of the relationships of a reduced equation of state and made available appropriate coefficients for a number of pure substances. Newton (27) summarized the behavior of pure substances in regard to their agreement with the theorem of corresponding states. Cook and Rowlinson (73) more recently carried out an extensive evaluation of the deviations of pure substances from this theorem. I t appears that the theorem of corresponding states as originally proposed by van der Waals yields uncertainties of several per cent even for gases (27) that follow his molecular model. For this reason the theorem was used with reservation in most quantitative applications. Meissner and Seferian (25) made a significant contribution to the correlation of the volumetric behavior of gases by the use of the compressibility factor at the critical state as a correlating parameter. Suggestions for application of the technique to mixtures involving simplifications of their behaviors expressed in terms of the properties of the components as described by Weber (53) were included in the discussion (25). Meissner and Seferian obtained significant improvement in the accuracy of predicting the behavior of a pure substance in terms of a universal function of the reduced pressure, temperature, and compressibility factor at the critical state. More recently Pitzer and others (33, 35, 36) considered other means of describing deviations from the theorem of corresponding states. The molecular conditions for strict conformity with this theorem have been fairly well established (77, 78, 34). Pitzer (35) defined a correlation parameter in the following way:

This choice was made in the interest of simplicity because for a fluid (33) such as methane, argon, krypton, or xenon, the ratio P,'/P,' is almost exactly 0.1 a t a reduced temperature of' 0.7.

Pitzer called his correlation parameter the "acentric factor." He reports (36) average deviations from the modified theorem of corresponding states of about 0.5% over a wide range of pressures and temperatures. On the basis of Pitzer's modified theorem of corresponding states it follows that:

Tables of the two functions have been made available (36). The present discussion describes an investigation of the usefulness of the reduced form of the Benedict equation as the basis for an analytical statement of the modified theorem of corresponding states. The Benedict equation (9) was chosen for this investigation as a result of its specific development and application to hydrocarbons (7, 8, 70). Recently a generalized equation of state was developed for gases and liquids, which might prove more suitable for describing the volumetric behavior of fluids in relation to the theorem of corresponding states (79).

Reduced Form of Benedict Equation I n order to evaluate the influence of various modifications to the theorem of corresponding states expressed in terms of the Benedict equation, several steps were employed. In the first step coefficients for the Benedici equation were obtained from the sets of data for each of nine different normal paraffin hydrocarbons from methane through decane. No experimental information appeared to be available for n-octane and for this reason it was omitted from the study. The second step involved evaluation by least squares methods (77) of reduced coefficients upon the assumption that the theorem of corresponding states applied to all nine paraffin hydrocarbons and yielded a single set of COefficients. The third step involved a n adjustment in the reducing parameters for temperature and specific weight for each hydrocarbon, in order to improve accuracy of prediction with the reduced

By following methods which have been described (7 7) and by employing the experimental backgrounds used in earlier studies for methane, ethane, nbutane, and n-pentane (32) and for nhexane, n-heptane, n-nonane, and ndecane (37), as well as for propane (45), the coefficients were evaluated for each compound. These calculations were carried out for values of the ratio

Molal volume is dependent variable, coe5cients for y = 0 are from Table VI. Subscript D means 2 obtained from Figure V-2, p. 161 (15). Pitzer's table (36)applies only to reduced pressures less than 9.

of 0, 0.4, and infinity. This ratio is indicated in the tables and elsewhere in the text by y. The experimental background employed for these calculations is summarized in Table I. References to the sources of the experimental data are included in this table. The results of these calculations are summarized in Table I1 for the nine normal paraffin hydrocarbons involved. I n each case the standard error of estimate with pressure as the dependent variable was included for each of the points and for a selected sample of 20 points. The standard error of estimate is a measure of the degree to which two functions are equivalent and is evaluated from all the experimental points in the range of the independent variable used in evaluating the coefficients. I t was described for present purposes as

I n Equation 5, i corresponds to each of the n experimental points. The standard error of estimate based upon the sample of 20 states may be called the root-mean-square deviation. Occasionally, the sample of 20 states was not particularly representative of the entire data background, with the result VOL. 48, NO. 11

that the root-mean-square error is large in comparison with the standard error of estimate. These coefficients represent nothing that is particularly new. The matrices of the coeffjcients of the normal equations used (77) in evaluating those of Table I1 form the basis for subsequent calculations associated with the theorem o i corresponding states. The coefficientsgiven for n-hexane, n-heptane, n-nonane, and n-decane have been published (37). These coefficients do not necessarily yield the minimum value of the standard error of estimate, since only three values of the exponential constant, y, have been considered. The coefficients of Table I1 correspond to the least squares values for the three values of y .

For the sake of completeness there are recorded in Table 111 the critical temperature, pressure, and molal volume for each of the normal paraffin hydrocarbons involved in this study. I n most cases these values were based upon a critical survey by Rossini (39). By employing the same matrices used in the evaluation of the data of Table 11, a composite set of coefficients for the reduced form of the Benedict equation shown in Equation 6 was obtained and is recorded in Table IV. These reduced coefficients were obtained for each of the same three values of employed in the calculations associated with Table 11. The reduced coefficients of Equation 6 ma)' be used to evaluate the individual coefficients in the usual form of the Benedict equation. The reIationships between the reduced coefficients and the conventional coefficients (7-10) are given in the following equations:

compound is set forth in a part of Table V. For the most part the agreement is not nearly so good as that obtained with the individual coefficients recorded in Table 11. Such behavior is to be expected, as it is well known (27) that the normal paraffin hydrocarbons deviate significantly and in a rather systematic manner from the theorem of corresponding states.

