INTRODUCTION In this work, we develop a model for the residual heat capacity of a pure liquid, C res p , based on a simple statistical mechanical two-state model for its associational part, . When C res,ass is added to the ideal gas heat capacity C res,ass p p id C p , the experimental C op,m (T) dependences 共i兲–共iii兲 are described. Furthermore, the existence of C op,m (T) curves with 共iv兲 a concave to convex inflection point 共as T increases兲 and 共v兲 a maximum, are predicted. Literature data for long chain 1-alcohols confirmed the existence of type 共iv兲 C op,m (T) dependence. Examples of type 共v兲 C op,m (T) curves are not available in the literature, but their existence was experimentally corroborated here through the measurement of heat capacities for highly sterically hindered alcohols. Very recently, C op,m (T) data at high pressures for n-alkanes6 –9 and for 1-alcohols10 have been reported. In the 1-alcohols case, the C op,m (T) curve displays a shallow maximum followed by an also shallow minimum as the temperature increases. This behavior can also be described by the model presented here. The model is applied to several series of substances allowing us to evaluate its parameters, whose physical meaning and reliability are examined in detail. It will be shown that the qualitative and quantitative analysis presented here provides a general framework for understanding all the experimentally found C op,m (T) dependences for associated pure liquids. The isobaric molar heat capacities, C op,m , for a large number of pure substances in the liquid state have been assembled and critically reviewed in a series of compilations1,2 and comprehensive databases.3 An inspection of this information shows that, at atmospheric pressure, the temperature dependence of the isobaric heat capacity, i.e., the experimental C op,m (T) curves, can take several forms,4 namely 共i兲 monotonically increasing curves, 共ii兲 curves with a shallow minimum, and 共iii兲 curves with an inflection point 共convex to concave, as T increases兲. In Ref. 4, an additional type of temperature dependence was discussed, but this is outside the scope of this work.5 Although for some substances molecular level rationalizations have been given for these C op,m (T) dependences, no attempt to understand the variety of C op,m (T) behaviors in a unified form has been reported. In fact, it has been argued4 that there is no general relationship for the description of the several experimental C op,m (T) curves. a兲 Present address: Unidad Queretaro del CINVESTAV, Apdo.

It is can be clear then that, to a good first approximation, C res,ns p considered as temperature independent. This approximation receives support from the observation that for substances devoid of any association such as branched alkanes, C res p changes very slightly with temperature,1–3 and from the fact that successful theories for nonassociating liquids, such as Flory theory,11 predicts that C res p must be almost temperature independent. For a nonassociated liquid the temperature dependence of C op,m is then dominated by C id p (T), i.e., /dT. In contrast, for an associated liquid dC op,m /dT⬵dC id p o id res,ass dC p,m /dT⬵dC p /dT⫹dC p /dT. Hence, in order to describe the several experimentally found C op,m (T) curves it is (T). This is done in necessary to develop a model for C res,ass p the following subsection. II. THE MODEL B. A simple statistical mechanical two-state model for C res,ass p A. Partitioning of the heat capacity of a liquid Using the ideal gas as a reference state, the isobaric heat capacity of a liquid C op,m can be expressed as res C op,m ⫽C id p ⫹C p . 共1兲 In Eq. 共1兲, the first contribution is the ideal gas heat capacity, C id p , which depends on molecular degrees of freedom but not on molecular interactions. C id p always increases with temperature 共with a small curvature兲 and with molecular size whereas dC id p /dT increases with molecular size. The second contribution, C res p , is the residual heat capacity, which can be modeled starting from the following exact thermodynamic relation: 冋 冉 冊 册冉 冊 C op,m ⫺C id p ⫽⫺ 共 d⌬H vap /dT 兲 sat⫹ V⫺T V T p dp dT . 共2兲 sat Away from critical conditions, the second term in Eq. 