Abstract

In this work, activity coefficients at infinite dilution (View the MathML sourceView the MathML source) have been measured for 21 solutes (subscript 1) (alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, aromatic compounds, alcohols, esters, ketones and halogenated hydrocarbons), in 4 solvents (subscript 3), namely one saturated fatty acid and 3 unsaturated fatty acids: stearic (octadecanoic) acid – C18:0, oleic (cis-9-octadecenoic) acid – C18:1 9c, linoleic (cis,cis-9,12-octadecadienoic) acid – C18:2 9c12c and linolenic (cis,cis,cis-9,12,15-octadecatrienoic) acid – C18:3 9c12c15c, by gas-liquid chromatography. The measurements were carried out at temperatures from (303.13 to 368.19) K and the partial molar excess Gibbs energy (View the MathML sourceView the MathML source), enthalpy (View the MathML sourceView the MathML source), and entropy (View the MathML sourceView the MathML source), at infinite dilution were calculated from experimental View the MathML sourceView the MathML sourcevalues obtained over the temperature range. The uncertainties in determination of View the MathML sourceView the MathML sourceand View the MathML sourceView the MathML sourceare 4% and 20%, respectively. The results for stearic acid obtained in this study have been compared to those available in the Dortmund Data Bank (DDB). The real behaviour of fatty systems could be better understood through the results obtained in this work.

Highlights

► Limiting activity coefficients for 21 solutes in 4 C18 fatty acids were measured. ► Thermodynamic functions were derived for stearic, oleic, linoleic & linolenic acids. ► Different trends for polar and nonpolar solutes could be identified. ► The cis-double bonds in the fatty acid alkyl chain influence the View the MathML sourceView the MathML sourcevalues.
