Heats of solution of tetra-n-alkylammonium tetraphenylborates in water
Abstract
Enthalpies of solution of tetra-n-alkylammonium tetraphenylborates in acetonitrile, propylene carbonate and dimethylsulphoxide have been obtained from calorimetric measurements. Combination of these data with known enthalpies of transfer of the dissociated species from water to these solvents enables enthalpies of solution of tetra-n-alkylammonium tetraphenylborates in water to be obtained. Excellent agreement is found between the sets of data as obtained from independent measurements.
