Measurement of Enthalpy Differences in Cryosolutions - Influence of Thermal-Expansion
Cryosolvents such as liquid nitrogen, argon, krypton, and xenon show a substantial thermal expansion. Its influence on the value of enthalpy differences for simple chemical equilibria in dilute solutions in such solvents, determined using infrared spectroscopy, is discussed. Corrections to account for the thermal expansion are proposed.
