The basic physical process responsible for retention of a solute in gas-liquid partition chromatography is the par-tition of a solute or solutes between the gas and liquid phases. Because of this fact, much of the thermodynam-ic information attainable from a normal (static) solubility or vapor-pressure measurement is also obtainable from gas chromatographic retention volume measurements. In particular, numerous authors {1-4, 6, 8, 11, 14-19, 25, 26, 28, 31, 38, 39) have measured infinite dilution activity coefficients and/or other thermodynamic data such as heat of solution, entropy of solution, and partial molar excess enthalpies and entropies. Hydrocarbon systems have been studied extensively by this method. The activity coefficients of C4-C8 hydrocar-bon solutes in n-hexadecane, n-heptadecane, and n-oc-tadecane have been measured at lower temperatures (5, 13, 33, 41). The normal hydrocarbons in the range C20-C36 at higher temperatures (> 60 C) have been stud-ied by several investigators (20, 32, 42, 45); however, the studies have been limited in scope, and there is little overlap of the data sets. Hicks and Young (20) studied n-butane, n-pentane, and n-hexane on n-tetracosane and n-octacosane; however, each measurement was at a separate temperature so that little correlation of this data is possible because of the temperature dependence of the activity coefficients in low-molecular-weight solvents at low temperatures. For highermolecular-weight systems at higher temperatures, the activity coefficient is generally independent of temperature, because of low values for the partial molar excess enthalpy of these systems. However, at lower temperatures the activity coeffi-cients generally decrease with increasing temperatures; therefore, it is not advisable to compare data sets at different temperatures for low-molecular-weight systems. Martire and Rollara (32), Young (45), and Tewari et al.(42) all reportedactivity coefficient data for one or more solvents in the range80-120 C, and this literature data will be compared with the results of this report in the Discussion section.Pease and Thorburn (37) have published Vg data for 27 alkane solutes on n-octacosane, n-dotriacontane, and n-hexatriacontane at 80.0, 100.0, and 120.0 C. Thisset of Vg data was used as a reference point for our Vg values, and the comparison will be given in the Discus-sion section.
