In connection with our investigations about the enthalpies of solvation of univalent ions in non-aqueous solvents we previously reported enthalpies of solution of alkali halides in formamide 1, N-methylformamide (NMF) and N-methylacetamide (NMA) 3. In this short communication we give a brief account of the measurements of the enthalpies of solution of LiCI, LiBr, LiI, NaI, KI, RbI and CsI in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF).The adiabatic calorimeter and the experimental technique were described previously. DMF was taken from stock (Merck, Darmstadt; Uvasole fur die Spektroskopie). The small amount of water still present was removed by drying over KOH and distilling twice under reduced pressure. An upper limit for the water content of 0.02% was observed (Karl Fischer titration).In order to obtain the standard molar enthalpy of solution, AHosol, (at infinite dilution) the enthalpy of dilution, AHmdil, from molality m (the concentration of the solution reached on dissolving the salt) to m = 0 must be known. Measurements 4 9 5 of the conductivity of alkali halides in D M F indicate that there is no association of the ions at the low concentrations used (< 10-2 molal). Consequently it is allowable to use the Debye-Huckel theory for calculating AHmdil-values. The result of this calculation was :A H m d i l = -6350 m'" (1 -2.04 m'k) J . mole-', using the physical constants reported in the literature 6-9, G. Somsen and J. Coops, Rec. Trav.
