The equilibrium constant of the reaction2CH3OH(l) + D2O(l) → 2CH3OD(l) + H2O(l) is obtained from vapour pressure measurements. The value, 1.09k0.02 at 298 K, is in satisfactory agreement with calculated values and with calorimetric estimates. Vapour pressures at 298.14 K are reported for the systems H2O + CH3OH, H2O+CH3OD, D2O + CH3OH and D2O+ CH3OD. Molar excess Gibbs functions are obtained from these vapour pressures.

A method is proposed for the determination of the equilibrium constants of liquid-phase deuterium exchange reactions from vapour pressure measurements. It is applied to water-ethanol systems to give the equilibrium constant of the reaction 2C2H5OH(l) + D2(l) → 2C2H5OD(l) + H2O(l) The value obtained, 1.05+0.02 at 298 K, is significantly greater than the 'random' value and is more precise and reasonable than a recent calorimetric estimate. Vapour pressures at 298.14 K are reported for the systems H2O+C2H5OH, H2O+C2H5OD, D2O + C2H5OH and D2O + C2H5OD. Molar excess Gibbs functions are obtained from these vapour pressure measurements.

The equilibrium constant of the reaction ���������������������� CH3OH(1)+C2H5OD(1) → CH3OD(1)+C2H5OH(1) is obtained from vapour pressure measurements on methanol+ethanol systems. The value obtained, 1.03�0.01 at 298 K, is in good agreement with that calculated independently from previously reported vapour pressure studies of water+methanol and water+ethanol systems. Vapour pressures at 298.15 K are reported for the systems CH3OH+C2H5OH, CH3OH+C2H5OD, CH3OD+C2H5OH and CH3OD+C2H5OD. Molar excess Gibbs functions are obtained from these vapour pressures.

Vapour pressures and molar excess enthalpies at 298.15 K are reported for the systems H2O+(C2H5)2NH and D2O+(C2H5)2NH. They are analysed to give the equilibrium constant and enthalpy of the reaction ����������������� 2(C2H5)2NH(1)+D2O(1)→2(C2H5)2ND(1)+H2O(1) Molar excess enthalpies at 298.15 K of the systems CH3OH+(C2H5)2NH, CH3OD+(C2H5)2NH, C2H5OH+(C2H5)2NH and C2H5OD+(C2H5)2NH are used to obtain enthalpies of the reactions ���������� (C2H5)2NH(1)+ROD(1)→(C2H5)2ND(1)+ROH(1)� (R = CH3, C2H5)Thermodynamic properties of various NH/OD exchange reactions are calculated from statistical mechanical equations by use of harmonic frequencies.

Thermodynamic properties at 298 K are obtained for the deuterium exchange reactions RSH + SHD → O + RSD + H2O RSH + DO2 → O + RSD + HDO RSH + R?OD → O + RSD + R?OH Equilibrium constants and enthalpies of the gas phase reactions with R = R' = CH3 are calculated from statistical mechanical equations using recently published harmonic frequencies. Experimental properties, including the molar excess enthalpies of C2H5SH + CH3OH, C2H5SH + CH3OD, C2H5SH + C2H5OH and C2H5SH + C2H5OD reported in this paper, are used to obtain the equilibrium constants and enthalpies of the liquid and gas phase reactions with R = C2H5, R' = CH3 and C2H5.

Bertrand and Burchfield proposed that the equilibrium constants K and the (standard) enthalpies ΔH of isotopic exchange reactions are related by the equation K = Kstatexp(-ΔH/RT) in which Kstat is the statistical (random) equilibrium constant. The application of this equation to deuterium exchange reactions for which experimental K and ΔH values are available suggests that it is a good approximation at 298 K. In this paper we present a statistical mechanical analysis to account for the success of the equation and to point out its limitations.


A technique has been developed for the accurate determination of vapour pressures of liquids in the temperature range 0 to 80° C and pressure range 5 to 760 mm of mercury. Measurements have been made of the vapour pressure of carefully purified benzene, and results have been obtained in satisfactory agreement with the best recent work. The standard deviation of the mean of eight determinations varies from ± 0 02 mm at 25° C to ± 0.11 mm at 75° C.

In aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions at 25 °C, 3-methyl-2-butenal, 1c, undergoes retroaldol cleavage to acetone and acetaldehyde. The kinetics of the retroaldol reaction were followed spectrophotometrically at 242 nm and showed simple first order behavior. When 3-methyl-3-hydroxybutanal, 2c, was added to aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions at 25 °C, there was an initial increase in absorbance at 242 nm, attributed to formation of 1c, followed by a 20-fold slower decrease; the rate of the slow decrease matches the rate of disappearance of 1c under the same conditions. Analysis of the kinetics allows determination of the three rate constants needed to describe the system: khyd = 0.00342; kdehyd = 0.00832; kretro = 0.0564; all M−1 s−1. The equilibrium constant for enone hydration is 0.41. Rate constants for the analogous reactions for acrolein and crotonaldehyde could be obtained from the literature. There is a reasonable rate–equilibrium correlation for the retroaldol step. For the enone hydration step, rate and equilibrium constants respond differently to replacement of hydrogen by methyl. It is proposed that this results from release of strain after the rate-determining step by rotation about a single bond; this decrease in strain is reflected in the equilibrium constant but not in the rate constant.