共2兲 is negligible and thus C res p equals, to a very good first approximation, the temperature derivative of the enthalpy of vaporization. Since ⌬H vap is a configurational property, C res p can be split into two contributions as res,ass C res ⫹C res,ns , p ⫽C p p C res,ass p 共3兲 arises from the self-association of molecules in where the pure liquid—a definition of what is meant in this work by association is detailed in the next section—and C res,ns arises p from nonspecific contributions i.e., from weak London dispersion forces, long-range electrostatic forces and free voland C res,ass can ume effects. The relative importance of C res,ns p p be explored using data for two liquids whose ideal gas heat capacity are similar but differ markedly in their association ability, namely a strongly associated liquid 共1-hexanol兲 and a liquid where association is absent 共n-heptane兲. Figure 1共a兲 Steming from their simplicity and ability to capture the essential elements of the physical behavior of the systems, two state models have been widely employed to study many phenomena such as protein unfolding,12 conformational changes in liquid polymers,13 cluster aggregation,14 the hydrophobic effect in aqueous solutions,15 the anomalous properties of pure water,16 the behavior of rotational isomers,17 the effects of vacant sites in crystals,18 etc. In this context, the novelty of the present work consists of the application of a two-state model to the description of the isobaric heat capacity of pure liquids. The employment of a two-state model to study the heat capacity behavior of associated mixtures was embodied, but just qualitatively explored, in early reports.19 More recently, it was also employed in order to qualitatively explain the temperature dependence of the excess molar isobaric heat capacity of alkanol⫹alkane mixtures.20 In order to model the associational part of the residual heat capacity, it is first necessary to define what is understood by association. In this work, we consider that the molecules in the bulk of the liquid are associated when the intermolecular forces are of such magnitude, beyond a certain critical lower limit, that an aggregate or collective of molecules is formed. This molecular aggregate must be such that a new ‘‘species,’’ constituted by two or more of the individual molecules 共monomers兲, can be detected through the measurement of some property of the system, spectroscopic or thermodynamic. This is an operational definition since it depends on the present detection limits of the experimental techniques that, clearly, are continuously improving. If there is not experimental evidence of the existence of such new species, the liquid is regarded as nonassociated. On the other Downloaded 14 Apr 2004 to 132.248.175.160.

Phys., Vol. 120, No. 14, 8 April 2004 hand, if such evidence is present the liquid is considered as associated. There are varying strengths of association in pure liquids, from the weak association between molecules in pure long chain linear alkanes19,21 共termed orientational order or correlation of molecular orientations兲 to the strong association between alcohol molecules 共hydrogen bonds兲. In microscopic terms, association can be modeled considering that individual molecules in the liquid are in different states depending on whether they are or not part of a molecular aggregate. This is the basis of the simple model presented here. We assume that each molecule in the liquid is capable of two energy levels corresponding to the associated state (A i ) with energy ⑀ A i and the dissociated monomer 共A兲 with energy ⑀ A (⌬ ⑀ ⫽ ⑀ A ⫺ ⑀ A i ⬎0). Volume and enthalpy changes (⌬ v and ⌬h) between the two levels are also considered, such that ⌬ ⑀ ⫽⌬h⫺ P⌬ v . We further assume that there are many molecular geometries 共position of atoms, bond angles, etc.兲 which are compatible with each of the two states. We describe this with the degeneracy numbers g A and g A i , which represent the number of different accessible 共or possible兲 molecular arrangements or geometries with energies ⑀ A and ⑀ A i , enthalpies h A and h A i and volumes v A and v A i , respectively. In congruence with their significance, g A Ⰷg A i , i.e., the number of accessible geometries for a molecule abruptly decreases in going from the dissociated or monomeric state to the associated state, owing to the directional character of the intermolecular interactions producing association. With this consideration, the isothermal–isobaric . We consider N molensemble was used to obtain C res,ass p ecules in the liquid as independent identical objects.

These trends indicate that r can be considered as a measure of the selfassociation capability of the molecules. This is seen in Eq. 共7兲 that indicates that at constant T and ⌬H, as r decreases the fraction of molecules on the associated state is increased, as illustrated in Fig. 2共b兲. In other words, small r values correspond to a high self-association capability. An increase of the r value might occur as a result of a decrease in g A i owing to either a sterical hindrance or an increase in molecular size, that impose a reduction in the number of ‘‘successful’’ geometries or arrangements in which two or more molecules can associate.

