Partial Molar Volumes of Some of α-Amino Acids in Binary Aqueous Solutions of MgSO4·7H2O at 298.15 K

The apparent molar volume, V ^o _{φ, 2}, of glycine, alanine, α-amino-n-butyric acid, valine and leucine have been determined in aqueous solutions of 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 mol⋅dm⁻³ magnesium sulfate, and the partial specific volume from density measurements at 298.15 K. These data have been used to calculate the infinite dilution apparent molar volume, V ^o _2,m , group contribution of amino acids and partial molar volume of transfer, Δ_tr V _2,m ^o, from water to aqueous magnesium sulfate solutions. The linear correlation of V _2,m ^o for a homologous series of amino acids has been utilized to calculate the contributions of charged end groups (NH₃ ⁺, COO⁻), CH₂ - groups and other alkyl chains of amino acids to V _2,m ^o. The results for Δ_tr V _2,m ^o of amino acids from water to aqueous magnesium sulfate solutions have been interpreted in terms of ion-ion, ion-polar, hydrophilic-hydrophilic and hydrophobic-hydrophobic group interactions. The values of the standard partial molar volume of transfer for the amino acids with different hydrophobic contents, from water to aqueous MgSO₄ are in general positive, indicating the predominance of the interactions of zwitterionic/hydrophilic groups of amino acids with ions of the salt. The hydration number decreases with increasing concentration of salt. The number of water molecules hydrated to amino acids decreases, further strengthening the predominance of ionic/hydrophilic interactions in this system.     

Interactions of Some Amino Acids with Aqueous N,N-Dimethylacetamide Solutions at 298.15 and 308.15 K: A Volumetric Approach

The apparent molar volumes, V _φ , of glycine, L-alanine and L-serine were obtained in aqueous 0 to ∼4 mol⋅kg⁻¹ N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) solutions from density measurements at 298.15 and 308.15 K. The standard partial molar volume, V _φ ^o, and standard partial molar volumes of transfer, Δ_tr V _φ ^o, were determined for these amino acids. It has been shown that hydrophilic-hydrophilic interactions between charged groups of the amino acids and the —CON= group of DMA are predominant in the case of glycine and L-serine, but for L-alanine the interactions between its side group (—CH₃) and DMA are predominant. An increase in temperature increases the standard partial molar volumes but decreases the transfer volumes of the amino acids. The results have been interpreted in terms of cosphere overlap model.     

Partial molar heat capacities and volumes of transfer of some saccharides from water to aqueous sodium chloride solutions at T=298.15 K

Partial molar heat capacities (C^o_p,2,m) and volumes (V^o_2,m) of seven monosaccharides, namely, d(−)-ribose, d(−)-arabinose, d(+)-xylose, d(+)-glucose, d(+)-mannose, d(+)-galactose, and d(−)-fructose; five disaccharides, namely, sucrose, d(+)-cellobiose, d(+)-maltose monohydrate, d(+)-lactose monohydrate, d(+)-trehalose dihydrate, and one trisaccharide, d(+)-raffinose pentahydrate, have been determined in NaCl(aq), m = (1.0, 2.0, and 3.0) mol·kg⁻¹ at T=298.15 K from volumic heat capacity and density measurements employing a Picker flow microcalorimeter and a vibrating-tube densimeter, respectively. These data were combined with the earlier reported C^o_p,2,m and V^o_2,m values in water to calculate the corresponding partial molar properties of transfer (Δ_trC^o_p,2,m and Δ_trV^o_2,m) from water to aqueous sodium chloride solutions at infinite dilution. These transfer parameters are positive, and the values increase with the concentration of sodium chloride for all the saccharides. Transfer parameters have been discussed in terms of solute-cosolute interactions on the basis of a cosphere overlap model. Pair and higher-order interaction coefficients have also been calculated from transfer parameters.     

