    Heat of Mixing: Ethanol and Water Abstract The temperature change when known amounts of water and ethanol were mixed was determined to see the enthalpy change in an isothermal and isobaric environment. Agreeable data was found compared to similar experiments. As the mole fraction increased of the solution so did the enthalpy until a certain limit of about 0.32. Since water’s structure and unique properties affect many aspects of a solution‚ the solutions enthalpy’s decreased at a certain time
