Densities of aqueous solutions of
trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) were measured over
the concentration range (0.0875
to 4.3251) mol·kg–1 at temperatures (278.15,
288.15, 298.15, 308.15, and 323.15) K and pressures (0.101, 10, 25,
50, 75, and 100) MPa. Volumetric properties such as apparent molar
volume of TMAO, V
ϕ,2, molar isothermal
compression, K
T,m, molar
isobaric expansion, E
P,m, and internal pressure, P
int, of its
aqueous solutions were calculated depending on concentration, temperature,
and pressure. The volumetric partial properties of TMAO at infinite
dilution in water (V
2
∞, K
T,2
∞, and E
P,2
∞) were also determined. The results
were discussed from the standpoint of solute–solute and solute–solvent
interactions.
