Heat capacities of butanol and pentanol in aqueous dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide solutions

Heat capacities of the ternary systems water-dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB)-butanol and water-DTAB-pentanol were measured at 25°C. The standard partial molar heat capacities of pentanol in micellar solutions show a maximum at about 0.35 mol-kg^–1 DTAB that has been attributed to a micellar structural transition. This maximum tends to vanish by increasing the alcohol concentration and by decreasing the alcohol alkyl chain length; in the case of butanol it was not detected. The behavior of the standard partial molar heat capacities of alcohols in micellar solutions in the region above the cmc and below the structural transition was explained using a previously reported mass-action model for the alcohol distribution between the aqueous and the micellar phase and the pseudophase transition model for micellization. In the resulting equation the contributions due to the temperature effect on the shift of both the micellization equilibrium and the distribution are shown to be negligible so that only the distribution effect and the shift of the micellization equilibrium due to the added alcohol remain. The distribution constant and the partial molar heat capacities of alcohols in the aqueous and micellar phases have been derived by linear regression. The distribution constant for both alcohols agree well with those previously obtained using different techniques. Since the best fit below the structural transition correlates as well with the experimental points above the structural transition, it seems that no difference exists in the standard partial molar heat capacities of alcohols in the two shapes of the micelles. Also, from the present data and those for alkanols in sodium dodecylsulfate reported in the literature it seems that the standard heat capacity of alcohols in the micellar phase does not depend on both the alcohol alkyl chain length and the nature of the hydrophilic moiety of the head group of the micelles.     

Apparent Molar Volumes and Viscosities of Dl-α-Alanine in Water-Ethanol Mixtures

Abstract

In this work we present a systematic study of the apparent molar volumes and the viscosities of DL-α-alanine in aqueous ethanol solutions at 25,00°C. The molar fractions of ethanol for the solvent mixtures were selected taking into account that thermodynamic properties such as partial molar volumes and heat capacities of these mixtures show a transition concentration around X _et = 0,1 at which its behavior suffers a deep change. Besides, this ethanol concentration is near to that required to produce 50% of protein denaturation.

The results were used to evaluate the limiting partial molar volume V0 of the solute the volume changes associated with its transfer from water to aqueous ethanol solutions and the viscosity B coefficients of DL-α-alanine. The values obtained for the transference molar volumes and the viscosity B coefficients of alanine in the aqueous mixtures show a minimum at X _et = 0,1000. The results are discussed in terms of changes in the solvent structure (Ref. [1])     

Thermodynamics of binary mixtures: Volumes,heat capacities,and dilution enthalpies for then-pentanol+2-methyl-2-butanol system

The densities, heat capacities, and dilution enthalpies ofn-pentanol+2-methyl-2-butanol mixtures have been measured, in many cases as a function of temperature, over the complete mole fraction range. Excesses thermodynamic properties, apparent and partial molar heat capacities, volumes and expansibilities were derived. The concentration and temperature dependences of these functions are discussed in terms of the variations of the structure of the system caused by the participation of the two alcohol molecules (with quite different steric hindrance of the alkyl chain around the-OH group) in the dynamic intermolecular association process through hydrogen bonding.     

The structure of diluted binary solutions of amides according to the heat capacity data

The specific heat capacities of hexamethylphosphoric triamide, diethylpropionamide, their aqueous solutions, and mixtures of hexamethylphosphoric triamide with formamide were measured in the temperature range from 288.15 to 318.15 K. The dependences of the partial molar heat capacity of aqueous solutions of amides on the composition of the mixture have maxima in the region of 0.02–0.04 molar fractions of amide. The maximum on a similar dependence for solutions of hexamethylphosphoric triamide corresponds to the concentration of 0.01 molar fractions. The conclusion on the formation of solvates (hydrates) in the systems studied was made. The heat capacity coefficients of pair and triple interactions were calculated in terms of the McMillan-Mayer theory. A change in the heat capacity characteristics with the temperature change was analyzed. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 12, pp. 2479–2483, December, 1998.     

