The Enthalpies and Heat Capacities of Solution of Tetraethyl- and Tetrabutylammonium Bromides in Methanol,Formamide, and Ethylene Glycol

The heat effects of solution of tetraethyl- and tetrabutylammonium bromides in methanol (MeOH), formamide (FA) and ethylene glycol (EG) were measured at 25 and 40°C at various concentrations. Various calculation methods were used to determine the standard enthalpies of solution. The results were compared with the available data on aqueous systems. The mean standard heat capacities of solution over the temperature range studied were calculated. The behaviors of tetraalkylammonium salts in water and FA were shown to be much less different than in water and alcohols, which was evidence of the possibility of the appearance of solvophobic solvation effects in the solution of nonpolar particles in FA.
