Abstract
Enthalpies of solution and apparent molar volumes have been determined for propionamide in aqueous methanol, ethanol and propanol solutions at 298.15 K using a C-80 microcalorimeter and a DMA60/602 vibrating-tube digital densimeter. The enthalpic and volumetric interaction coefficients have been calculated. Using the present results along with results from previous studies for formamide, the pair-interaction coefficients are discussed from the perspective of dipole-dipole and structural interactions. In addition, the triplet interaction coefficients are interpreted by using the solvent-separated association mechanism.
