Abstract

(Iodobenzene + n-alkane) liquid mixtures have been studied experimentally, in terms of densities and speeds of sound at a pressure = 0.1 MPa and in the temperature range = (288.15 to 308.15) K, and theoretically, by the application of the Prigogine-Flory-Patterson (PFP) model. The n-alkanes considered are n-heptane, n-decane, n-dodecane, and n-tetradecane. Excess molar volumes () and excess isentropic compressibilities () have been calculated and correlated by Redlich-Kister polynomials. curves at the same (p,T) conditions have been obtained from correlated values. From these experimental results and the knowledge of the excess molar enthalpies and volumes of mixtures containing fluorobenzene, chlorobenzene or bromobenzene with n-alkanes, we have inferred: (i) the presence of structural effects, especially important for the n-heptane mixture and less relevant for volumetric properties as the length of the n-alkane increases; and (ii) that the interactional effects on do not vary appreciably with the length of the n-alkane, so the observed variation is fundamentally determined by the corresponding variation of the contribution from structural effects. The application of the PFP model supports this interpretation, providing free volume contributions to that vary parallelly to with the length of the n-alkane, and interactional contributions that rest approximately constant independently of the n-alkane size.
