Enthalpies of solutions of ampicillin, amoxycillin and their binary mixtures have been determined at pH 2, 5, and 7 using C-80 calorimeter. The systems showed endothermic behaviour; molar enthalpies of solutions of ampicillin were determined to be 13.32, 15.89 and 23.21 kJ mol(-1) and amoxycillin were 16.32, 18.45 and 26. 25 kJ mol(-1) at pH 2, 5, and 7, respectively. The excess molar enthalpies of solution have also been calculated to find any interaction between these two drugs.
