H. Piekarski et al., CALORIMETRIC INVESTIGATIONS OF NACL, NAI AND UREA SOLUTIONS IN WATER-1,2-DIMETHOXYETHANE MIXTURES, Thermochimica acta, 259(2), 1995, pp. 199-205
Enthalpies of solution Delta(sol)H(circle minus) of NaI, NaCl and urea
in water-1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) mixtures at 25 degrees C were meas
ured. The enthalpies of solution for NaCl, NaI and urea exhibit a maxi
mum within the water-rich region. NaI and urea show a minimum in the r
ange of high DME content. The maxima are apparently due to the hydroph
obic hydration of DME molecules. The minima can be explained as a resu
lt of competition between water and DME molecules in the solute solvat
ion shell.
