Abstract

The Ostwald coefficients L2,1 of He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, N2, O2, CH4 CF4 and SF6 dissolved in several homologousn-alkanes,n-C1H21+2, 6≤l≤16, andn-alkan-1-ols,n-C1H21+1OH, 1≤l≤11, were recently measured at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure with a modified Ben-Naim/Baer apparatus. Altogether, 201 gas/liquid systems were investigated. For about half of these systems, both pressure control and measurement of the volume of gas dissolved in a given volume of solvent were achieved with a microprocessor. This improved medium-precision instrument (σ≤0.5% in most cases) combines easy handling with fully automated data retrieval, and is totallymercury-free. In this communication, the salient points of data reduction are presented, with the focus on the estimation of several important auxiliary quantities such as second virial coefficients and partial molar volumes at infinite dilution. The effect of the chain lengthl of then-alkane or then-alkan-1-ol upon solubility is demonstrated, and some correlations betweenL 2,1, or the derived Henry fugacitiesH 2,1, and appropriate molecular and/or bulk properties of the gases and the solvents are discussed.
