From the enthalpies of solution of various electrolytes and some non-electrolytes in binary solvent systems containing water and different amides, several enthalpic pair-interaction coefficients have been evaluated. They refer to the interactions of different quarternary ammonium bromides, some trialkylphosphates and triethylamine with formamide, N-methylformamide, NN-dimethylformamide and NNdimethylacetamide in aqueous solution and with water in the non-aqueous solvent NN-dimethylformamide. In aqueous solution a much larger variety of values for pair-interaction coefficients is found than in the non-aqueous systems. The different pair-interaction coefficients in water can be related to the structure of the solutes. A functional group additivity concept, introduced by Savage and Wood for non-ionic solutes, is also applicable to the interactions between electrolytes and non-electrolytes. The values of the functional-group parameters for the electrolytes in water are in reasonable agreement with those obtained from non-electrolytic interactions. In non-aqueous solutions the additivity concept gives a better correlation of the experimental values than in aqueous systems.
Enthalpies of solution of tetra-n-pentylammonium bromide in mixtures of water and Ar,ZV-dimethylformamide (DMF) and of tetra-n-butylammonium bromide in mixtures of water and dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) and of water and IV.lV-dimethylacetamide (DMA) have been measured calorimetrically at 298.15 K over the whole mole fraction range. All profiles of the enthalpy of solution vs. solvent composition show endothermic maxima. The results are interpreted in terms of a simple hydration model with two parameters: the enthalpic effect of hydrophobic hydration in pure water, and the number of solvation sites of one alkyl group. After elimination of the influence of the Br~i on, both parameters are in good agreement with those found for some nonelectrolytes. Finally, the role of the cosolvent is considered more systematically.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
