Description
Summary: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. The enthalpies of solution, Δ sol H m ∞ , in water were derived by subtracting the enthalpies of the hydration reaction at 298.15 K from the measured enthalpies of dissolution. The values obtained were combined with the standard enthalpies of vaporisation, Δ vap H m ∘ , to obtain the corresponding enthalpies of solvation at i.d., Δ solv H m ∞ . The CH 2 group contribution to Δ solv H m ∞ in water for linear aliphatic aldehydes was (−3.4 ± 0.5) kJ · mol −1 in good agreement with the average value obtained for a large number of organic compounds containing linear alkyl chains. The simple additive method adopted to estimate the molar enthalpy of solvation at i.d in water for the CHO functional group and its internal CO group gave (−28.1 ± 1.5) kJ · mol −1 and (−22.5 ± 1.5) kJ · mol −1, respectively. The enthalpies of solvation in heptane of linear and branched aldehydes with 3 to 11 C atoms were obtained using our earlier enthalpies of solution at i.d. and T = 298.15 K and recent experimental enthalpies of vaporisation from literature. Methylene group contribution to Δ solv H m ∞ for linear aliphatic aldehydes in heptane was (−4.8 ± 0.1) kJ · mol −1. Enthalpy of transfer from heptane to water for CH 2 group was (2.1 ± 0.4) kJ · mol −1.
