Enthalpies of solvation of hydroxyl cyclohexane derivatives in different solvents

Abstract

The enthalpies of solution of cyclohexanol, cis -1,2-cyclohexanediol, and myo -inositol in water, formamide, and dimethylsulphoxide at T = 298.15 K as well as their enthalpies of vaporization or sublimation were determined. The enthalpies of solvation were calculated from the data obtained. The contributions of the polar and non-polar groups to the behaviour of the solute molecules in polar solvents are analysed by using the enthalpy of solvation data.
