Abstract The Soret effect (thermal diffusion) of dilute aqueous solutions of NH4Cl, Me4NCl, Et4NCl, n-Pr4NCl, and n-Bu4NCl has been investigated potentiometrically using the silver, silver chloride thermocell. The molar entropies (heats) of transport have been derived from the initial and final thermoelectric powers. The concentration dependence of the entropy of transport has been examined and the effect of the ionic size on the heat of transport is discussed. The molar entropy of tetrabutylammonium chloride exhibits a sharp minimum in the neighborhood of 0.002M, the reason of which is as yet unclear.
