Vapor Pressures and Boiling Points of Sixty API-NBS

Hydrocarbons 1
By Alphonse F. J:o'orziati, 2 William R. Norris, and Frederick D. Rossini
Measurements of vapor pressures and boiling points, over the range 48 to 780 millimeters of mercury, and above about 11 0 C, were made on 60 purified hydrocarbons. The
apparatus consisted of an electricall y heated boiler, a vapor space with a vertical reentrant
tube containing a platinum thermometer having a resistance of 25 ohms, and a condenser.
Measurements of the temperat ure of the liquid-vapor equilibrium were made at 20 fixed
pressures maintained automaticall y. The values of the fixed pressures were determined by
calibration of the apparatus with water using the vapor pressure-temperature tables prepared at this Burcau.
The experimental data on the hydrocarbons were correlated, the method of least
squares being u ed, w ith t he three-constant Antoine equation for vapor pressures, log
P = A - B/ (C+O or I= B/(A- log P )- C. Experimental data, together with the values
of the three constants of the Antoine equation app licabl e over the range of measurement,
are reported for 60 API- NBS hydrocarbons, including 17 paraffins, 14 alky Jcyclopentanes!
8 aJkylcyclohexa nes, and 21 a lkylbenzenes.

I. Introduction
This investigation is part of the systematic
program of determining physical properties of
highly purified hydrocarbons being prepared in
the cooperative program of the American Petroleum Institute and the National Bureau of
Standards. Measurements of vapor pressures and
boiling points were made over the range 48 to
780 mm I-Ig, and above about 11 C, on 60 hydrocarbons of the API-NBS series. This paper
gives the experimental data, and results of the
correlation with the Anto\ne equation, for 17
paraffin, 14 alkylcyclopentane, 8 alkylcyclohexane,
and 21 alkylbenzene hydrocarbons.

II. Apparatus and Procedure

The apparatus and procedure employed in th is
investigation were essentially similar to those
already described [1].3 The mod ifications conI This investigation was performed at the National Bureau of Standards
as part of the work of the American Petroleum Inst itute R ese~rc h Project 6

Vapor Pressures and Boiling Points

sis ted of increasing the thermometric sensitivity

from 1.4 to 3.3 mm of scale deflection per 0.001 0
C; installing a new condenser and reflux regulator patterned after one previously described
[2J; blending the heat of a reentrant 50-watt
heater with that of the external heater, wrapped
aro und the boiler, to minimize bumping at low
pressures; and connecting a high-pressure nitrogen
cylinder, with suitable reducing values and drying
train, to th e inlet of the ballast tank. The
nitrogen cylinder obviated the use of a pressure
pump for measmements above 1 atmosphere and
permitted boiling without contact with oxygen.

III. Determination of Pressures

The values of the pressures produced by the
apparatus, when controlled at the 20 fixed contacts,
were determined from periodic measurements of
th e temperature of the liquid-vapor equilibrium
made with water in the apparatus. The changes
in these values were substantially the same as
those previously reported [IJ. The vapor pressure
of water at I -deg. intervals from 35 to 103 C
was taken from table 2 of Osborne and Meyers
[3J, together with unpublished small revisions of

555

these values by Meyers, Stimson, and Cragoe [4].

From these values, several values were interpolated (by Lagrangian five point curvilinear interpolation) at O.I-deg. intervals in the neighborhood
of the temperature of the liquid-vapor equilibrium
for water at each of the 20 fixed pressures. The
final calculation of the pressure at each observed
temperature was made by linear interpolation
within the O.i-deg. intervals.

al'ds. The description of the compounds is given

in a preceding r eport [5], with the purification
and determination of purity and freezing points
of th ese compounds described in references [6 , 7,
8, 9, 10]. It is b elieved that in each case the
impurity was of su ch nature and present in su ch
small amounts that th e properties m easured were
not affected beyond the indicated limits of
uncertainty.

V. Experimental Data on 60 API- NBS

Hydrocarbons

The compounds whose vapor pressures were

measured in the present investigation were samples from the API- N BS series of highly purified
hydrocarbons, whi ch are being prepared through a
cooperative undertaking of the American P etroleum Institute and the National Bureau of StandTABLE

In table 1 are given the experimental data on

the temperatures and pressures of the liquid-vapor
equilibrium for 17 paraffin, 14 alkylcyclopentane,
8 alkylcyclohexane, and 21 alkylbenzene hydrocarbons .

760 .00 mm Hg, calculated from the Antoine eq uation, arc also given.
The last column of table 2 give , for each compound, the root-mean-square valu e, p , of th e ratios
of the deviations of the observed points from th e
Antoine equation to the expected tandard deviations. The expected devia tions were calculated on
the basis of standard deviations (of a single value)
of 0.003 deg C in th e temperature and 0.06 to
0.11 mm Hg in the pressure, for the lowe t and
highest pressures, respectively. Th e valu es of p
for the 60 compound s vary from 0.24 Lo 1.75,
whereas th e over-all value of p, compu ted for th e
total of 1,169 points on 60 compounds, is 0.56.

VI. Correlation of the Data With the

Antoine Equation
The method of correlation has been described
previously [1]. The values of the three constants
of the Antoine equation for vapor pressures, obtained from the data in table 1, are given in table
2, together with the ranges of pressure and temp erature over which the experimental da ta were
obtaim;d (and over which, therefore, the resulting
equation for each compound is applicable without
loss of accuracy) . The values of th e bo iling point
and the pressure coefficient of the boiling point at
T ABLE

VII. Discussion
T he vapor pressures of different samples of 15
of the above hydrocarbons have been previously
measured in this laboratory [IJ. Table 3 gives,
for each of these 15 hydrocarbons, the calculated
difference in pressure for a low, intermediate,
and h igh temperature and the calculated difference in temperature for a low (50 mm Hg),

intermediate (250 mm Hg), and high (760 mm

Hg) pressure, in the range of measurement.
Omitting two compounds, n-propylcyc1opentane
and n-pl'opylcyclohexane, of which the previous
samples contained a significantly greater amount
of impurity, the average differences in temperature and in pressure at each of the three levels
are seen to be quite satisfactory.

I n the previous report [1], it was poin ted ou t

that some correlation exists b etween the valu es of
the constan ts B and C of Lhe Anto ine equation
and th e numb er of carbon atom in Lh e normal
alkyl side chain for the members of seve ral normal
alkyl series of hy drocarbons, as normal paraffi ns,
normal alkylcyclopen tanes, norm al alkylcycloh exan es, and normal alkylbenzenes. F or the
pr evious correlation , values for ethylcyclopen Lane,
n-bu tylcyclohexane, and n-bu tylb enzene wef'C n ot
available. The values of th e Band C constan ts
for th ese three compounds obLained from the
presen t investigation are found to be in good
accord with those previously r epor ted for the
neighboring m embers of these series [1].
Aclmowledgment is made to Corinne R. D eCelles and Ru th C. M acK ay for ass istance in
mak ing th e calculations repor ted in this paper.
