Experimental Data of Low Temperature Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure of 1,2Dimethyl-3-ethylimidazolium bromide (C7H13BrN2) Ionic Liquid using Excel

Software
Abstract
The specific heats of gases are generally expressed as molar specific heats.
For a monatomic ideal gas the internal energy is all in the form of kinetic
energy, and kinetic theory provides the expression for that energy, related
to the kinetic temperature. It can be affected by different state variables
under study. This paper presented a modeling process using the Excel
Software to determine the relationship of heat capacity and temperature
and the best fit model equation for the given data of ionic liquid
C7H13BrN2, at constant pressure. The relationships were tested in nine
different degrees to determine the appropriate model equation. It was
observed that the heat capacity of the compound increases slowly as the
temperature increases. The values of R2 are 0.383, 0.417, 0.532, 0.613,
0.686, 0.748, 0.601, 0.282, and 0.905, respectively. The lowest value of R 2
is obtained from the plot of logarithmic while the highest is from the
power function.

Introduction
The specific heat capacity refers to the
amount of heat required to cause a unit of
mass (say a gram or a kilogram) to change
its temperature by 1C.Specific heat
capacities provide a means of
mathematically relating the amount of
thermal energy gained (or lost) by a sample
of any substance to the sample's mass and its
resulting temperature change. The effect of
temperature on reaction enthalpies and
equilibrium constants is also evaluated using
heat capacities of the participants.

Ionic liquids are a group of liquids which

have proven to be safe and sustainable
alternatives for many applications in
industry and chemical manufacturing. Their
success arises mainly from their
thermophysical and phase-equilibria
properties, and the versatility of their
synthesis, manageable to be tailored for a
given application. Their solvent properties
as well as their heat transfer or heat storage
and surface properties make this class of
fluids possible to use in a high plethora of

applications (Earle & Seddon, 2007; Nieto

de Castro & Santos, 2007).
By using the data presented and with the
help of Microsoft Excel, the model equation
that will be best fit for the relationship of
heat capacities of the ionic liquid C7H13BrN2
will be determined in this exercise. Linear,
quadratic, cubic, polynomial of 4th degree,
polynomial of 5th degree, polynomial of 6th
degree, exponential, logarithmic, and power

relationship between the temperature and

heat capacity of the said ionic liquid will be
evaluated using Microsoft Excel. Microsoft
Excel will be used to find the equation for a
curve that will fit the data. The curve may be
a line, quadratic, polynomial, or several
other types of functions. The best fit
equation will be determined with the help of
the correlation coefficient that will be
displayed in the plots.
