Abstract
This research involved a thermodynamic investigation of the heteroassociation of 2-phenyl-2-propanol with four Lewis bases (pyridine, benzophenone, acetone, and dimethyl sulfoxide) in carbon tetrachloride solution using the near infrared spectroscopic method. The first overtone peak of the free 0-H stretching frequency was employed in this study to measure the equilibrium concentration of the non-associated 2-phenyl-2-propanol. The equilibrium concentrations of other substances involved in the reaction were then calculated stoichiometrically and an equilibrium constant Keq was obtained. By measuring the Keq at various temperatures and drawing the plot of Ln Keq vs. 1/T, the enthalpy change and entropy change were obtained from the slope and the intercept, respectively. In addition, the E and C values for the Double Scale Equation for 2-phenyl-2-propanol were tentatively established.
