چکیده

Molecular-dynamics simulations of water-benzene mixtures at 573 K and pressures in the 85-140 bars range have been performed to examine local structure and dynamics of the mixtures, which exhibit anomalously large volume expansion on mixing as recently found by in situ near-infrared measurements. Fractional charges for a simple-point-charge-type potential of water were adjusted so as to reproduce liquid densities and the gas-to-liquid transition pressure of neat water at 573 K. A Lennard-Jones-type potential for benzene was used and the Lorentz-Berthelot combination rule was applied to the water-benzene interaction. Simulations with a N-P-T ensemble of 800-molecule system have been performed and the results reproduce well the anomalous volumetric behavior of the mixtures with the mole fraction of benzene in the 0.3-0.8 range. Pair distribution functions, coordination numbers, and self-diffusion coefficients for the mixtures are calculated, and it is suggested that the local structure around water molecules undergoes drastic change by dissolution of benzene in the vicinity of the critical region, but that around benzene molecules seems to be understood as that of ordinary liquid mixtures.

Anomalous volumetric behavior of water-hexane and water-decane mixtures in the vicinity of the critical region as studied by infrared spectroscopy.

Infrared spectra of binary mixtures of water with hexane and decane were measured at temperatures and pressures in the 473-648 K and 70-350 bar ranges, respectively. Volumetric concentrations of water and the hydrocarbons in the mixtures were obtained from absorption intensities of the fundamental OH stretching band of HDO and combination transitions of the hydrocarbons. Using both the concentr...

Near-Infrared Study of Water and Water-Benzene Mixtures at High Temperatures and Pressures

Near-infrared absorption of water and water-benzene mixtures has been measured at temperatures and pressures in the range of subcritical and supercritical condition of water. The molar absorption intensity of the OH stretching overtone transition of neat water was obtained. It decreases linearly with increasing pressure in the region of gas and gaslike density. Enthalpy for dimerization has bee...

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Freezing Behavior of Pure Water and 14% Water-NaCl Mixture Using the Coarse-Grained Model

 We performed molecular dynamics simulations using the coarse-grained model to study the freezing behavior of pure water and 14% water-salt mixture in a wide range of temperatures for a very long time around 50 nanoseconds. For the salty water, an interface in nanoscale was used. For both systems, the f...

Study of Volumetric Properties of N,N-Dimethyl Acetamide and 1-Alkanols Binary Mixtures at 298.15 K

In this study, the densities, excess molar volumes and partial molar volumes of four binary systems containing N,N-dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) with 1-alkanols (1-butanol up to 1-heptanol) are measured at 298.15 K. The results showed both constructive and expansive excess volumetric behavior for studying binary mixtures. Deviation values of heavy alcohol have more positive and less negative excess...
