Abstract
We have made new measurements of the enthalpies of adding cyclohexane to mixtures of chloroform + triethylamine + cyclohexane at 25 °C. The results of these measurements have been analysed in terms of the ideal associated solution model to obtain ΔHθ for the dissociation of the chloroform-triethylamine complex. Our value of ΔHθ is in excellent agreement with a published value that was obtained from results of measurements on binary mixtures of chloroform + triethylamine. This agreement indicates that it is usefully accurate to treat mixtures of chloroform + triethylamine + cyclohexane as ideal mixtures of chloroform, triethylamine, cyclohexane, and chloroform-triethylamine complex. This result has important implications for studies of associated systems dissolved in "inert" solvents and helps to provide a connection between complex formation in dilute solutions and in binary systems (A + B, no solvent). Keywords: ideal associated solution model, chloroform, triethylamine, inert solvent, hydrogen bonded complex.
