Abstract
Prigogine's principle of corresponding states for chain-molecule liquids was tested by the determination of the characteristic volumes, temperatures, and pressures of then-alkanes from hexane through dodecane and of branched hexanes, heptanes, and octanes, using the method of Patterson and Bardin. The characteristic parameterV* is shown to be influenced by steric hindrance in the molecule. The quantitiesV* andT* appeared to be slightly dependent on temperature;P* is independent of chain length in homologous series of normal and branched alkanes.
