This work reports an experimental study aiming to determine the thermodynamic properties of five chlorinated compounds with environmental impact. The vapor pressures of the crystalline phases of three isomers of dichlorobenzoic acid (2,4-, 2,5-, and 2,6-) and 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile were measured at several temperatures using the Knudsen effusion technique. Another technique (a static method based on capacitance diaphragm manometers) allowed the measurement of the vapor pressures of both the crystalline and liquid phases of 2,4-dichlorobenzonitrile between 303.0 and 380.0 K. This latter technique also enabled the measurement of sublimation vapor pressures of 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile over a larger range interval of temperatures, T = 328.7 and 391.8 K. The standard molar enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs energy of sublimation (for all the compounds studied) and vaporization (for 2,4-dichlorobenzonitrile) were derived, at reference temperatures, from the experimental vapor pressure results. The temperatures and enthalpies of fusion and the isobaric heat capacities of the five crystalline-substituted benzenes were determined using differential scanning calorimetry. The contributions of the three substituents (-COOH, -CN, and -Cl) to the sublimation thermodynamic properties of the compounds studied were discussed. |
