1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate absorbs up to 27% of water from air at room temperature with liberation of a large amount of heat, 11 kJ mol −1 . Ions of the ionic liquid do not enter into chemical reaction with water but form a stable complex of ethylmethylimidazolium acetate with 12H 2 O molecules (EMIA·12H 2 O).
