    • phenylpropionic acid
    • phenylacetic acid
    • oxalic acid
    • malonic acid
    • succinic acid
  •  Sorbitol + xylitol + erythritol
  •  Acetic acid + water
  •  Biodiesel (essentially fatty acids + methanol)

 

  •  Any two (or more) metals put together (e.g., Fe + Al) => phase diagram?

 

Properties

Things they might want to find:

  •  Excess enthalpy
  •  Excess volume
  •  Phase diagram
  •  Presence of azeotropes / heterogeneous azeotropes (heteroazeotropes)
  •  Vapor pressures (saturation pressures)
  •  Activity coefficients / parameters for models thereof
  •  Enthalpies and free energies of formation [THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ONE!]

 

Most of this is geared toward their design and lab classes---they're learning what a lot of these terms /mean/ as part of my class.
