The vapor heat capacity and latent heat of vaporization of 2-butanol have been determined experimentally. A model of an equilibrium mixture of monomers, dimers, and tetramers was used to select constants of an equation of state to fit the heat capacity data and total gas imperfection calculated from the Clapeyron equation. Molecular structure, spectroscopic information, and the vapor heat capacity data were used to evaluate barriers to internal rotation and compute tables of thermodynamic functions.

As part of a program to study the properties of oxygenated hydrocarbons, the vapor heat capacity of 2-butanol has been measured experimentally in a pressure range of one-fourth to five-fourths atmospheres and a temperature raiige of 365.15 to 455.15'K. The heat of vaporization has been determined along with the vapor pressure over the pressure range from one-fourth to five-fourths atmospheres. A model of an equilibrium mixture of monomers, dimers, and tetramers was used to correlate the heat capacity data and the total gas imperfection calculated from the Clapcyron relation. Molecular structure, spectroscopic information from the literature, and vapor heat capacity data were used to evaluate the barriers to internal rotation. Tables of thermodynamic functions for this compound are presented a t selected temperatures from 0 to 1000'K. Experimental Physical Constants and Definitions .-Calculations in this work are based on the 1956 Atomic Weights,' the values of the fundamental physical constants reported by Rossini, et d . , 2 and the definitions: 0°C. = 273.15"Ii. and I cal. = 4.1840 abs. joules. Temperatures are on the defined International Temperature Scale. The Material.-The sample of 2-butanol was supplied by the Celanese Corporation of America. It was purified from Eastman Kodak secondary butyl alcohol by multiple frartional distillation using a 1-in. 90 tray Oldershaw column. Purity by gas chromatography was found to be 99.92%. This material was further distilled in a 1.2-m. column packed with glass rings and vacuum distilled into receivers for introduction into the apparatus. The boiling range of the final distillate was less than 0.005" a t atmospheric pressure. No significant changes in the color or boiling point of the compounds were noted in the course of the determinations reported. The Apparatus.-The apparatus used to measure the vapor heat capacities, heats of vaporization, find vapor pressures was the flow calorimeter used by Pennington, mat hew^,^ and Niclrerson6 and the same type described by Waddington, et ~ l . and , ~ Pitzer? with modifications discussed by Mc(1) E.

Vapor Pressure.-Vapor pressures of 2-butanol wore obtained from the flow data a t five pressures bctween onrfourth and five-fourths atmospheres. The valucs shown in Table I are based upon the average of a t least eight cxperimental measurements.

Preliminary steps in this procedure include calculation of the kinetic energy matrix for rotation and assignment of the normal vibrational frequencies. Rotational, Constants.-The 2-butanol molecule CH&H2C"HOHCH3 has an asymmetric carbon atom (marked with the asterisk) and therefore exists as a d and an L-form. Hindered rotation about the C-C* bond results in the three rotational isomers shown in Fig. 4. In this figure the mo!ecules are viewed along the C-C" axis, and it is assumed that these isomers are more stable than the "eclipsed" forms. (That is, the configurations in Fig. 4 correspond to the minima of the potential energy curve as a function of azimuthal angle.) Bernstein and Pederson" have measured the specific rotation of 2-butanol as a function of temperature to determine the equilibrium concentrations of the isomers and the heats of isomerization. Their results in the liquid phase are corrected for association by dilution in a noli-polar solvent, and a solvent correction is derived from rotation measurements in different solvents. This treatment yields an approximation for the gaseous state. They also conclude that I and I1 in Fig. 4 have the lowest energy, each of the same magnitude. hIcCullough, et a1.,'* used a similar assumption in the study of the thermodynamic properties of 2-butanethiol. The product of the principal moments of inertia and the reduced moments of the rotating tops mere calculated for conformation I using the formalized procedure of Kilpatrick and Pitzer.lg The bond distances and angles in 2-butanol were taken to be the same as those of 1-propanol as used by mat hew^.^ Bond lengths for C-H, C-C, C-0, 0-H are 1.09, 1.54>1.43, and 0.96 A , , respectively. Bond angles are tetrahedral except for C-0-H which was taken as 110'. The kinetic energy matrix [ D ]for internal rotation becomes

As an aid to assigning the skeletal bending frequencies, some infrared data in the range 250-650 cm.-l were obtained from Union Carbide Chemicals Company2O and an analysis of the skeletons of several simpler alcohols was made using the method described for 2-methylbutane21 and the tabulations of Wilson, et ~ 1 Force . ~ constants were selected to give agreement with the observed frequencies of ethanol and propane. The results in Table I11 do not show good agreement with the observed frequencies of 2-butanol; howeyer, they were sufficient to assign the strongest absorptions shown in Fig. 5 to the I conformation. The vibrational assignments along with selected iiifrared20.23s24 and Raman25,26 data are presented in (20) Private communication. (21) D. W. Soott, J. P. MoCullough, K. D. Williamson, and G.

signed with the aid of the work on 2-butanethiol by McCullough.lE Although the heat capacities calculated with this vibrational assignment are in agreement with experiment, much controversy exists oil the vibrational modes. ;Ilathews4 summarizes some of the discussion on the 0-H bend and the C-0 stretch, and his conclusions are used in this work. A recent analysis of the infrared spectra of methanol by Falk and Whalley27 also places the 0-H bend in the 1300-1400 cm.-l region. Internal Rotation.-Internal rotational contributions to the thermodynamic properties come from the two methyl rotations, the hydroxyl rotation, and the rotation about the central C-C bond. Simple threefold cosine type barriers to internal rotation were assumed for the methyl and hydroxyl groups. Values of barrier heights selected were 3100 and 4000 cal./mole for the methyl rotations as in 2-butanethiol,18 and 800 cal./mole for the hydroxyl rotation as in other alcohol^.^ 28 The contributions from the rotation about the central bond were calculated as those for a simple t,hreefold barrier of height 2150 cal./mole plus the contribution due to “conversion” of molecules from the I and I1 conformations to the I11 form. The latter values were obtained from a consideration of the equilibrium bptween isomers2gusing Bernstein and Pederson’s17 equation for the equilibrium constant representing the conversion of I to I11 or I1 to I11

tables by Li and P i t ~ e r . ~ The ’ barrier height 2150 cal./mole was selected to give the best fit to the experimental heat capacity data. Table I1 presents a comparison between the calculated and experimental heat capacities. The maximum deviation is 0.22% aiid the average deviation 0.09%. Thermodynamic Functions.-The vibrational assignment, product of principal moments of inertia, reduced moments of inertia of internal rotating groups, barriers to internal rotation, and the equilibrium between rotational isomers discussed above were used to compute the values of the thermodynamic functions of 2-butanol a t selected temperatures between 0 and 1000” K., and are presented in Table V. The standard heat, standard free energy, and common logarithm of the equilibrium constant for the formation of 2-butanol from the elements also are tabulated. 4C(graphite)

The value of the heat of combustion of 2-butanol reported by Skinner and S n e l ~ o n(635.91 ~~ f 0.22 kcal./mole) and the values of the heats of formation of mater and carbon dioxides3were used to compute the heat of formation of 2-butanol a t 298.15”K. Table V, the heat of formation a t 298.1joE(., and the thermodynamic functions of hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen33 were used to compute the remainder of the table. (1936).
