Abstract

Enthalpies of solution of LiCl and of LiCl · H2O in water at 298.15 K were measured. Results with different procedures of sample handling are discussed, including the use of the equilibrium between LiCl · H2O and its aqueous saturated solution as a hygrostat. The molar enthalpies of solution extrapolated to infinite dilution are ΔsolHm(LiCl, 298.15 K) = -(36653 ± 90) J · mol-1 and ΔsolHm(LiCl · H2O, 298.15 K) = -(18562 ± 54) J · mol-1. The value for the monohydrate has been calculated by assuming that the excess water in the sample over the theoretical, is present as an aqueous saturated solution.
