Abstract:
The thermophysical properties of the hexane/hexan-1-ol/methylbenzoate ternary system and its binary constituents were studied at 298.15 K over the whole composition range. The excess and mixing properties calculated from the experimental values combined with the mixture activity coefficients deduced from the UNIFAC group contribution method were used to calculate the integrals of the Kirkwood-Buff fluctuation theory for the ternary system and the binary constituents. Also the local composition and the excess or deficit number of molecules around a central molecule have been determined. The volumetric properties for the ternary system and its binary constituents were correlated and predicted successfully with several cubic equations of state combined with two simple mixing rules. The structural and intermolecular interactions of the mixtures were analyzed on the basis of the measured and derived properties.

Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
