Abstract
The influence of N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, 2-pyrrolidinone, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, and N-t-butyl-2-pyrrolidinone on the temperature of maximum density (TMD) of water has been investigated. Heats of solution for these compounds and for diethylsulfoxide, tetramethylene sulfoxide, tetramethylene sulfone, dimethyl sulfoxide, and tetrahydrofuran in water at 23°C are also reported. These data, together with published TMD and heat of solution data for other solutes, are used to examine the relationship between the enthalpy change on dissolution of a solute in water and the effect of the dissolved substance on the structure of water as reflected by changes in the temperature of maximum density of the system.
