Henry's constants of n-alkanols (methanol through n-hexanol) in water at temperatures between 40°C and 90°C

Henry's constants of n-alkanols (methanol to n-hexanol) in water were measured at temperatures between 40 degrees C and 90 degrees C using a recently developed headspace gas chromatographic technique. The data were in good agreement with literature data when available. The consistency of the data was verified by comparing calculated partial molar enthalpies with calorimetric values, The temperature dependence of dimensionless Henry's constants was fitted with the classical van't Hoff equation and an empirical correlation was established for the dimensionless Henry's constants as a function of temperature and number of carbon atoms in the n-alkanol, (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
