The heats and entropies of formation of the uranyl chelates of methyliminodiacetic acid, N-hydroxyethyliminodiacetic acid, ethylenediamine-NN'-diacetic acid, ethylenediaminetetracetic acid and ethyleneglycol-bis(aminoethyl ether) tetracetic acid have been determined by potentiometric titrations over a wide range of temperatures. Enthalpy effects are small and unfavourable; the reactions are determined by the entropy variations alone. The enthalpy and entropy variations on formation of the protonated species of the complexones are both favourable and the last ones may be correlated with the type of intramolecular hydrogen bridges which occurs in these systems.
The molar volumes of liquid mixtures of krypton and methane have been measured at the krypton triple-point T=115.77 K, the lowest temperature at which the whole composition range can be covered. The excess volumes were found to be negative and very small. The experimental values have been compared with those calculated from the Average Potential Model in its refined form. A discussion on the validity of the combination rules, quantum effects and form of the intermolecular potential has been included.
