The excess partial molar enthalpies of H20, H,,,~(H~O), in water-tert-butanol mixtures were measured at 30.00, 36.75, and 40.45". Using the values of H,~(TBA) of the previous work (Y. Koga, Can. J. Chem. 66, 1187(1988), the excess (integral) molar enthalpies of the solution, H,,~, were calculated at 30.00°C, and compared with the literature values. The comparison was satisfactory. From the literature values of the excess free energy, the chemical potentials of each component were evaluated for the range, XTBA > 0.1. With the measured values of the excess partial molar enthalpies, the excess partial molar entropies were also calculated. These partial molar thermodynamic quantities and their dependence on temperature and composition clearly support the following views: (1 ) in the intermediate region, 0.1 < XTBA < 0.5, the system is very close to a critical demixing, and (2) in the TBA-rich region, XTBA > 0.6, TBA molecules in the solution are in almost the same environment as in the pure liquid, while H20 molecules lose the hydrogen bond network completely and are dispersed in the TBA liquid structure.YOSHIKATA KOGA.

This suggests In the previous papers (called paper I (1) and I1 (2) that already at this concentration TBA molecules have more hereinafter), results were reported on the excess partial molar enthalpic difficulty in settling into the solution, i.e. the structure enthalpies of tert-butanol (TBA) in TBA-H20 mixtures, enhancement by a previously settled TBA molecule spans a H,~(TBA). While this system had been investigated previously long range. If TBA molecules are distributed randomly among (3,4), it was the first time that the partial molar enthalpies were H 2 0 molecules wit...
