Thermodynamics of liquid/liquid distribution
The thermodynamics of aliphatic and aromatic solute distribution between various polar and nonpolar liquid phases have been determined using a novel flow microcalorimetry approach for the enthalpy term, and conventional shake—flask procedures for the free—energy term. Data have been examined using enthalpy/entropy compensation analysis, and the origin of the thermodynamics found has been studied by examination of the corresponding enthalpies and free energies of solute solvatiom.
