Vapor pressures of binary mixtures of hexane + 1-butanol, + 2-butanol, + 2-methyl-1-propanol, or + 2-methyl-2-propanol at 298. 15 K

Previous papers from this laboratory reported measurements of excess enthalpies, excess volumes, vapor pressures, and dipole moments for mixtures containing an alkanol. The authors have now begun a systematic study of the properties of mixtures containing isomeric butanols. While many studies of the thermodynamic properties of 1-butanol have been published, only a few systematic investigations have been carried out for mixtures containing isomeric butanols. The total vapor pressures of binary mixtures of hexane + 1-butanol, + 2-butanol, + 2-methyl-1-propanol, or + 2-methyl-2-propanol were measured by a static method at 298.15 K. Vapor-phase compositions, activity coefficients, and excess molar Gibbs energies were calculated by Barker's method.
