Note that the m(dstrong electrolytes in dilute solution. It results because the charged ions break up the hydrogen bonded structure of the water and decrease the heat capacity of the solution over that of pure water. Thus, the contribution of Cp. 2 to Cp m is negative. 

Study of hydrated kaolinites shows that water molecules adsorbed on a phyllosilicate surface occupy two different structural sites. One type of water, "hole" water, is keyed into the ditrigonal holes of the silicate layer, while the other type of water, "associated" water, is situated between and is hydrogen bonded to the hole water molecules. In contrast, hole water is hydrogen bonded to the silicate layer and is less mobile than associated water. At low temperatures, all water molecules form an ordered structure reminiscent of ice as the temperature increases, the associated water disorders progressively, culminating in a rapid change in heat capacity near 270 K. To the extent that the kao-linite surfaces resemble other silicate surfaces, hydrated kaolinites are useful models for water adsorbed on silicate minerals. 

Heat Capacity Measurements and Interlayer Water Structure. The heat capacity of the interlayer water has been measured for the 10A,... 

Results from thermal denaturation and heat capacity studies have shown that the proteins are not necessarily completely unfolded in this process. The volume observations also suggest that the denatured state is not one in which all hydrophobic groups are exposed to water. But the results can also be understood from the effect of close polar and electrostatic groups interacting with the water structure surrounding the hydrophobic groups. The volume change is heavily... 

There has been much controversy over the structure of jS-sulfur, and the question of whether it is a true allotrope. It has been suggested that it constitutes merely a thermally distorted lattice expansion of orthorhombic sulfur. Furthermore, phase transition, at 101°C, has been described by various authors (S2), but it has been shown that this eJffect was due to traces of water in the lattice (65). However, recently a true anomaly in the heat capacity has been found (7i) at —75°C. 

LC-PB-MS has been investigated as a potential confirmatory method for the determination of malachite green in incurred catfish tissue (81) and of cephapirin, furosemide, and methylene blue in milk, kidney, and muscle tissue, respectively (82). Results showed that the mobile-phase composition, nebulization-de-solvation, and source temperature all play an important role in the sensitivity of the method. The sensitivity increases with decreasing heat capacity of the mobile phase in the order methanol acetonitrile isopropanol water and with decreasing flow rate. A comparison of the PB with the thermospray interface showed that less structural information was provided by the latter, whereas the sensitivity was generally lower with the thermospray interface. 

Urea, as a cosolvent, is at the other extreme. All the concentration dependences of the binary and ternary systems are quite regular. The excess volume (Figure 6) is positive, which is rarely observed for nonelectrolytes in water. With the exception of the heat capacities of Bu4NBr, all the parameters Beu are positive for volumes and heat capacities, and the sign of the transfer functions is always opposite what we would expect for the structural hydration contribution to V° and Cp°. 

Water is well known to have an unusually high heat capacity. Not so well known is that liquid XeFA also has a high heat capacity compared to "normal" liquids such as argon, carbon tetrachloride, or sulfur dioxide. From your knowledge of the structures of the solids and the gaseous molecules of these materials (most of them are sketched in this text), explain the "anomalous heat capacity of XeF . 

Entropy is a measure of disorder. The largest negative entropy of solution in Table 3.1 is generally considered as evidence of the creation of structure (increased order) within the body of water. More recently it has been suggested that the creation of a cavity can explain the entropy decrease. Large heat capacity changes also indicate the structuring effect of the solute on the water molecules. The size of the solute molecule has a substantial effect on solubility. 

The molecular dynamic technique has been validated for water structures through comparison of calculated properties with experimental thermodynamic water data, such as the density maximum, the high heat capacity, and diffraction patterns (Stillinger and Rahman, 1974) as well as the hydrate infrared (vibrational) spectral data by Bertie and Jacobs (1977, 1982). With acceptable comparisons of many computed and experimental properties of water structures, there is little doubt that a substance similar to water has been simulated. 

Even though it was reported earlier (Dolgikh et al., 1985) that the molten globule state had a heat capacity similar to that of the unfolded state, implying that the molten globule was fully exposed to water, this view appears to be at odds with thermodynamic considerations and new experimental data. Also, if the molten globule is fully hydrated and its tertiary structure interactions are largely disrupted, why does it assume a compact conformation What are the forces... 

Another important event contributing to the progress in this field was the development of reaction microcalorimetry, which has permitted direct measurement of heat effects involved with the transfer of hydrophobic substances from a nonpolar environment to water. These processes have been thought to mimic the unfolding of compact protein, structures. Prior to the development of direct calorimetric techniques, all information on the interaction of a hydrophobic substance with water was obtained from equilibrium studies. However, the results were limited in accuracy, particularly those properties that are obtained by consecutive temperature differentiation of the solubility, for example, the change in heat capacity.
