Abstract

The heat effects of dissolution of ethyleneurea (2-imidazolidinone) in water and methanol were measured (with an error not higher than 0.2%) at 298.15 K by using a hermetic isothermal calorimeter. The limiting (standard) molar solution enthalpies of the specified cyclic compound in different solvents were determined. Considerable weakening of the solvation of the solute was established in the case of both cyclization of dimethylurea molecules and replacement of the aqueous medium by a methanolic solution.
