Solubility and dissolution thermodynamics of tetranitroglycoluril in organic solvents at 295-318 K

摘要

The solubility data of tetranitroglycoluril in acetone, methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, nitromethane and chloroform at temperatures ranging from 295-318 K were measured by gravimetric method. The solubility data of tetranitroglycoluril were fitted with Apelblat semiempirical equation. The dissolution enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs energy of tetranitroglycoluril were calculated using the Van't Hoff and Gibbs equations. The results showed that the Apelblat semiempirical equation was significantly correlated with solubility data. The dissolving process was endothermic, entropy-driven, and nonspontaneous.
