B. Koutek et al., ESTIMATION OF CRITICAL PROPERTIES FROM THE NUMBER OF CARBON-ATOMS IN HOMOLOGOUS SERIES, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 59(7), 1994, pp. 1483-1494
Equations correlating the normal boiling points (T(B)), critical tempe
ratures (T(C)) and critical pressures (P(C)) with the respective carbo
n numbers (n) were developed for the straight-chain homologous series
H-(CH2)n-Y, where Y denotes CH3, OH, CH=O, OCOCH3 and COOH and n varie
s from 5 to 18. The estimates based on these equations were found to r
eproduce experimental data within the average errors less than 0.27% f
or T(B) and T(C), and 1.45% for P(C) thus allowing a prediction of new
data.
