文摘

In this paper we demonstrate the application of pressure perturbation calorimetry (PPC) to the characterization of 2-propanol/water mixtures. PPC of different 2-propanol/water mixtures provides two useful measurements: (i) the change in heat (ΔQ); and (ii) the \( \left[ {\delta \bar{C}_{p} /\delta p} \right]_{T} \) value. The results demonstrate that the ΔQ values of the mixtures deviate from that expected for a random mixture, with a maximum at ~20–25 mol% 2-propanol. This coincides with the concentration at which molecular dynamics (MD) simulations show a maximum deviation from random distribution, and also the point at which alcohol–alcohol hydrogen bonds become dominant over alcohol–water hydrogen bonds. Furthermore, the \( \left[ {\delta \bar{C}_{p} /\delta p} \right]_{T} \) value showed transitions at 2.5 mol% 2-propanol and at approximately 14 mol% 2-propanol. Below 2.5 mol% 2-propanol the values of \( \left[ {\delta \bar{C}_{p} /\delta p} \right]_{T} \) are negative; this is indicative of the presence of isolated 2-propanol molecules surrounded by water molecules. Above 2.5 mol% 2-propanol \( \left[ {\delta \bar{C}_{p} /\delta p} \right]_{T} \) rises, reaching a maximum at ~14 mol% corresponding to a point where mixed alcohol–water networks are thought to dominate. The values and trends identified by PPC show excellent agreement not only with those obtained from MD simulations but also with results in the literature derived using viscometry, THz spectroscopy, NMR and neutron diffraction.
