and volumes have been determined for the binary system (water+octan-1-ol or +octan-2-ol) by means of direct calorimetric and densimetric measurements in the miscibility range. The experimental data were described through a Redlich-Kister type equation. For excess enthalpies a sigmoidal shape is predicted, while excess volumes are negative except for a little positive queue observed for (water+octan-1-ol) system at very low water content. Also the partial molar enthalpies of solution and the partial molar volumes of water in the two isomeric octanols at infinite dilution have been evaluated and discussed. A comparison is made between excess enthalpies and excess free energies calculated by the UNIFAC method.