Interactions of Some Amino Acids with Aqueous Osmoprotectant Proline at 298.15 K: Volumetric and Calorimetric Studies

Apparent molar volumes of a homologous series of amino acids in aqueous proline solutions have been obtained from densities at 298.15 K, measured with a vibrating-tube digital densimeter. These data have been used to deduce the partial molar volumes of transfer from water to aqueous proline solutions; these partial molar volumes of transfer are found to be positive for glycine, alanine, α-amino-n-butyric acid and valine, whereas they are negative for leucine. The number of water molecules hydrated to the amino acids was estimated from the partial molar volume data. In order to supplement this information, enthalpies of transfer of aqueous amino acids from water to 0.1, 2.25 and 1 mol⋅dm⁻³ aqueous proline have been determined at 298.15 K using a VP-ITC titration calorimeter. The data on the partial molar volumes and enthalpies of transfer are discussed in terms of various interactions operating in the ternary mixtures of amino acids, water and proline.     

Volumetric Properties of Amino Acids and Hen-Egg White Lysozyme in Aqueous Triton X-100 at 298.15 K

The apparent molar volumes, V_,2, of glycine, alanine, -amino-n-butyric acid, valine, leucine, and lysine monohydrochloride have been determined in aqueous solutions of 0.05, 0.1, and 0.4 mol-kg^–1 Triton X-100 (TX-100), and the partial specific volume, v⁰, of hen-egg-white lysozyme in 0.4 mol-kg^–1 TX-100 by density measurements at 298.15 K. These data have been used to calculate the infinite dilution apparent molar volumes, V_2,m⁰, for the amino acids in aqueous TX-100 solutions and the standard partial molar volumes of transfer, _tr V_2,m⁰, of the amino acids from water to the aqueous surfactant solutions. The linear correlation of V_2,m⁰ for a homologous series of amino acids has been utilized to calculate the contribution of the charged end groups (NH₃⁺, COO^–), CH₂ group and other alkyl chains of the amino acids to V_2,m⁰. The results on _tr V_2,m⁰, of amino acids from water to aqueous TX-100 solutions have been interpreted in terms of ion–ion, ion–polar, hydrophilic–hydrophilic and hydrophobic–hydrophobic group interactions. For all the six amino acids studied, the values of _tr V_2,m⁰ from water to all the studied concentrations of aqueous TX-100 are small in spite of their different hydrophobic content, indicating an overall balance in interactions of zwitterionic/hydrophilic groups of amino acids with the hydrophilic groups of TX-100, and of hydrophobic and ionic/hydrophilic groups of the amino acids with hydrophobic groups of TX-100. Comparison of the interactions of the amino acids with nonionic, anionic and cationic surfactants has also been made and discussed. The partial specific volume of transfer of lysozyme from water to aqueous TX-100 solutions also indicates a balance of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions in the protein–nonionic surfactant system.     

Densities, Specific Heat Capacities, Apparent and Partial Molar Volumes and Heat Capacities of Glycine in?Aqueous Solutions of Formamide, Acetamide, and?N,N-Dimethylacetamide at T=298.15?K and?Ambient Pressure

Apparent molar volumes (V _2,φ ) and heat capacities (C _p2,φ ) of glycine in known concentrations (1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, and 8.0 mol⋅kg⁻¹) of aqueous formamide (FM), acetamide (AM), and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) solutions at T=298.15 K have been calculated from relative density and specific heat capacity measurements. These measurements were completed using a vibrating-tube flow densimeter and a Picker flow microcalorimeter, respectively. The concentration dependences of the apparent molar data have been used to calculate standard partial molar properties. The latter values have been combined with previously published standard partial molar volumes and heat capacities for glycine in water to calculate volumes and heat capacities associated with the transfer of glycine from water to the investigated aqueous amide solutions, D[`(V)]<sub>2,tr</sub><sup>o</sup>\Delta\overline{V}_{\mathrm{2,tr}}^{\mathrm{o}} and D[`(C)]_p2,tr^o\Delta\overline{C}_{p\mathrm{2,tr}}^{\mathrm{o}} respectively. Calculated values for D[`(V)]<sub>2,tr</sub><sup>o</sup>\Delta\overline{V}_{\mathrm{2,tr}}^{\mathrm{o}} and D[`(C)]_p2,tr^o\Delta\overline{C}_{p\mathrm{2,tr}}^{\mathrm{o}} are positive for all investigated concentrations of aqueous FM and AM solutions. However, values for D[`(C)]_p2,tr^o\Delta\overline{C}_{p\mathrm{2,tr}}^{\mathrm{o}} associated with aqueous DMA solutions are found to be negative. The reported transfer properties increase with increasing co-solute (amide) concentration. This observation is discussed in terms of solute + co-solute interactions. The transfer properties have also been used to estimate interaction coefficients.     

