Thermodynamic Properties of Aqueous Organic Solutes in Relation to their Structure. Part II. Apparent Molal Volumes and Heat Capacities of c-Alkylamine Hydrobromides in Water
The density and specific heat of aqueous solutions of various c-alkylamine hydrobromides, and of n-dodecylammonium bromide, have been measured at 25 °C. The limiting apparent molal volumes [Formula: see text] and heat capacities [Formula: see text] derived from these data, are compared to the corresponding quantities for n-alkylammonium and immonium salts. The methylene group contribution to[Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of the cyclic compounds is generally lower than that of the linear homologs; this group contribution is also found to depend markedly on ring size, in contrast to monotonous variations found in the series of the linear compounds. The difference is suggested to originate in solvation effects in which geometrical factors (solvent structure and solute geometry) play a significant role.