Examples of type 共v兲 C op,m (T) curves have been experimentally found for the first time in this work22 using a highly accurate differential scanning calorimeter and are shown below 共Fig. 7兲. For an homologous series of substances where ⌬H is expected to be constant, as molecular size increases C op,m (T) Heat capacity of associated liquids 6651 must change following case 1 in Fig. 3共b兲, i.e., change from a type 共i兲 behavior to 共iii兲, then to 共iv兲 and, finally, for very large size members return to being type 共i兲. This is the case of the series of 1-alcohols in Fig. 4共a兲 where the association is strong and takes place through O–H¯O hydrogen bonds. If ⌬H is small, as for the homologous series of 1-thiols where association takes place through weak S–H¯S hydrogen bonds, a type 共ii兲 behavior is expected to occur. This is illustrated for three short chain 1-thiols in Fig. 4共b兲. For substances where r is large, the importance of C res,ass increases p 关compare curves A and C in Fig. 2共a兲兴 producing a maximum in C op,m (T); this is the case of highly sterically hindered alcohols 共Fig. 7兲. It appears that the particular C op,m (T) displayed by a given substance depends on the association enthalpy ⌬H and r, the self-association capability that itself depends on molecular geometry and size. On the other hand, C id p (T) depends on molecular size that, in turn, influences the temperature range where the substance is in the liquid state. An examination of the available data in the literature1–3 and the present experimental results shows that at atmospheric pressure the majority of substances belong to only one of the five types of C op,m (T) dependences. In other words, at atmospheric pressure the continuous change from one type of curve to another is interrupted by the melting and boiling points. However, since application of pressure increases the temperature range for the substance to be in the liquid state, the C op,m (T) behavior under those conditions might include more than one region in Fig. 3共b兲. The appearance of a multiregion C op,m (T), which is far from being a common occurrence at atmospheric pressure, should be more widespread at elevated pressures. III. DISCUSSION A.

For with ⌬H, r and C res,ns p C op,m (T), no direct experimental data from the original literature sources were used but rather we employed polynomials that correlate the experimental data.1–3 To construct these polynomials, all the available data were carefully evaluated using several criteria and classified according to their accuracy. In all cases, we used the most recently reported correlating polynomial. For C id p (T), we used the polynomials given in Ref. 3. In some cases, these polynomials were used below the lower temperature bound were they are reported as valid 共sometimes, a hundred degrees below兲; according to the researchers that created Ref. 3, this is a valid and safe extrapolation.23 For the sterically hindered alcohols 3-ethyl3-pentanol and 5-methyl-5-nonanol the polynomials for Downloaded 14 Apr 2004 to 132.248.175.160.

Phys., Vol. 120, No. 14, 8 April 2004 C id p (T) are not given in Ref. 3; hence, they were estimated using a group contribution method.24 Both C op,m (T) and C id p (T) were evaluated every degree. In Refs. 1–3 there is a large number of substances for which C op,m data are available. Unfortunately, for many of them C op,m is only reported at a single temperature. From the subset where C op,m (T) data are accessible, in this quantitative analysis we have considered some individual liquids as well as several homologous series of substances, covering from weakly to strongly associated liquids and from atmospheric to elevated pressures. Our main selection criteria to include a given substance in this analysis were the accuracy of the data and the size of the temperature interval where data are available. The later criteria is very important since unless the temperature range is large, there is not enough information in the input C res p data to have reasonable confidence in the output values of the adjusted parameters. Also, whenever possible we preferred to study liquids belonging to a homologous series rather than individual substances. This allowed us to disregard data for a given member共s兲 of the series whose C res p (T) data were clearly outside the general trend, to test the internal consistency and physical significance of the fitted parameters within the series, and to reach general conclusions regarding that particular family of compounds. The in Eq. 