Volumes and heat capacities of mixtures of dimethylformamide with several dialkylacetamides

Densities and heat capacities per unit volume of binary mixtures of dimethylformamide and a series of di-n-alkylacetamides have been measured and converted into excess molar volumes and heat capacities of the mixtures. In addition, the apparent and partial molar volumes and heat capacities of the various components have been evaluated. They vary smoothly with the mole fraction. The apparent molar heat capacities in the mixtures depend linearly on volume fraction, so that the partial molar heat capacities can be described using only one parameter for each mixture.     

Heat capacity and phase behavior of {C6E4+water} solutions by DSC

The specific heat capacities of {2-(hexyloxytriethoxy)ethanol (C₆E₄)+water} system have been measured from 280 to 333 K within the whole composition range by DSC. Changes of specific, apparent and partial molar heat capacities of investigated aqueous solution vs. composition and temperature, considered as an effect of structural transformations were analyzed in order to draw boundary between region where amphiphile molecules occur as monomers and small aggregates and the area in which the first micelles appear. For each solution, the temperature dependences of the differential heat flow were analyzed in order to find the curve of phase coexistence, i.e. the boundary between one- and two-phase areas for the examined system.     

Phase transition of aqueous solutions of poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) by differential scanning calorimetric and spectrophotometric methods

 The phase transition of aqueous solutions of poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (DEAAm–AA) is studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and UV–vis spectrophotometry. The copolymer aqueous solutions are shown to have well-defined lower critical solution temperatures (LCSTs). The LCST values obtained from the maximum of the first derivatives of the DSC and optical transition curves agree well. DSC can be used to measure the phase-transition temperature of more dilute polymer solutions. On increasing the AA composition in the copolymers, the LCST values of the copolymer increase, then decrease at higher AA composition. For the aqueous solution of the copolymers, the transition curve obtained by the spectrophotometric method is highly wavelength dependent. The LCST values are found to be concentration-dependent. The changes in the heat of the phase transition of the copolymer solutions measured from DSC are lower than that of the homopolymer PDEAAm solution. This is consistent with the suggestion that the polymer chains of the copolymers collapsed only partially at temperatures above the LCST. The added salt (sodium chloride) decreases the transition temperature of the polymer solution. Received: 14 November 2000 Accepted: 15 January 2001     

Thermal Analysis of Binary Mixtures of Imidazolium,Pyridinium, Pyrrolidinium,and Piperidinium Ionic Liquids

Ionic liquids (ILs) are being widely studied due to their unique properties, which make them potential candidates for conventional solvents. To study whether binary mixtures of pure ionic liquids provide a viable alternative to pure ionic liquids for different applications, in this work, the thermal analysis and molar heat capacities of five equimolar binary mixtures of ionic liquids based on imidazolium, pyridinium, pyrrolidinium, and piperidinium cations with dicyanamide, trifluoromethanesulfonate, and bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anions have been performed. Furthermore, two pure ionic liquids based on piperidinium cation have been thermally characterized and the heat capacity of one of them has been measured. The determination and evaluation of both the transition temperatures and the molar heat capacities was carried out using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was observed that the thermal behavior of the mixtures was completely different than the thermal behavior of the pure ionic liquids present, while the molar heat capacities of the binary mixtures were very similar to the value of the average of molar heat capacities of the two pure ionic liquids.     

Isentropic expansion and related thermodynamic properties of non-ionic amphiphile-water mixtures

A concise thermodynamic formalism is developed for the molar isentropic thermal expansion, ES,m = ( partial differential Vm/ partial differential T)(Sm,x), and the ideal and excess quantities for the molar, apparent molar and partial molar isentropic expansions of binary liquid mixtures. Ultrasound speeds were determined by means of the pulse-echo-overlap method in aqueous mixtures of 2-methylpropan-2-ol at 298.15 K over the entire composition range. These data complement selected extensive literature data on density, isobaric heat capacity and ultrasound speed for 9 amphiphile (methanol, ethanol, propan-1-ol, propan-2-ol, 2-methylpropan-2-ol, ethane-1,2-diol, 2-methoxyethanol, 2-ethoxyethanol or 2-butoxyethanol)-water binary systems, which form the basis of tables listing molar and excess molar isobaric expansions and heat capacities, and molar and excess molar isentropic compressions and expansions at 298.15 K and at 65 fixed mole fractions spanning the entire composition range and fine-grained in the water-rich region. The dependence on composition of these 9 systems is graphically depicted for the excess molar isobaric and isentropic expansions and for the excess partial molar isobaric and isentropic expansions of the amphiphile. The analysis shows that isentropic thermal expansion properties give a much stronger response to amphiphile-water molecular interactions than do their isobaric counterparts. Depending on the pair property-system, the maximum excess molar isentropic value is generally twenty- to a hundred-fold greater than the corresponding maximum isobaric value, and occurs at a lower mole fraction of the amphiphile. Values at infinite dilution of the 9 amphiphiles in water are given for the excess partial molar isobaric heat capacity, isentropic compression, isobaric expansion and isentropic expansion. These values are interpreted in terms of the changes occurring when amphiphile molecules cluster into an oligomeric form. Present results are discussed from theoretical and experimental thermodynamic viewpoints. It is concluded that isentropic thermal expansion properties constitute a new distinct resource for revealing particular features and trends in complex mixing processes, and that analyses using these new properties compare favourably with conventional approaches.     

