Abstract
An improved microcalorimeter heating circuit based on a 555 integrated circuit timer has been constructed in order to investigate the existence or nonexistence of a concentration effect in the heat of solution ofn-heptane in glacial acetic acid (GAA). Precision was improved by this device which has the advantage of greater stability to thermal change and operating voltage than the UJT-RC oscillator previously used. A theoretical argument is presented to indicate that the heat of solution ofn-heptane in GAA decreases with increasing heptane concentration and experimental data are given to support this conclusion. The experimental data fit the equationΔ Hs=6.11−44x2 wherex 2 is the mole fraction of heptane in 20.0 ml of GAA resulting from each injection and 6.11 is the heat of solution, in kJ mol−1, of heptane in GAA extrapolated to infinite dilution.
