Positive vs. Negative
Am I correct in thinking that a compound with a positive heat of solution will produce a cooling effect when it is dissolved in water, and vice-versa? This article seems to support that (eg. ammonium nitrate has a substantial cooling effect; it has a positive enthalpy of solution), but if this is true, then several articles (erythritol, isomalt, and probably others) and a patent (http://www.freepatentsonline.com/20050196517.html) contain glaring errors. --Pyrochem 03:09, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
You are correct. The articles on erythritol and isomalt are also correct. I haven't had time to read through the patent thought. Iggwilv 03:23, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi, sodium chloride dissolved in water, has +3.89 kJ not kcal per mol, I'll change tat (data source, google, wiki german, and so on) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.239.33.181 (talk) 21:47, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
what is value for sodium hydroxide? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.47.0.76 (talk) 10:22, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
SI units
Since this is a scientific page and scientists havnt used calories for year the given values should really be in kJ/Mol, I wont take the desision upon myself but I deffinetly support the change —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.221.197.173 (talk) 08:28, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
The SI unit is kJ/mol. Small letter is used for m.129.94.222.43 (talk) 05:37, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
I'm going ahead and making these changes since nobody has objected. User:Iggwilv (talk) 02:58, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
