Abstract

Differential heats of dissolution of potassium nitrate in water at 298.15 K were measured on an 8 700 LKB calorimeter over a molality range 3-3.5 mol/kg. The dependence of the differential heat of dissolution, ΔLm (kJ/mol), on the molality can be described over the above range by the relation ΔLm = -33.933 + 3.635m. The value of the endothermic last dissolution heat obtained by extrapolation to the saturation concentration of 3.75 mol/kg was found to be -20.303 kJ/mol, with a standard deviation of 0.37 kJ/mol.
