✦ Synopsis

The statistical thermodynamics previously developed for pure liquids of non-polar and polar chain molecules is extended to their mixtures. An orientation factor is introduced into the quasi-chemical relation of the hydrogen Bond to reduce the calculated preferential Bonding. Excess properties are calculated for n-alkane-n-alkanol-1 and n-alkanol-I-n-alkanol-1 solutions. The heat of mixing and excess free energy calculated with the group properties reported previously are in good agreement with data for solutions in which the alkanol is higher than ethanol.
