“…Many studies have been done on the adipate and tartrate systems, but only a few of them focus on the determination of standard partial molar heat capacities and volumes. (6,7) The purpose of the current research is to provide experimental values for the standard partial molar heat capacities C o p,φ and volumes V o φ of the principal adipate and tartrate species in aqueous solution, and changes in standard partial molar heat capacity ( C o p,φ ) and volume ( V o φ ) accompanying the ionization of adipic acid and L-tartaric acid at T = 298.15 K. A study of the effects of temperature from 283.15 K to 523.15 K and pressure at 10 MPa on L-tartaric acid and sodium tartrate will be published in a subsequent paper. (8) …”
