Heats of Solution of Liquid Solutes in Various Solvents
Abstract
The values of the heats of solution (2131 solutions) of different liquid solutes in organic and inorganic solvents were obtained from the literature data on the heat of mixing (ΔmixH) in the wide range of concentrations. The limit values of the heat of solution of a solute (i) in a solvent (j) (ΔsolnHi/j) were calculated from the limit data of the dependence ΔmixH/xi versus xi at xi → 0 and the values of that of a solute (j) in a solvent (i) (ΔsolnHj/i) from the limit data of the dependence ΔmixH/xj versus xj at xj → 0, respectively.
1. Introduction
At the present, there are a lot of data on the heats of mixing of binary liquid systems [1–5] and considerably less data on the heats of solution from direct calorimetric measurements [6–11]. In two handbooks [1, 2] about 2500 tables of data on the heats of mixing (ΔmixH) of the different liquid solutes in organic and inorganic solvents have been collected, whence the values of the enthalpies of solution were calculated.
From comparison of the independent values of δΔsolvHTS for the direct and back reactions, a good correlation was observed in line with the common nature of activated complex for the reversible reactions [13].
2. Methodology
The heats of mixing [1, 2], ΔmixH = Qmix/(n1 + n2), are in J mol−1 of solution (n1 + n2 = 1), and concentrations were presented in the mole fractions. The limit value of the heat of solution of solute (1) in the solvent (2) can be calculated from the curvature of ΔmixH versus x1 in the range of x1 from near-zero to ~(0.3–0.5). The value of derivative ∂ΔmixH/∂x1 of the best-fitted function at x1 → 0 is equal to the heat of solution of the compound (1) in the solvent (2). Similar calculations were performed for the heat of solution of compound (2) in the solvent (1) at x1 → 1. The same results were obtained from the limit data of the dependence ΔmixH/x1 versus x1 at x1 → 0 or from the limit data of the dependence ΔmixH/x2 versus x2 at x2 → 0, respectively. As an example, let us consider here the values of the heats of mixing of methyl alcohol and dimethyl sulfoxide at 25°C (Table 1).
100 × xDMSO | ΔmixH | ΔmixH/xDMSO | 100 × xDMSO | ΔmixH | ΔmixH/xmethanol |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 0 | (−900 ± 50) | 70.0 | −332.6 | −1109 |
5 | −43.5 | −870 | 75.0 | −293.3 | −1173 |
10 | −92.9 | −929 | 80.0 | −246.0 | −1230 |
15 | −139.5 | −930 | 85.0 | −191.2 | −1275 |
20 | −197 | −985 | 90.0 | −131.0 | −1310 |
25 | −246 | −984 | 95.0 | −65.3 | −1306 |
30 | −291 | −970 | 100 | 0 | (−1300 ± 50) |
From the data of the first and third columns, the dependence ΔmixH/xDMSO versus xDMSO can be easy calculated, and the value of ΔsolnH of DMSO in methyl alcohol follows as −0.90 ± 0.05 kJ mol−1. Using similar calculation from the data in the fourth and sixth columns, the value of ΔsolnH of methyl alcohol in DMSO follows as −1.30 ± 0.05 kJ mol−1. From these results, everyone can conclude that the hydrogen bond methanol-DMSO is stronger than that in methanol-methanol in agreement with experimental data [14]. In these calculations, the more impotent data of ΔmixH are at the values of xi → 0 and xi → 1. But as a rule, the lowered heat of mixing is accompanied by the larger error. Therefore, the curvature of the dependence ΔmixH/xi versus xi gives often more correct data than that of single value of ΔmixH/xi at the small concentration of xi.
Very sharp curvature of the dependence ΔmixH/xi versus xi is usually observed at x1 → 0 for solution of H-bonded solutes, as alcohols, in inert solvents (alkanes, cycloalkanes, and carbon tetrachloride). For such solutions, the experimental data on the heat of mixing with relatively high concentration of solutes were excluded from consideration. Usually the errors of the heats of solution of alcohols in alkanes were up to ±(1-2) kJ mol−1 and for other solutions up to ±(0.1–0.3) kJ mol−1. This range of errors of calculated heats of solution is in agreement with the precise data of direct calorimetric measurements [6–11]. Some conclusions can be made from the consideration of the obtained data on ΔsolnH (Dataset Item 1 (Table)).
3. Dataset Description
The dataset associated with this Dataset Paper consists of one item which is described as follows.
Dataset Item 1 (Table). Enthalpies of solution (ΔsolnH, kJ mol−1) of solutes in various solvents (alphabetic order). The calculated limit values of the enthalpies of 2131 solutions were collected. In the first column are indicated the entries’ numbers of solutions (Number). In the second column are shown the names of solutes followed by their values of the enthalpies of evaporation in parenthesis from [15]. In the third column, the solvents appeared in an alphabetical order. In the fourth column are collected the calculated values of enthalpies of solution (ΔsolnH, kJ mol−1), after slash is given the temperature, °C, and in parenthesis is the number of tabulated data of the heat of mixing (ΔmixH) from textbook [1] or [2]. As an example, the data of solution of dimethyl sulfoxide in methanol (entry 946 in the table), −0.9/25 (319-1), means that −0.9 is the enthalpy of solution in kJ mol−1, 25 is the temperature of the measurements, °C, and (319-1) is the number (319) of the table of the heat of mixing in the textbook [1].

4. Concluding Remarks
Analysis of an experimental data on the enthalpy of solution, collected in Dataset Item 1 (Table), helps to estimate the total energy of solute-solvent interactions. These data can be useful for the selection of appropriate solvents for the practical goals in the synthesis and purification and for the theoretical consideration of the constituents of the solution and solvation processes.
