Volumes and Heat Capacities of Transfer of Tetraalkylammonium Bromides from Water to Aqueous Urea Solutions at 25 °C

Abstract

The apparent molal volumes and heat capacities of tetraalkylammonium bromides were measured in urea–water mixtures at 25 °C. The volumes and heat capacities of transfer from water to urea-water mixtures indicate that structural hydration effects are smaller in urea–water mixtures than in water. Also a comparison with the corresponding transfer functions from H2O to D2O suggests that urea–water mixtures are less structured than pure water.
