Abstract

The solubility of argon was measured in water and in dilute aqueous solutions of nonelectrolytes: methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, glycerol, p-dioxane, glucose, and sucrose. The entropy and enthalpy of solution of argon were calculated from the temperature dependence of the solubility. The difference in these quantities in solution of nonelectrolyte and in pure water is interpreted in terms of a "two-structure" model for liquid water and is attributed to the difference in the degree of crystallinity of the various solvents.
