Calorimetric measurements have led to ΔH0 values for ionization of nitromethane, nitroethane, 1-nitropropane, and 2-nitropropane in aqueous solution at 298°K. Combinations of these enthalpies with free energies from equilibrium constants for ionization have led to ΔS0 values for the ionization reactions. It is noted that the trend toward decreasing pK with methyl substitution in nitroalkanes is unusual compared to phenols and carboxylic acids. Similarly, correlations of ΔS0 with ΔG0 and ΔH0 are different for nitroalkanes than for other acids.
