The densities and volumetric specific heats of binary mixtures of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), acetone (ACT), and acetamide (ACM) in water were measured at 25 °C with a flow densimeter and a flow microcalorimeter. The same properties were also determined for ternary mixtures of 0.1 m LiCl, NaCl, Me4NBr, and Bu4NBr in ACT–water and DMSO–water mixtures, and volumes for 0.1 m Bu4NBr in ACM–water and urea–water mixtures. The derived apparent molal volumes and heat capacities of nonelectrolytes in water and the transfer functions of the electrolytes from water to the mixed solvents suggest that, contrary to urea, the present non-electrolytes are slightly hydrophobic but, with the possible exception of ACT, their overall influence on water structure has practically no influence on the various solute–solute interactions.

The densities and volumetric specific heats of p-dioxane, tetrahydropyran, morpholine, piperidine, and piperazine were measured in water at 25 °C with a flow densimeter and a flow microcalorimeter. The same properties were also determined for LiCl, NaCl, Me4NBr, and Bu4NBr at 0.1 m in dioxane–water, morpholine–water, and piperidine–water mixtures. The derived apparent molal volumes and heat capacities of the nonelectrolytes in water and the transfer functions of the electrolytes from water to the mixed solvent suggest that all the present cyclic amines and ethers are hydrophobic; the overall structural influence is very small with dioxane and large with piperidine.

The densities and volumetric specific heats of some tetraalkylammonium bromides, alkyltrimethylammonium bromides, and some alkali halides (0.02 to 0.5 aquamolal) were measured in 0 to 30 wt.% glycerol in water with a flow densimeter connected in series with a flow microcalorimeter at 24 and 25 °C respectively. The derived volumes and heat capacities of transfer of the electrolytes from water to glycerol–water mixtures are consistent with the corresponding transfer functions from water to D2O and from water to urea–water mixtures, and suggest that structural interactions are reduced in aqueous glycerol solutions. The volumes and heat capacities of micellisation of n-nonyltrimethylammonium bromide were determined in water, glycerol–water mixtures, urea–water mixtures, and in D2O. Both the transfer and the micellisation study indicate that glycerol behaves in an analogous manner to urea. An effect other than a simple alteration of the water structure must be invoked to account for their different effects on protein stability.

The density and specific heat of dilute aqueous solutions of various alcohols and polyols have been measured at 25 °C. Such measurements have been carried out for the following solutes: methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, s-butanol, tert-butyl alcohol, n-pentanol. 3-pentanol, neo-pentanol, ethyleneglycol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, dimethyl-2,2-propanediol, 1,1,1-tris(hydroxymethyl)ethane, and pentaerythritol.The limiting apparent molal volume [Formula: see text] and heat capacities [Formula: see text] derived from these data exhibit some variations among the properties of isomers (e.g. branched vs. normal alkyl groups), but these variations cannot be conclusively attributed to specific effects in the hydration of the alkyl groups. On the other hand, the data allows one to derive group contributions to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] namely [Formula: see text] for the methylene group, [Formula: see text] for the OH functional group and [Formula: see text] for the C—H of a terminal methyl group.The concentration dependence of [Formula: see text] brings out some interesting new features. With most of the alcohols, [Formula: see text] decreases with concentration, in a way related to the degree of hydrophobicity of the alcohol. Solute–solute interactions contribute to reduce [Formula: see text] of the hydrophilic solutes, but the opposite effect is observed with the most hydrophobic alcohols.

The densities and heat capacities per unit volume of the symmetrical tetraalkylammonium bromides (R4NBr) were measured in H2O, D2O, and 3 m aqueous urea from 0.01 to 1 mol kg−1 and from 5 to 55 °C with a flow digital densimeter and a flow microcalorimeter. Expansibilities were also measured at 25 °C for the same electrolytes in H2O and urea–water mixtures with a dilatometer. Apparent molal volumes [Formula: see text] heat capacities [Formula: see text] and expansibilities [Formula: see text] were derived. The [Formula: see text] of R4NCl and R4NI were also measured in H2O at 25 °C. The effect of urea concentration was investigated at 25 °C in the case of Bu4NBr.Once allowance is made for the anion, the properties of the larger R4N+ behave essentially as hydrophobic nonelectrolytes in water. The transfer functions from H2O to D2O have the same sign as the hydration functions and the transfer functions from H2O to urea–water mixtures the opposite sign. Whatever is the origin of the interactions giving rise to the peculiar behavior of hydrophobic R4N+ in water, these interactions are larger in D2O and smaller in the presence of urea.The excess volumes, heat capacities, and expansibilities of Bu4NBr and Pen4NBr, once corrected for the long-range Debye–Hückel interactions, all have the same sign as the hydration functions at infinite dilution, in contrast with excess free energies and enthalpies. This suggests some kind of cooperative effect as two hydrophobic solutes interact with each other without the formation of a hydrophobic bond. No conclusions can be drawn from the difference in excess functions in the various aqueous solvents.

The apparent molal volumes and heat capacities of tetraalkylammonium bromides were measured in urea–water mixtures at 25 °C. The volumes and heat capacities of transfer from water to urea-water mixtures indicate that structural hydration effects are smaller in urea–water mixtures than in water. Also a comparison with the corresponding transfer functions from H2O to D2O suggests that urea–water mixtures are less structured than pure water.

The densities and volumetric specific heats of the alkaline earth chlorides have been measured in water at 25 °C in the concentration range 0.01 to 0.4 M with a flow densimeter and a flow microcalorimeter. Apparent molal volumes and heat capacities have been derived.

The densities and volumetric specific heats of Na2SO4, K2SO4, MgSO4, Na2CO3, NaHCO3, and NaOH were measured up to an ionic strength of 1 in water at 25 °C with a flow densimeter and a flow microcalorimeter. From these data, the heat capacity for the formation of the ion pair MgSO40was evaluated as 84.9 J K−1 mol−1. There is an anomalous increase in the apparent molal heat capacities of Na2CO3 at low concentration but the apparent molal volumes are normal. This anomaly can be suppressed with NaOH. Attempts to account quantitatively for this behavior by an hydrolysis correction were not successful.

The apparent molal volumes and heat capacities of Bu4NBr were measured in aqueous solutions of NaF, NaCl, NaBr, KBr, NaAc, and NH4Ac at 25 °C with a flow densimeter and a flow microcalorimeter. The derived transfer functions of Bu4NBr from water to the electrolyte solutions, after correction for the long-range coulombic forces, are all negative. This suggests that the noncoulombic interactions between hydrophobic and hydrophilic ions result in negative contributions to volumes and heat capacities.

The apparent molal volumes [Formula: see text] and heat capacities [Formula: see text] of Bu4NBr, NaBPh4, Ph4PCl, and Ph4AsCl have been measured in water and methanol at 25 °C in the concentration range 0.01–0.2 M. The viscosity of aqueous NaBPh4 and Ph4AsCl have also been measured at 25 °C and in the same concentration range. Individual ionic values have been estimated for most of these properties. A comparison of these values for the quaternary ions BU4N+, [Formula: see text], Ph4P+, Ph4As+ illustrates sizable differences in the solute–solvent interactions of alkyl and aryl substituted ions. Some specificity is also suggested in the solvation of the tetraphenyl ions, as shown by a comparison of the properties which should reflect directly the size of the ions [Formula: see text]and also in (H2O → CH3OH) transfer functions.