Thermody namic functions of 1,2-alkanediols in dilute aqueous solutions

The heat capacities of binary aqueous solutions of 1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-propanediol and 1,2-butanediol were measured at temperatures ranging from 283.15 to 338.15 K by differential scanning calorimetry. The partial molar heat capacities at the infinite dilution were then calculated for the respective alkanediols. For 1,2-ethanediol or 1,2-propanediol, the partial molar heat capacities at the infinite dilution of increased with increasing temperature. In contrast, the partial molar heat capacities of 1,2-butanediol at the infinite dilution decreased with increasing temperature. Heat capacity changes by dissolution of the alkanediols were also determined. Heat capacity changes caused by the dissolution of 1,2-ethanediol or 1,2-propanediol were increase with increasing temperature. On the other hand, heat capacity changes caused by the dissolution of 1,2-butanediol are decrease with increasing temperature. Thus our results indicated that the structural changes of water caused by the dissolution of 1,2-butanediol differed from that of the two other alkanediols. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Low-temperature heat capacities of the solid compound Zn(C4H7O5)2(s) were measured in a temperature range from 78 to 374 K, with an automated adiabatic calorimeter. A solid-to-solid phase transition occurred in the temperature range of 295?322 K.

Volumes and compressibilities of pentanol in aqueous dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide solutions at 15, 25 and 35°C

Ultrasonic velocities and densities of the water-dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB)-pentanol (PentOH) ternary system were measured at 15, 25 and 35°C as a function of the surfactant and alcohol concentrations. The apparent molar volumes and isentropic compressibilities of PentOH were calculated. The standard partial molar volumes increase with surfactant concentration continuously whereas the standard partial molar isentropic compressibilities show sharp changes in slope at about 0.25 mol-kg^–1 DTAB, which can be ascribed to a micellar structural transition. The volume data for alcohol in micellar solutions were treated by a model reported for the distribution of polar additives between aqueous and micellar phases. In the application of the model to compressibility, the contributions due to the pressure effect on the shift of both the micellization equilibrium and the alcohol distribution constant cannot be neglected. This is in contrast to what is found in the case of heat capacity. The distribution constant and the partial molar volumes and compressibilities of PentOH in the micellar phase have been derived by linear regression. Also, the apparent molar volumes and isentropic compressibilities of DTAB in water-pentanol mixed solvents at fixed composition have been calculated. These properties as a function of the surfactant concentration show maxima depending on the temperature and the mixed solvent composition. The decrease beyond the maximum can be attributed to the extraction of PentOH from the aqueous into the micellar phase, where its concentration tends to zero with the progressive increase of the surfactant concentration. As a consequence, by increasing the surfactant concentration, the apparent molar properties of the surfactant in the mixed solvent shifts towards the value in water.     

Modification of the Two-Point Scaling Theory for the Description of the Phase Transition in Solution. Analysis of Sodium Octanoate Aqueous Solutions

On the basis of conventional scaling theory, the two-point scaling theory was modified in order to describe the influence of composition on the partial molar heat capacity and volume during the micellization process. To verify the theory, isobaric heat capacities and densities of aqueous sodium octanoate solutions were measured over wide composition and temperature ranges and the modified approach was used to analyze the calculated partial molar heat capacities and volumes of the surfactant in water. The results obtained indicate that the micellization process is subject to the scaling laws. The results were compared with those for other systems. Peculiar behavior of the critical indices was observed and correlated with the structure of the micelles.     

