The corresponding state theory modified for polar solutions is applied to the excess enthalpies of binary mixtures of aromatic hydrocarbons and aliphatic ketones. The dispersion interaction parameter
X12 between aromatic hydrocarbon and cyclohexanone is estimated from excess enthalpies of methylcyclohexane mixtures of corresponding aromatic hydrocarbon in which methylcyclohexane is nonpolar homologue to cyclohexanone, and heptane is used as nonpolar homologue to diethyl ketone and methyl ethyl ketone. For the parameter of dipole-dipole interaction
m, the value proposed by Winnick, 1.75×10
8, is used. The dipole-induced dipole interaction parameter
m' of mixtures of aromatic hydrocarbon and ketone are estimated by using these
X12 and
m parameters from excess enthalpies of mixture. The parameter
m' increases in the sequence benzene > toluene > ethyl benzene. The contributions of each interaction to excess enthalpy are also estimated.
