Abstract
Molar heat capacities Cp,m at constant atmospheric pressure have been determined with a typical uncertainty of about 0.3% for eight liquid alkyl acetates H(CH2)nOCOCH3 (n = 6-12, 14), over the temperature range 295-323 K. The Cp,m values were found to be a linear function of temperature. A comparison of experimental data with those predicted by the group additivity method demonstrated a rather limited capability of the additivity scheme to predict correctly the Cp,m values for higher (n > 10) homologues in the series.
Keywords: Heat capacity; n-Alkyl acetates.