共8兲 reported and disparameters ⌬H, r, and C res,ns p cussed below were obtained using the software Origin 5.0. B. The series of n-alkanes Depolarized Rayleigh scattering and thermodynamic measurements have shown that there are short-range correlations of the molecular orientations 共c.m.o.兲 in n-alkanes (n-Cn ) liquids.21 These correlations are between segments and require an anisotropy of shape. This weak association is then present in the linear n-Cn , particularly in long chain ones, and absent in branched alkanes. Because of their weak nature, the c.m.o. have a small effect on the heat capacity of the pure n-Cn , but they are clearly revealed in the excess heat capacities when they are mixed with a globular molecule such as cyclohexane.21 It is then interesting to test the performance of the present model for these weak associations. The weak character of the c.m.o. implies that the C op,m (T) for pure n-Cn liquids are type 共i兲 curves located in the right-hand-side of curve 1 in Fig. 3共b兲, and their associational residual heat capacities belong to the high temperature peak, as shown in Fig. 5共a兲 for n-octane side of the C res,ass p and n-hexadecane. For these two n-alkanes Figs. 5共b兲 and 5共c兲 shows the partitioning of the heat capacity according to Eq. 共1兲 and the experimental C op,m (T), respectively. Table I reports the model parameters obtained using Eq. 共8兲 for nine n-Cn liquids. Both, ⌬H and r are seen to increase with molecular size. As the chain length of the n-Cn increases, the number of geometries in which n-Cn molecules can associate decrease 共respect to those available as monomer兲 and hence r increases. The increase of ⌬H values is due to the segmental character of the c.m.o., i.e., as the chain length increases these associations are more numerous. Compared to the values obtained for stronger associations such as H-bonding 共see below兲, the ⌬H and r values in Table I are Cerdeiriña et al.

It also displays the results of calculations using Flory theory,11 that directly provide the residual heat capacities. These calculations were done in temperature intervals that are close to those used to fit the n-Cn C res p data 共see Table I and Fig. 6 caption兲, using the thermal expansion coefficients, isothermal compressibilities and molar volumes given in Ref. 25. It was found that the residual heat capacities from Flory theory change very little with T as indicated by Fig. 6 where only the results for the lowest and highest temperature used are shown. In Flory theory only weak dispersion forces, not able to produce association, are taken into account. In fact, the discovery of the correlations of molecular orientations in long n-Cn liquids was mainly based on the contrast between the experimental results and the predictions from Flory theory that, in the absence of those association, is able to give good predictions of the excess thermodynamics functions.21 The excellent accordance between the fitted and the Flory theory calculations seen in Fig. 6 imply C res,ns p that, as assumed when developing the two state model, most of C res,ns is effectively due to weak dispersion forces and free p volume effects. It also implies that the partitioning of the Downloaded 14 Apr 2004 to 132.248.175.160. Redistribution subject to AIP license or copyright, see http://jcp.aip.org/jcp/copyright.jsp J. Chem.

The series of 1-alcohols For the series of linear alcohols (Cn OH) accurate heat capacity data are available in wide temperature intervals. However, for n⫽9, 11, 14, and 15 the calculated C res p clearly do not to follow the general trend observed for the other twelve members of the series studied here, and hence they were not used in the quantitative analysis. For these four 1-alcohols, this result might be due to the inaccuracy of the o id starting data to obtain C res p , i.e., C p,m (T) and C p (T), the former being the most probable source of their nonconsonant behavior.

