Abstract
The energies of combustion and formation of crystalline L-asparagine were determined in a bomb calorimeter under oxygen. The standard enthalpies of combustion and formation of the crystalline alpha-amino acid were calculated. The heats of solution of crystalline L-asparagine in water and in solutions of potassium hydroxide were measured at 298.15 K by direct calorimetry. The standard enthalpies of formation of L-asparagine and the products of its dissociation in aqueous solutions were calculated.
