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.

Densities of aqueous solutions of AlCl3 (containing dilute HCl) have been measured at 10, 25, 40, and 55 °C with results that have led to defined apparent molar volumes. We have used the Pitzer ion interaction model as the basis for analyzing these apparent molar volumes to obtain standard state (infinite dilution) partial molar volumes of AlCl3(aq) at each temperature. We have also made similar use of apparent molar heat capacities of aqueous solutions of AlCl3–HCl and Al(NO3)3–HNO3 from Hovey and Tremaine to obtain standard state partial molar heat capacities of AlCl3(aq) and Al(NO3)3(aq) at these same temperatures. Finally, the standard state partial molar volumes and heat capacities have been used with the Helgeson–Kirkham semi-theoretical equation of state for aqueous ions to provide a basis for estimating the thermodynamic properties of Al3+(aq) at high temperatures and pressures.
