Thermodynamics of solvation of some linear and branched aliphatic aldehydes in water and heptane
The enthalpies of dissolution in water at infinite dilution (i.d.), Δ H tot ∞ , of propanal, butanal, 2-methylpropanal, pentanal, and 2,2-dimethylpropanal were measured by isothermal calorimetry at T = 298.15 K.
