Calorimetric determination of solution enthalpies of liquids with a small mutual solubility at 298.15 K

Abstract

Using a direct microcalorimetric technique, the total thermal changes arising from the mutual saturation of benzene, toluene, chlorobenzene, nitrobenzene and 1,2-dichloroethane with water were determined at 298.15 K. From a combination of these values with known solubility data, the enthalpies of solution of water in the organic solvents and of the organic compounds in water were derived by least-squares analysis.
