The heats of solution of alcohols in water

Abstract
A new calorimeter has been developed and the enthalpy of solution of methanol, ethanol, propan-1-ol, propan-2-ol, butan-1-ol, and 2- methylpropan-2-ol, in water to low concentrations, measured between 5� and 35�. In all cases, the results can be adequately represented by a quadratic dependence of heat of solution on temperature. The results have been compared qualitatively with the data for the hydrocarbons.
