Enthalpies of 1,4-Dioxane, 1,2-Dimethoxyethane, and Ethylacetate Solvation in the Water–1-Propanol and Water–Glycerol Binary Mixtures

The enthalpies of 1,4-dioxane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, and ethylacetate solution in binarymixtures of water with 1-propanol and glycerol were measured at 25°C using a precise isoperibol calorimeter. The enthalpies of the solute solvation were calculated and compared with the experimental data for other solutes. The results obtained were interpreted in terms of universal and specific solute solvation using parameters of a solvent polarity. It was found that the extreme shape of the curve ΔsolvH° vs. X for ethylacetate in the mixtures of water with 1-propanol results from peculiarities of carbotylate-group solvation and appears to be not connected with the influence of alcohol microaggregates in the mixed solvent.
