Measurement of heat of mixing for ammonium chloride + ammonia system at 25 °c

Heat of mixing for ammonium chloride in liquid ammonia at 25°C was determined in the concentration range 0-50 wt% NH₄Cl. It was calculated from the differential heat of solution observed in this work and the differential heat of dilution estimated from activities of solvent. A twin isoperibol calorimeter consisting of two stainless Dewar vessels was used at a relatively high pressure (up to 1.5 MPa). The accuracy of this calorimetry was examined by measuring the heat of solution for tris-(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane(THAM) in 0.1 kmol/m³ HCl at 25°C, and satisfactory agreement within 1.1% between experimental and literature value was obtained. The reproducibility for the experiment was within 2.8%.
