THE ENERGY OF HYDROGEN BONDING IN THE SYSTEM: ACETONE–CHLOROFORM

It is shown that(1) acetone and chloroform form a compound stable in the solid state;(2) acetone and carbon tetrachloride do not form a compound;(3) the enthalpies of mixing of acetone and chloroform and of acetone and carbon tetrachloride have been determined;(4) from these figures the energy of hydrogen bonding in the acetone–chloroform system is evaluated as 2.7 kcal ± 0.1.
