Apparent molar volumes and apparent molar heat capacities of aqueous N-acetyl-d-glucosamine at temperatures from 278.15 K to 368.15 K and of aqueous N-methylacetamide at temperatures from 278.15 K to 393.15 K at the pressure 0.35 MPa

We determined apparent molar volumes Vϕ from densities measured with a vibrating-tube densimeter at 278.15 ⩽ (T/K) ⩽ 368.15 and apparent molar heat capacities Cp,ϕ with a twin fixed-cell, differential, temperature-scanning calorimeter at 278.15 ⩽ (T/K) ⩽ 363.15 for aqueous solutions of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine at m from (0.01 to 1.0) mol · kg−1 and at p = 0.35 MPa. We also determined Vϕ at 278.15 ⩽ (T/K) ⩽ 368.15 and Cp,ϕ at 278.15 ⩽ (T/K) ⩽ 393.15 for aqueous solutions of N-methylacetamide at m from (0.015 to 1.0) mol · kg−1 and at p = 0.35 MPa. Empirical functions of m and T for each compound were fitted to our results, which are then compared to those for N,N-dimethylacetamide. Estimated values of ΔrVm(m, T) and ΔrCp,m(m, T) for formation of aqueous N-acetyl-d-glucosamine from aqueous d-glucose and aqueous acetamide are calculated and discussed.