Adjusted Critical Parameters By following in some respects the methods of Meissner and Seferian (25), the critical volume and critical temperature were adjusted by an iterative least squares procedure so as to yield the minimum standard error of estimate for each compound based upon the reduced composite coefficients of Table IV. Values of the adjusted reducing parameters for temperature and molal volume are recorded for each of the nine compounds in Table VI. In addition, the standard errors of estimate obtained for each compound with the adjusted reducing temperature and volume parameters are included. A comparison with similar information in Table V for the theorem of corresponding states indicates a distinct improvement in the accuracy of description of the volumetric behavior of these compounds by the use of adjusted reducing parameters which differ from the critical temperature and volume. Such an improvement is not unexpected, since in effect it adds two more coefficients to the functional relations describing the volumetric behavior of each pure substance. Adjustment of the two reducing parameters did not bring the results into good agreement, as the standard error of estimate was still several times that obtained with the coefficients presented in Table 11.

Acentric Factors The semitheoretical work now available concerning the use of an acentric factor (36) as a correlating device to obtain a modified theorem of corresponding states affords another approach. If the Benedict equation as described in Equation 6 is employed to approximate the two functions shown in Equation 4, there are a total of 14 universal coefficients to describe the volumetric behavior of pure substances. I n addition, a knowIedge of the reduced state and the acentric factor, w , is required. By utilizing the background of experimental information for the nine compounds as described, it was poi+ sible to evaluate the 14 generalized coefficients. Table I11 records values of the acentric factor for each of the nine compounds. In the evaluation of the 14 coefficients it was convenient to express the coefficients in the following form:

K I = Kpi

+ wKpe

(16)

The last analogous equation of this group is of the form,

WKpl4

(17)

For the purposes of evaluating the coefficients, which are interrelated by seven expressions analogous to Equations 15, 16, and 17, it is convenient to rewrite the Benedict equation in the following expanded form:

Values of these 14 coefficients as established from Equation 18 are set forth in Table VII. In addition there are presented in Table VIII, coefficients associated with the acentric factor established from the set of relations typified by Equations 15 through 17 for the nine hydrocarbons. As a matter of interest the values of the specific coefficients for each of the paraffin hydrocarbons were computed by application of the data of Table VII. The values of these specific coefficients recorded in Table IX may be compared with the corresponding coefficients recorded in Table 11. A summary of the root-mean-square deviations in compressibility factor for the several different methods of modifying the theorem of corresponding states constitutes Table X. This table shows a progressive improvement in the accuracy of representation in passing from the simple theorem through modification in the reducing parameters for the temperature and volume to the use of the acentric factor just described. The latter correlation is comparable in its accuracy of prediction to that obtained with the coefficients set forth in Table 11. I n the case of methane, the root-mean-square deviation for the modified reducing parameters (Table VI) is greater than for the composite coefficients (Table IV). This situation reflects the effect of sample size in the computation of the root-mean-square deviation. The compressibility factor predicted from the reduced Benedict coefficients was compared with values interpolated in the tabular correlation (36)with pressure as the dependent variable. Results of this comparison are shown in Table XI. The tabular correlation yields somewhat smaller deviations when compared with experiment than was realized with the equation of state approach. Such behavior is not unexpected, as the tabular presentation of the first function of Equation 4 can be made

to describe the actual behavior with greater accuracy than the analytical representation given by the Benedict equation of state. I n addition, scme values of the deviation obtained with the graphical correlation of Dodge (75) were included in this table. A detailed record of pressures predicted by each of the four methods investigated here is available (30) for each of the nine hydrocarbons included in this study. The extent to which the acentric factor (36) can be applied to generalizations of the behavior of pure substances by the use of equations of state has not been explored fully. The present investigation indicates that the acentric factor modification of the theorem of corresponding states yields results of only slightly greater uncertainty than are obtained by the use of specific coefficients for the Benedict equation which apply to each compound individually. Significant differences between the accuracy of description of the volumetric behavior of a pure substance by means of the Benedict equation of state and by tabular methods are a n indication of the need for more precise analytical representation of the influence of volume and temperature upon the pressure of a pure substance when a t thermodynamic equilibrium.

Prediction of Critical States It was considered of interest to explore the operations inverse to those employed in the first portion of this discussion as a part of a general evaluation of the effectiveness of the Benedict equation to describe the behavior of pure substances. As an approximation of the thermodynamic criteria used for the identification of the critical state it was assumed that the following equations described the necessary and sufficient conditions :

Zimm (54) indicated that the higher derivatives of pressure with respect to volume a t constant temperature are also zero. Imposition of these additional restraints did not appear worth while, considering how poorly the equation describes the details of the v o h metric behavior in the vicinity of the critical state. By utilizing Equations 19 and 20 as auxiliary restraints, the predicted critical temperature and molal volume were calculated for each of the nine paraffin hydrocarbons using the individual coefficients listed in Table 11. The results of these calculations are set forth in Table X I I . I t was not possible to obtain satisfactory solutions of the VOL. 48, NO. 11

Benedict equation for n-decane, which accounts for its omission from Table XII. Results for n-heptane when y was 0.4 were omitted for the same reason. The agreement is not particularly satisfactory and indicates a limitation of the Benedict equation as a means of predicting the critical state of pure substances. Acknowledgment