Interactions of Some Amino Acids with Aqueous Tetraethylammonium Bromide at 298.15 K: A Volumetric Approach

The apparent molar volumes, V_,2, of glycine, L-alanine, DL--amino-n-butyric acid, L-valine, and L-leucine have been determined in aqueous 0.25, 0.75, 1.0, and 1.5 mol-dm^–3 tetraethylammonium bromide (TEAB) solutions by density measurements at 298.15 K. These data have been used to calculate the infinite dilution apparent molar volumes, V_2,m, for the amino acids in aqueous tetraethylammonium bromide and the standard partial molar volumes of transfer (_tr V_2,m) of the amino acids from water to the aqueous salt solutions. The linear correlation of V_2,m for a homologous series of amino acids has been utilized to calculate the contribution of the charged end groups (NH₃⁺, COO^–), CH₂ group, and other alkyl chains of the amino acids to V_2,m. The results of the standard partial molar volumes of transfer from water to aqueous tetraethylammonium bromide have been interpreted in terms of ion–ion, ion–polar, and hydrophobic–hydrophobic group interactions. The volume of transfer data suggest that ion–ion or ion–hydrophilic interactions are predominant in the case of glycine and alanine, and hydrophobic–hydrophobic group interactions are predominant in the case of DL--amino butyric acid, L-valine, and L-leucine.     

Interactions of some amino acids and glycine peptides with aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfate and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide at T=298.15 K: a volumetric approach

The apparent molar volumes V_φ of glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, and lysine have been determined in aqueous solutions of 0.05, 0.5, 1.0 mol · kg⁻¹ sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and 1.0 mol · kg⁻¹ cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) by density measurements at T=298.15 K. The apparent molar volumes have also been determined for diglycine and triglycine in 1 mol · kg⁻¹ SDS and CTAB solutions. These data have been used to calculate the infinite dilution apparent molar volumes V₂⁰ for the amino acids and peptides in aqueous SDS and CTAB and the standard partial molar volumes of transfer (Δ_trV_2,m⁰) of the amino acids and peptides to these aqueous surfactant solutions. The linear correlation of V₂⁰ for a homologous series of amino acids has been utilized to calculate the contribution of the charged end groups (NH₃⁺, COO⁻), CH₂ group and other alkyl chains of the amino acids to V₂⁰. The results on the partial molar volumes of transfer from water to aqueous SDS and CTAB have been interpreted in terms of ion–ion, ion–polar and hydrophobic–hydrophobic group interactions. The volume of transfer data suggests that ion–ion or ion–hydrophilic group interactions of the amino acids and peptides are stronger with SDS compared to those with CTAB. Comparison of the hydration numbers of amino acids calculated in the present studies with those in other solvents from literature shows that these numbers are almost the same at 1 mol · kg⁻¹ level of the cosolvent/cosolute. Increasing molality of the cosolvent/cosolute beyond 1 mol · kg⁻¹ lowers the hydration number of the amino acids due to increased interactions with the solvent and reduced electrostriction.     

Thermodynamics of the Interaction of a Homologous Series of Amino Acids with Sorbitol

The apparent molar volumes V _2,φ , apparent molar isentropic compressibilities K _S,2,φ , and enthalpies of dilution of aqueous glycine, alanine, α-amino butyric acid, valine, and leucine have been determined in aqueous 1.0 and 2.0 mol⋅dm⁻³ sorbitol solutions at 298.15 K. These data have been used to calculate the infinite dilution standard partial molar volumes V_2,m⁰V_{2,m}^{0}, partial molar isentropic compressibilities K_S,2,m⁰K_{S,2,m}^{0}, and enthalpies of dilution Δ_dil H ⁰ of the amino acids in aqueous sorbitol, along with the standard partial molar quantities of transfer of the amino acids from water to aqueous sorbitol. The linear correlation of V_2,m⁰V_{2,m}^{0} for this homologous series of amino acids has been utilized to calculate the contribution to V₂⁰V_{2}^{0} of the charged end groups (NH₃⁺\mathrm{NH}_{3}^{+}, COO⁻), the CH₂ group, and other alkyl chains of the amino acids. The results for the standard partial molar volumes of transfer, compressibilites and enthalpies of dilution from water to aqueous sorbitol solutions have been correlated and interpreted in terms of ion–polar, ion–hydrophobic, and hydrophobic–hydrophobic group interactions. A comparison of these thermodynamic properties of transfer suggest that an enhancement of the hydrophilic/polar group interactions is operating in ternary systems of amino acid, sorbitol, and water.     

