New mixing system in dissolution isoperibol microcalorimeter.
In order to determine dissolution enthalpies of small amounts of easily or slightly soluble solids, a new cell for batch isoperibolic microcalorimetry was developed at the Universities of the Andes and the National of Colombia. An innovative mixing system for avoiding error due to the common effect of the brittle point breakage has been designed for this cell. The cell has a capacity of 40 ml and the sample holder can bear solid samples between 10.0 and 30.0 mg. The high stability of the base line allows solution experiments to be extended over several hours. All measurements reported were conducted at 298.15 K using water as solvent.
