Hello nice people!
To compute the
heat of formation of a solution of NO in N2O4, I have already the heat of formation of NO, N
2O
4, and still need the
heat of dissolution.

Would you know it? Or have some better method?
Ask the solvation army maybe?Yes, it's a rocket propellant, how did you guess...? 33%wt NO lowers the freezing point from -10°C down to -107°C, especially useful on Mars. Even better, it makes the solution endothermic, enabling my seducing scheme for pumping propellants, described there
http://saposjoint.net/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=2272#p27535To compute the heat of dissolution, I decided to use the available
pressure-temperature curve of NO in N
2O
4 exactly as is done with liquid-vapour equilibrium when inferring the heat of vaporization, by telling that P varies like exp(-H/RT).

Do you agree?For instance at 30%wt between 298K and 328K, gas pressure increases from 7.3 to 22.4 atm, leading to
30.4kJ/mol heat of dissolution.

Could you kindly check?I feel this is a lot. Vaporization of water takes 40.5kJ/mol and of NO 13.8kJ/mol... But maybe this explains why NO dissolves in N
2O
4 while NO doesn't liquefy at 3.33 times that pressure.

Do you feel 30.4kJ/mol is credible?Comments, suggestions welcome!
