Vapor Pressure Determination of the Aliphatic C5 to C8 1-Alcohols

Zusammenfassung

A precise static method is used to measure vapor pressures of 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, 1-heptanol, and 1-octanol
from 298.15 up to the boiling points of these alcohols. The vapor pressure data are correlated with the Antoine
and Wagner equations. From the measured vapor pressures, the enthalpies of vaporization are calculated. The
results are compared with literature values.