For 共c.m.o.兲 did not produce n⫽6 – 8, the employment of C res,ass p better fittings and hence it can be considered that the c.m.o. are clearly only present for 1-alcohols with n⭓10. Given this situation, we performed a global fitting for the Cn OH series where C res p for n⫽1 – 8 was obtained using Eq. 共8兲 and for 共c.m.o.兲 contribution was considered as den⭓10 the C res,ass p scribed above. For 1-tridecanol and 1-octadecanol, the ⌬H and r values for the corresponding n-alkanes were estimated from linear regressions of each of these parameters against n, using the data in Table I. The results from this global fitting are given in Table II and illustrated, for the total heat capacity C op,m (T), in Fig. 4共a兲. The common ⌬H value for 1-alcohols in Table II corresponds to strong association via hydrogen bonding. It is satisfactory that this ⌬H value is in agreement with many other estimates for the enthalpy of H-bond formation in 1-alcohols,26 including that obtained from the statistical associating fluid theory 共SAFT兲.27 It is also in agreement with the hydrogen bond energies estimated in this work using quantum mechanics second-order Møller–Plesset 共MP2兲 ab initio calculations.22 The r values in Table II increase linearly with the alcohol chain length and are much bigger than those for the corresponding n-alkanes 共see Table I兲. As in the n-Cn series, the increase of r values with 1-alcohol chain length is due to a decrease in the number of possible molecular arrangements in which the molecules can associate 共respect to those available as monomer兲. On the other hand, the increase of r values in going from the n-Cn to the Cn OH can be understood considering that for a given n value while the g A values remain essentially constant, the g A i values decrease significantly owing to the directional character of the H-bonds producing the associated multimers in the alcohol. contriAs discussed above in a qualitative form, the C res,ass p butions in Fig. 7共a兲 are responsible for the temperature dependences of the total heat capacities seen in Fig. 4共a兲. In maximum for Fig. 7共a兲, the low temperature C res,ass p 1-decanol is due to the existence of the c.m.o. in this long chain alcohol 共see previous subsection兲. The results in Figs. 7共b兲 and 7共c兲 will be discussed in detail below, in the context of the obtained results for branched alcohols. As expected, in increase linearly with the alcohol chain Table II the C res,ns p length. The slope of the straight line through these data, 4.6 ⫾0.3 J K⫺1 mol⫺1, represents the contribution of a CH2 group to the heat capacity arising from weak dispersion forces, long-range interactions and free volume effects. In the case of the n-alkanes, this same contribution 共slope of the straight line in Fig. 6兲 is evaluated to be 3.9⫾0.3 J K⫺1 mol⫺1. The reasonable consistency between these two values is another indication of the soundness of the partitioning of the heat capacity expressed by Eqs. 共1兲 and 共3兲. D. The series of 1-thiols For the series of linear 1-thiols (Cn SH) accurate heat capacity data are available in wide temperature intervals for n⫽1 to 6, 7, and 10. Due to the weak S–H¯S hydrogen bonding present in these substances, they exist in the liquid state only at low temperatures. The short-chain thiols C op,m (T) display a minimum, i.e., a type 共ii兲 curve, as shown in Fig. 4共b兲. The three model parameters were preliminary fitted in an individual manner, i.e., to each 1-thiol, finding that the ⌬H values increase with n, from ⬃2600 J mol⫺1 for methanethiol to ⬃8100 J mol⫺1 for 1-decanethiol; the r values also increase with n, their magnitude being much smaller than for the corresponding 1-alcohols. The small values for ⌬H were expected for these substances where association takes place through weak S–H¯S hydrogen bonds. However, if association were to be the dominant factor determining C op,m (T), a common ⌬H would have been found in these individual fittings for the 1-thiols, as it was the case for the 1-alcohols. Under these conditions, i.e., small ⌬H and r values reflecting weak association between 1-thiol molecules, it is possible that the assumption of a temperature independent is no longer adequate. We postulate that for 1-thiols C res,ns p res,ass and C res,ns , contribute both contributions to C res p , i.e., C p p significantly to the temperature dependence of C op,m .

