Heat of Evaporation of Polyoxyethylene Dodecyl Ethers

Abstract
The heat of evaporation has been measured by the vapor pressure method for polyoxyethylene dodecyl ethers, C12H25(OC2H4)nOH (n=0, 1, 2, 3, and 4). It has been deduced that the polyoxyethylene chain is in a cyclic state in the vapor phase due to the intramolecular hydrogen bonding of the terminal OH group with an oxygen atom in the chain.
