Abstract
A new correlation of second virial coefficients of both polar and nonpolar systems is presented. It uses the Pitzer‐Curl correlation for nonpolar compounds, but in a modified form. The second virial coefficient of nonhydrogen bonding compounds (ketones, acetaldehyde, acetonitrile, ethers) and weakly hydrogen bonding compounds (phenol) is fitted satisfactorily with only one additional parameter per compound, which is shown to be a strong function of the reduced dipole moment. Two parameters are needed for hydrogen bonding compounds (alcohols, water), but for alcohols, one parameter has been kept constant and the other expressed as a function of the reduced dipole moment. The extension of the correlation to mixtures is satisfactory, direct, and involves only one coefficient per binary.Keywords