The results were that for n ⫽1 – 6, the ⌬H values were very close implying that, as with the 1-alcohols, it is possible to perform a global fitting for the series of Cn SH using a common ⌬H value. The results from this global fitting are given in Table III and illustrated, for the total heat capacity C op,m (T), in Fig. 4共b兲. For n⫽7 and 10, the four parameter fitting produced larger ⌬H values than for the smaller members of the series, and for this reason they were not used for the global fitting with a shared ⌬H. It is possible that this failure is due to the fact that for these 1-thiols, especially for n⫽10, the correlations of molecular orientations modeled above for the n-alkane series can be relatively important. In this context, it appears that 1-decanethiol can be considered a borderline case. For this thiol, C op,m (T) must be the result of a delicate balance between several weakly temperature dependent contributions, that the simple partitioning expressed by Eqs. 共1兲 and 共3兲 is not able to capture satisfactorily. The parameters in Table III indicate that the association enthalpy ⌬H for the 1-thiols is much smaller than that for the 1-alcohols. This is also the result obtained for the hydrogen bond energies from quantum mechanics MP2 ab initio calculations.22 The weakness of the association produced by S–H¯S hydrogen bonds is also reflected in the small r values. The C 2 values are small indicating a weak temperature that, however, is necessary to consider dependence for C res,ns p in order to reach an adequate description of C op,m (T). For the C n SH series, the associational residual heat capacities belong peak. This is to the high temperature side of the C res,ass p for 1-propanethiol is conshown in Fig. 8共a兲 where C res,ass p trasted with that for 1-propanol that, as discussed above, bepeak. For longs to the low temperature side of the C res,ass p these two substances, Fig. 8共b兲 displays the two contributions to the heat capacity according to Eq. 共1兲, indicating that while the temperature dependences of C id p are similar, those are opposite, producing entirely different temperafor C res p ture dependences for their total heat capacities, C op,m , shown in Fig. 8共c兲. The results in Fig. 8 stress again the capability of the present model to describe different C op,m (T) in a concerted form 关in this case, types 共i兲 and 共ii兲 curves兴. E. Branched alcohols. The C po , m „ T … maximum Apparent molar heat capacity measurements for secondary and tertiary alcohols mixed with inert solvents, per- formed at very low alcohol concentrations and at 298 K, have shown that the sterical hindrance over the hydroxyl group of the branched alcohols reduce their association capability while their ⌬H values remain practically constant and close to the value for linear alcohols.28 In terms of the two state model, a reduction on the association ability must be reflected in larger r values. Under these conditions, i.e., a large r value and a ⌬H equal or close to that for 1-alcohols, (T) will display a for an sterically hindered alcohol C res,ass p sharper peak 共with its maximum at lower temperatures兲 than for its corresponding isomeric 1-alcohol 关see Fig. 2共a兲兴.

In order to test this prediction by the two state model, in this work C op,m (T) were measured for three branched alcohols, namely 3-methyl-3-pentanol 共3M3P兲, 3-ethyl-3-pentanol 共3E3P兲 and 5-methyl-5-nonanol 共5M5N兲. Both the obtained data as well as experimental procedures can be found in Ref. 22. The experimental C op,m (T) results corroborate the existence of such a maximum for 3M3P and 3E3P, the latest being displayed in Fig. 7共c兲. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that such C op,m (T) behavior has been clearly observed. The model parameters for 3M3P, 3E3P, and 5M5N as well as for another eight branched alcohols are given in Table IV as obtained from individual fittings. In Table IV, the ⌬H values 共average is 21 763 J mol⫺1兲 are seen to be close to the value for 1-alcohols; this is also observed with the hydrogen bond energies from quantum mechanics MP2 ab initio calculations.22 In contrast, most of the r values in Table IV are bigger for the branched alcohol than for the corresponding linear isomers 共see Table II兲. The increase of r values is due to the sterical hindrance over the hydroxyl group that, in terms of the present model, produces a decrease in the number of molecular arrangements in which the branched alcohol molecules are able to associate 共respect to those for the linear isomer兲. This is notorious for the highly branched tertiary alcohols 3M3P and 3E3P whose r values are 3.4 and 4.7 times bigger than for 1-hexanol and 1-heptanol, respectively. For a constant ⌬H, Eq. 