The results of heat capacity (Cp) and density (d) measurements at 0.6 MPa and in the temperature range 298.15–373.15 K are presented for several 1:1 electrolytes in water. The flow microcalorimeter and densimeter used for these measurements were modificatons of the room-temperature designs. Data were obtained over concentrations ranging from 0.02 to 1.0 mol kg−1 (or to the solubility limit, whichever was lower). The heat capacity of a solution relative to that of water was measured with a precision of ±0.1 mJ K−1 g−1 at all temperatures. The density of a solution relative to that of water was measured with a precision of ±5 μg cm−3. These Cp and d results were used to calculate the apparent molar heat capacities, [Formula: see text], and volumes, [Formula: see text], at 298.15, 323.15, 348.15, and 373.15 K, at a constant pressure of 0.6 MPa. These results are in good agreement with available literature data.

Densities and volumetric heat capacities have been measured for aqueous solutions of L-valine, L-leucine, and L-isoleucine at 288.15, 298.15, 313.15, and 328.15 K. These data have been used to calculate apparent molar volumes, [Formula: see text] and apparent molar heat capacities, [Formula: see text] which in turn have been used to obtain standard state volumes, [Formula: see text] and standard state heat capacities, [Formula: see text] for each aqueous amino acid system. Helgeson, Kirkham, and Flowers equations, for neutral organics in water, have been used to model the calculated standard state volumes and heat capacities of the amino acids as a function of temperature at constant pressure. The results of our fitting procedures may be used to predict the behaviour of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for the selected amino acid systems outside of the temperature range utilised in this investigation.

The thermodynamics of amino acid systems are key to the understanding of protein chemistry. We have found that many previous studies of the apparent molar volumes and heat capacities of aqueous solutions of amino acids were conducted at the standard temperature of 298.15 K. This does not allow for the fact that most biological processes occur at temperatures removed from this standard condition.In an attempt to address this imbalance we have measured densities and heat capacities for aqueous solutions of glycine, L-alanine, L-serine, and L-threonine at 288.15, 298.15, 313.15, and 328.15 K using a Picker flow microcalorimeter. Apparent molar volumes and heat capacities, and the associated standard state partial molar properties have been calculated. Constant pressure variations of revised Helgeson, Kirkham, and Flowers equations have been fitted to calculated standard state volumes and heat capacities over the temperature range 288.15 to 328.15 K. These equations may be used to estimate standard state volumes and heat capacities, and hence equilibrium constants, for aqueous amino acid systems at higher temperatures.