The volumetric and thermochemical properties of YCl3(aq), YbCl3(aq), DyCl3(aq), SmCl3(aq), and GdCl3(aq) at T=(288.15, 298.15, 313.15, and 328.15) K and p=0.1 MPa

Relative densities and massic heat capacities have been measured for acidified aqueous solutions of YCl₃(aq), YbCl₃(aq), DyCl₃(aq), SmCl₃(aq), and GdCl₃(aq) at T=(288.15, 298.15, 313.15, and 328.15) K and p=0.1 MPa. These measurements have been used to calculate experimental apparent molar volumes and heat capacities which, when used in conjunction with Young’s rule, were used to calculate the apparent molar properties of the aqueous chloride salt solutions. The latter calculations required the use of volumetric and thermochemical data for aqueous solutions of hydrochloric acid that have been previously reported in the literature. The concentration dependences of the apparent molar properties have been modeled using Pitzer ion interaction equations to yield apparent molar volumes and heat capacities at infinite dilution. The temperature and concentration dependences of the apparent molar volumes and heat capacities of each trivalent salt system were modeled using modified Pitzer ion interaction equations. These equations utilized the revised Helgeson, Kirkham, and Flowers equations of state to model the temperature dependences of apparent molar volumes and heat capacities at infinite dilution. Calculated apparent molar volumes and heat capacities at infinite dilution have been used to calculate single ion properties for the investigated trivalent metal cations. These values have been compared to those previously reported in the literature. The differences between single ion values calculated in this study and those values calculated from thermodynamic data for aqueous perchlorate salts are also discussed.     

Thermodynamic properties of the binary mixture of water and <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-butanol

The molar heat capacities of the binary mixture composed of water and n-butanol were measured with an adiabatic calorimeter in the temperature range 78–320 K. The functions of the heat capacity with respect to thermodynamic temperature were established. A glass transition, solid–solid phase transition and solid–liquid phase transition were observed. The corresponding enthalpy and entropy of the solid–liquid phase transition were calculated, respectively. The thermodynamic functions relative to a temperature of 298.15 K were derived based on the relationships of the thermodynamic functions and the function of the measured heat capacity with respect to temperature.     

Standard Molar Volumes and Heat Capacities of Aqueous Solutions of Trifluoromethanesulfonic Acid at Temperatures up to 573 K and Pressures to 30 MPa

Densities and heat capacities of dilute aqueous solutions (0.025 to 0.4 mol⋅kg⁻¹) of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (triflic acid) were measured with original high-temperature, high-pressure instruments at temperatures and pressures up to 574 K and 31 MPa, respectively. Standard molar volumes and standard molar heat capacities were obtained via extrapolation of the apparent molar properties to infinite dilution. The evolution of these standard derivative properties of triflic acid with temperature and pressure is qualitatively compared with that of other acids of different strengths.     

Volumes and heat capacities of water andN-methylformamide in mixtures of these solvents

The densities of mixtures ofN-methylformamide (NMF) and water (W) have been measured at 5, 15, 25, 35, and 45°C, and the heat capacities of the same system at 25°C, both over the whole mole-fraction range. From the experimental data the apparent molar volumes (_v) and heat capacities (_c) of NMF and of water are evaluated. The relatively small difference between the partial molar volumes or heat capacities at infinite dilution and the corresponding molar volumes or heat capacities of the pure liquids for both NMF and water suggests that with regard to these quantities replacement of a NMF molecule by a water molecule or vice versa produces no drastic changes. The partial molar volume of water at infinite dilution in NMF is smaller than the molar volume of pure water, but the corresponding partial molar heat capacity is unexpectedly high.     

Heat capacities and volumes of methanol+acetonitrile mixtures at 5 and 25°C

Densities and heat capacities of methanol + acetonitrile mixtures were determined over the whole composition range at 5 and 25°C. Apparent and partial molar volumes and heat capacities for both components of the mixture were calculated from these data. These functions for acetonitrile run monotonously over the whole composition range of the mixture at both temperatures, while those for methanol exhibit extrema (volumes-minimum and heat capacities-maximum) at high acetonitrile content. The reasons of the observed behavior of the system are discussed.
