Additional data for the infinite dilution activity coefficient, ..gamma../sub 1/infinity, have been obtained for nonpolar and polar solutes in 2-methyl naphthalene at 60/sup 0/C by gas chromatographic procedures. Solid 2-methyl naphthalene was dissolved in n-hexane solvent and coated onto Chromosorb W DMCS supports by evaporation of the solvent. The experimental data are presented in Table I along with values obtained previously for a number of the solutes in 1-methyl naphthalene. It can be seen that with the exception of tetrahydrofuran the values of ..gamma../sub 1/infinity for the nonpolar and polar solutes are slightly higher in 2-methyl naphthalene. For nonpolar mixtures containing molecules of large molecular size, including n-decane and hexadecane, we have been investigating the application of linear relationships in the acentric factor for the calculation of phase equilibria and other properties. For polar coal fluids with large acentric factors and low polarity factors, these analyses indicate that the relationships of Lin and Stiel for the molecular parameters in terms of ..omega.. and chi result in lower than optimum values of a* and epsilon/kappa. Based on these results, we are using data for 1-methyl-naphthalene, 2-methyl-naphthalene, tetralin, diphenylmethane, quinoline, and aniline to develop improved correlations for the molecular parameters of polar substances. 7 refs., 2 figs., 3 tabs.