共5兲 indicates that the increase of r displaces the maximum on C res,ass p towards lower temperatures 关compare curves A and C in Fig. 2共a兲兴. This is the displacement seen in Fig. 7共a兲 in going from the linear 1-heptanol to its branched isomer 3E3P. As shown in Fig. 7共b兲, while for these two isomeric alcohols res their C id p (T) are essentially the same, their C p (T) are strikingly unlike, producing completely different temperature dependences for their total heat capacities, C op,m , shown in Fig. values are similar to 7共c兲. As expected, in Table IV the C res,ns p those in Table II for the corresponding isomeric linear alco- hols. The results in Fig. 7 emphasize the ability of the present model to rationalize different temperature dependences of the heat capacity in a unified form 关in this case, type 共iii兲 and 共v兲 curves兴. It is important to emphasize that for 3M3P and 3E3P the appearance of a maximum in their C op,m (T) curves is the result of a combination of quite specific factors, namely: 共1兲 A large r value, producing a large and narrow C res,ass peak p owing to the restriction imposed on association by the sterical hindrance over the hydroxyl group, 共2兲 a medium-tolarge ⌬H value that avoids the displacement of C op,m to region 共iii兲 共larger ⌬H) or to region 共ii兲 共smaller ⌬H) in case 2 curve in Fig. 3共b兲, and 共3兲 a medium molecular size that produce a relative small C id p (T) avoiding the displacement of C op,m from case 2 to case 1 in Fig. 3共b兲. It is then not surprising that, previous to this work, no other substance at atmospheric pressure has been found to display a maximum in C op,m . In this context, the C op,m (T) results22 for 5M5N, i.e., a type 共i兲 curve in the range 278.15–368.15 K when 共due to its geometry兲 a maximum might have been expected, can be explained as due to its larger molecular size 共as compared to 3M3P and 3E3P兲 that translates into a larger C id p and hence . a reduced the effect of C res,ass p F. Other series Two other series of substances can be preliminarily examined with the model, namely amines and acids. A detailed treatment for these series is hampered by the lack of data for several of their members and by the reduced temperature intervals where the data are available for some others. For the amines, there are data for the first five members of the series, i.e., for methaneamine to 1-pentaneamine. However, for 1-pentaneamine heat capacities are only measured in a short temperature interval and the C res p for 1-propaneamine clearly do not follow the trend observed for methaneamine, ethaneamine and 1-butaneamine.

For the acids, whose C res,ass perp tain to the low temperature side of the peak, it was possible to perform only a few individual fittings. They produced ⌬H values comparable or higher than those for the 1-alcohols, indicating strong association via hydrogen bonding. In general, it can be concluded that more accurate heat capacity data in wide temperature intervals are needed to further evaluate the performance of the model. In this context, amines and acids are clear candidates to future experimental work. G. n-Alkanes at high pressures Heat capacity data for four n-alkanes (n⫽11, 12, 13, and 15兲 at high pressures ( P⫽20, 50, 80, and 100 MPa兲 in the temperature range 313.15–373.15 K have been recently reported.6 –9 Unfortunately, only seven temperatures were measured at each pressure and hence it is only possible to obtain tentative values for the model parameters. Individual fittings for the four n-alkanes at each pressure were performed, the results being reported in Table V. Some preliminary conclusions can be reached from the results in Table V and their comparison with those at atmospheric pressure in Table I. The ⌬H values are almost independent of P, their values being slightly bigger than those at atmospheric pressure. The later is consistent with an enhancement of the correlations of molecular orientations at high pressures, where these associations must be favored.29 As P is increased, no clear trend is observed for r; since the r values are strongly dependent on the number of experimental C op,m points used in the fitting and the size of the temperature interval where these data are available, it is not possible to draw any conclusion from the comparison with the r values at atmospheric values in Table V are clearly pressure in Table I. The C res,ns p smaller than those at atmospheric pressure in Table I and appear to decrease with increasing P.

Phys., Vol. 120, No. 14, 8 April 2004 n-heptane and n-nonane showed that their residual heat capacities decrease with increasing pressure. These calculations were done using accurate thermal expansion coefficients, isothermal compressibilities and molar volumes data ( P) behavior in Ref. 30. The fact that the qualitative C res,ns p found with the present model is the same as that produced by Flory theory confirms that the partitioning of the heat capacity proposed in Eqs. 