Apparent Molar Heat Capacities of n-Alcohols (C2 to C4) and Symmetric Tetraalkylammonium Bromides (C2 to C5) in Water–N,N-Dimethylformamide Mixtures: Methylene Group Contribution and Hydrophobic Hydration
文摘
The apparent molar heat capacities, ϕCp, of ethanol, n-propanol, n-butanol, and tetraethylammonium, tetra-n-propylammonium, tetra-n-butylammonium and tetra-n-pentylammonium bromides have been measured measured using a Picker flow calorimeter (Sodev, Canada, Model CP-Cpr) at 298.15 K in water–N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) mixtures. The contribution of the CH2 moiety, ϕCp(CH2), was estimated from these data as the change in ϕCp per additional CH2 unit. The values of ϕCp(CH2) in water (ca. 100 J·K−1·mol−1) are two to three times those in neat organic solvents (ca. 30–40 J·K−1·mol−1), consistent with a substantial contribution from hydrophobic solvation in water. In water-rich aqueous DMF solutions, ϕCp(CH2) decreases monotonically with increasing DMF concentration, the decrease being more rapid for the n-alcohols. This trend differs significantly from that reported in the literature for highly aqueous mixtures of t-butanol, where ϕCp(CH2) passes through a maximum.
