Why do you suppose that curvature is observed as the size of the n-alkane increases?
Modeling boiling temperature An exponential function has previously been used to model the behavior observed for the n-alkanes. Woolf, A. A. “Relations between the boiling points of perfluoro-ethers, perfluoroalkanes and normal alkanes”, J. Fluorine Chem. 1993, 63, 19-24. Kreglewski, A.; Zwolinski, B. J. “A new relation for physical properties of n-alkanes and n-alkyl compounds”, J. Phys. Chem.196165, 1050-1052.

lgHm(TB) = m lgSm(TB) +C lgHm(TB)/ TB = lgSm(TB) Therefore lgHm(TB) = m lgHm(TB)/ TB +C Solving for TB: TB = m lgHm(TB)/( lgHm(TB) - C) This is an equation of a hyperbola As lgHm(TB) ;TB m

The Correlation Equations of Figures 1 and 2 Obtained by Plotting lgHm(TB) Versus lgSm(TB) n-alkanes lgHm(TB) = (3190.722.6) lgSm(TB) – (240583350); r2 = 0.9992 n 1-alkenes lgHm(TB) = (2469.3109.7) lgSm(TB) – (169585951); r2 = 0.9806 n-alkylbenzenes lgHm(TB) = (3370.537.3) lgSm(TB) – (247175296); r2 = 0.9985 n-alkylcyclopentanes lgHm(TB) = (3028.897.4) lgSm(TB) – (220567926); r2 = 0.9877 n-alkylcyclohexanes lgHm(TB) = (3717.887.3) lgSm(TB) – (284890999); r2 = 0.9918 n-alkanethiols lgHm(TB) = (2268.7162.6) lgSm(TB) – (1616931728); r2 = 0.9558 TB() ~ 3000 K
If TB approaches 3000 k in a hyperbolic fashion, then a plot of 1/(1 – TB/TB() versus N, the number of repeat units should result in a straight line Recall that:

Use of TB() = 3000 K did not result in straight lines as expected. Why wasn’t a straight line obtained as suggested by the plot of lgHm(TB) versus lgSm(TB) ? Consequently TB() was treated as a variable until the best straight line was obtained by using a non-linear least squares program. This resulted in the following:

These results are also in good agreement with the values reported previously for the n-alkanes by Kreglewski and Zwolinski (TB() = 1078 K) and Somayajulu (TB() = 1021 K). Kreglewski, A.; Zwolinski, B. J. J. Phys. Chem.196165, 1050-1052. Somayajulu, G. R. Internat. J. Thermophys. 1990, 11, 555-72.
A value of TB()= (1217246) K is considerably less than TB()= 3000 K, the value obtained by assuming that lgHm(TB) asTB . Since TB = m lgHm(TB)/( lgHm(TB) - C) from the plot of lgHm(TB) vs lgSm(TB), solving for lgHm(TB)maxin this equationresults in: lgHm(TB)max = C (TB())/(m - TB()) lgHm(TB)max = 154.5 18.5 kJ mol-1 Why do all of the polyethylene series converge to approximately 154.5 18.5 kJ mol-1? A limiting value 154.5 kJ mol-1 for lgHm(TB)max suggests that this property may also be modeled effectively by a hyperbolic function

At TC, lgHm(TB) = 0 This explains why lgHm(TB) fails to continue to increase but infact decreases as the size of the molecule get larger. Any inconsistancies here? What does lgHm(TB) measure?
An equation reported by Somayajulu provides a means of describing the possible behavior of lgHm(TB) as a function of TB and TC. lgHm(TB)= e1X + e2X2 + e3X3 +e4X4 where X = (TC-TB)/TC Somayajulu, G. R. “The critical constants of long chain normal paraffins”,Internat. J. Thermophys. 1991, 12, 1039-62.
If we know how lgHm(TB)varies as a function of the number of repeat units, and we know how TB also varies, we can determine how a plot oflgHm(TB)versus lgSm(TB)should vary.

If TB = TC , what about PC? PC= the pressurenecessary to keep the material as a liquid at T = TC PB= 1 atm (101.325 kPa) If TCTB , then shouldn’t PB1 atm (101.325 kPa) Furthermore, if PCis finite at TC and approaches 101.325 kPa as the size of the molecule increases, then shouldn’t it also be modeled by a hyperbolic function? Remember for a descending hyperbolic function: X= Xmin/ [1- 1/(mN + b)] as X Xmin
X= Xmin/ [1- 1/(mN + b)] as X Xmin In this case: PC= PCmin/ [1- 1/(mN + b)] as P 101.325 kPa (0.101 MPa)

Summary: All of the homologues series examined related to polyethylene 1. approach a limiting boiling temperature, 1217 K; 2. approach a limiting critical temperature, 1217 K; 3. have vaporization enthalpies that increase initially, and then decrease to 0 kJ mol-1; 4. have critical pressures that can be modeled as approaching a limiting pressure of 101.325 kPa .
All of the homologous series examined so far, in the limit, become polyethylene. Hypothesis: If a homologous series is related related to a different polymer, that series in the limit should also approach the boiling temperature of that polymer. For example, how do the boiling temperatures of the perfluorinated compounds compare to each other?