共1兲 and 共3兲 is satisfactory, i.e., most of arises from weak dispersion forces not able to produce C res,ns p association and, to a good first approximation, it can be considered temperature independent. H. 1-Alcohols at high pressures Very recently, heat capacity data at P⫽2, 10, and 30 MPa in the temperature range 325.7–570.7 K have been reported10 for four members of the linear alcohols (Cn OH) series (n⫽6, 7, 8, and 10兲. The most salient feature of these data is that at 10 and 30 MPa the C op,m (T) curves display a maximum followed by a minimum as the temperature increases. In other words, these C op,m (T) curves include three regions 关curves types 共iii兲, 共v兲, and 共ii兲兴, following case 2 curve in Fig. 3共b兲. Although the difference between the heat capacity values at the maximum and the minimum is smaller than the quoted experimental error, in this work we assume that it is likely that the above described behavior of C op,m (T) is correct. This assumption receives support for the following facts: 共1兲 As shown in detail in this work, C op,m (T) can go through a maximum or a minimum and 共2兲 the two-state model is able to satisfactorily explain 共see below兲 the existence of a maximum followed by a minimum; given the success of the model to describe all the experimentally observed C op,m (T) curves at atmospheric pressure, it is likely that the adequate description of data al high pressures is not fortuitous. The preliminary individual fittings of the model parameters produced very similar ⌬H values. Hence, global fittings using a common ⌬H at each pressure were performed. The values of the parameters are given in Table V and the quality of the fitting to C res p is illustrated in Fig. 9共a兲 for the four 1-alcohols at P⫽30 MPa. These good fittings allow a very reasonable description of the C op,m (T) at high pressures, as depicted in Fig. 9共b兲 for two of the systems, 1-hexanol at 10 MPa and for 1-decanol at 30 MPa. Clearly, as indicated in the qualitative discussion given above, the present model is capable of producing C op,m (T) curves that include more than one of the regions or types of curves in Fig. 3共b兲. According to the model, these multiple-region behavior for C op,m (T) is simply the result of the application of pressure that increases the temperature range for the substance to be in the liquid state, and not to some especial effect or additional contribution to the heat capacity. values are seen to increase with In Table V, the C res,ns p 1-alcohol chain length and, for a given 1-alcohol, decrease with pressure. The first variation is in agreement with that found at atmospheric pressure in Table I. The second variation is consistent with the results discussed above for the n-alkanes at high pressures. For the four 1-alcohols the r and ⌬H values decrease in going from 2 to 10 MPa and then FIG. 9. 共a兲 Residual heat capacities, C res p , for 1-hexanol 共䊊兲, 1-heptanol 共䉮兲, 1-octanol 共䉭兲 and 1-decanol 共䊐兲 at 30 MPa from Ref. 10; full lines are the fitted C res p using Eq. 共8兲, the model parameters being in Table V. 共b兲 Molar heat capacities C op,m for 1-hexanol at 10 MPa 共䉭兲 and for 1-decanol res at 30 MPa 共䊐兲 from Ref. 10; full lines are C op,m ⫽C id p ⫹C p calculated using the present model. increase again at 30 MPa. On the other hand, at the three pressures the r values increase with the 1-alcohol chain length, as it was the case at atmospheric pressure. It appears as if the C op,m (T) data at 10 MPa are inconsistent with those at the other two pressures; this is also indicated by the 2 value obtained at 10 MPa as compared to that at 30 MPa, both obtained with a comparable number of fitted experimental points. A possible reason for this is the proximity, at 10 MPa and high temperatures, to the ( P,T) conditions of the gas–liquid critical point, where C op,m experiments a strong divergence to infinity. The pressure dependence of ⌬H can be used to estimate the volume change upon association, ⌬V, through the relation ⌬H⫽⌬E⫹ P⌬V. Using the ⌬H values at 2 and 30 MPa, ⌬E⫽22 280 J mol⫺1 and ⌬V⫽5.9 cm3 mol⫺1 . This ⌬V value is in excellent agreement with other estimates obtained from excess volume data for 1-alcohol⫹inert solvent binary mixtures, using chemical association equilibrium models develop within the classical thermodynamic realm: 5.6 cm3 mol⫺1 in Ref. 31 using data for all 1-alcohols and 4.9 cm3 mol⫺1 in Ref. 26 using data from 1-hexanol to 1-decanol. The ability to obtain a very reasonable ⌬V value and to describe adequately both the temperature and pressure dependences of the heat capacities for 1-alcohols is another indication that the present model is able to capture the essential elements determining the thermodynamic behavior of these liquids. I. Concluding remarks The formation of molecular aggregates in pure liquids modifies the entropy of the system. The structures that this association process produce are sensible to temperature producing changes of entropy and heat capacity, C p ⫽T( ␦ S/ ␦ T) P .

Using this model, the effect of association on other thermodynamic properties such as the isobaric thermal expansivities and the isothermal compressibilities, as well as an extension aimed at the description of excess properties of mixtures, are currently under evaluation in our laboratories.
