Interactions in solutions: The interplay between solute solvation and solute-solute interactions

Abstract

Some results are presented for the partial molar heat capacities and the enthalpies of hydration of amides in water; both can be represented using a group additivity approach. Results are also given for various enthalpic interaction coefficients of some amides in water. From the information given a general chemical principal is postulated namely that the more strongly solutes are solvated the less will be their propensity to interact with other solutes. © 1994, Walter de Gruyter.
