Deskripsi

A thermodynamic the influence of temperature on the logarithm of the considered quantity is expressed by bifunctional functional terms (1/<i>T</i>, ln<i>T</i>). For this purpose, the Apelblat & Manzurola (A&M) equation was used for extended model dissolution analysis of 12 aromatic hydrocarbons in tetralin and decalin vs. temperature for saturated solutions. The A&M equation was found to be thermodynamically compensatory in the sense of Enthalpy-Entropy-Compensation (EEC) while limiting melting temperature <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mtext> </mtext><msub><mi>T</mi><mi>m</mi></msub><mo>=</mo><mfrac><mrow><msub><mi mathvariant="normal">∆</mi><mi>m</mi></msub><mi>H</mi></mrow><mrow><msub><mi mathvariant="normal">∆</mi><mi>m</mi></msub><mi>S</mi></mrow></mfrac><mo>.</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> The coefficients for the functional terms <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>A</mi><mn>1</mn></msub><mo> </mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> vs. <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>A</mi><mn>2</mn></msub></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> are a linear relationship, with a slope called the compensation temperature <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>T</mi><mi>c</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>, as ratio of average enthalpy to average entropy. From this dependence, it has been shown that the approximation of <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi mathvariant="normal">∆</mi><msub><mi>c</mi><mi>p</mi></msub><mo>=</mo><msub><mi mathvariant="normal">∆</mi><mi>m</mi></msub><mover accent="true"><mi>S</mi><mo>¯</mo></mover></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> is justified, also assuming the average entropy. Regarding the term representing the activity coefficients, modifications to the A&M equation were proposed by replacing the intercept and it was shown that the new form correctly determines <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi mathvariant="normal">∆</mi><mi>m</mi></msub><mi>H</mi><mo>.</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> However, the condition is that the molar fraction of the solute exceeds <i>x</i> > 0.5 moles. It has been shown that the simplest equation referred to van ’t Hoff’s isobar also allows the simultaneous determination of enthalpy and entropy, but these quantities do not always come down to melting temperature.
