Abstract: The enthalpies of solution of glycine in aqueous solutions of urea,formamide,acetamide,DMSOand acetone were measured at298.15 K by a RD496-Ⅲ microcalorimeter.The transfer enthalpies(ΔtrH) ofglycine from water to aqueous organic mixtures were derived and interpreted qualitatively with structural hydra-tion interaction model.The results suggest that hydrophilic-hydrophilic interaction between glycine and cosol-vent molecule gives a negative contribution to the transfer enthalpies of glycine,while the hydrophilic hydro-phobic interaction makes a positive contribution.The relative position ofΔtrH-composition profiles viz.urea <formamide <0 <acetamide <DMSO<acetone,characterizes the hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity of the cosol-vent molecule and correctly reflectes the solute-solvent interaction in the transfer process.
