Abstract
The thermal pressure coefficient (∂p/∂T) v has been measured for ethanenitrile from 299 to 364 K, for propanenitrile from 295 to 377 K, and for butanenitrile from 297 to 398 K. The results are discussed in terms of the diminishing role of polarity in the alkanenitrile series and of a corresponding-states approach using gas-liquid critical properties as reduction factors. Although (∂p/∂T) v varies unevenly with chain length, the reduced quantity shows a more regular behavior similar to that of the related quantity the cohesive energy density.