Partial Molar Volumes of Amino Acids and Peptides in Aqueous Salt Solutions at 25°C and a Correlation with Stability of Proteins in the Presence of Salts

Partial molar volumes for a homologous series of amino acids and peptides have been measured in aqueous 1M sodium acetate, sodium thiocyanate, and sodium sulfate at 25^°C. These data have been utilized in conjunction with the data in water to deduce partial molar volumes of transfer V _2,m ⁰(tr) from water to these aqueous salt solutions. The volumes of transfer for the amino acids and peptides are found to be positive. The interpretation is that this result arises from the dominant interaction of the sodium salts with the charged centers of amino acids and peptides. Thermal denaturation of the structurally homologous proteins lysozyme and -lactalbumin has been studied in the presence of these salts. Significant thermal stabilization of hen egg-white lysozyme has been observed in the presence of sodium acetate and sodium sulfate. However, the thermal stabilization observed for -lactalbumin is very small in the presence of these salts and sodium thiocyanate leads to a lowering of its thermal denaturation temperature. The rise in the surface tension of aqueous salt solutions with salt concentration has been correlated with the calorimetric and volumetric measurements. The results show that V _2,m ⁰(tr) depends less on the type of electrolyte than on the ionic strength of the solution. The V _2,m ⁰(tr) values correlate very well with the increase in the surface tension of aqueous salt solutions, indicating significant role of surface tension in interactions of amino acids, peptides, or protein with the salts.

The solubilities of N-[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl]-3-aminopropanesulfonic acid (TAPS) or N-[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl]-3-amino-2-hydroxypropanesulfonic acid (TAPSO) in water and in aqueous solutions of CH₃COOK (KAc), KBr, KCl, or NaCl were determined from density measurements at 298.15 K. The solubilities of TAPS in aqueous solution decrease with increasing concentration of the salts (salting-out effect), whereas those of TAPSO increase with increasing concentration of the salts (salting-in effect). The solubility and density data were further used to calculate the apparent transfer Gibbs energies, Δ_tr G, and transfer molar volumes, D_trV_f^o\Delta_{\mathrm{tr}}V_{\phi}^{\mathrm{o}}, of these buffers from water to aqueous electrolyte solutions at 298.15 K. The contributions of various functional groups of TAPS, TAPSO, and the related buffers (tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, TRIS, and N-tris[hydroxymethyl]-4-amino-butanesulfonic acid, TABS) to the transfer properties were systematically estimated from the calculated Δ_tr G and D_trV_f^o\Delta_{\mathrm{tr}}V_{\phi}^{\mathrm{o}}.

The trends of variation of ? _v ⁰ and Δ_tr? _v ⁰ with change in temperature have been discussed in terms of ion-ion, ion-hydrophilic, and ion-hydrophobic interactions operative in solutions.     

A Volumetric Study of Water–Decyltrimethylanimonium Bromide–Pentanol Ternary System from 25 to 130°C at 2 and 19 MPa

Density measurements on decyltrimethylammonium bromide (DeTAB)–water and pentanol (PentOH)–DeTAB–water systems as functions of both alcohol and surfactant m _S concentrations were carried out at 2 and 19 MPa from 25 to 130°C. From experimental data for the water–DeTAB binary system, the standard (infinite dilution) partial molar volumes, expansibilities, and compressibilities of DeTAB, and the corresponding properties in the micellar phase are calculated. The trends of the standard partial molar volumes of PentOH V _R ^o in DeTAB micellar solutions as functions of m _S reflect the transfer of PentOH from the aqueous to the micellar phase, except at 130°C and 19 MPa. On the basis of an equation previously used, the distribution constant of PentOH between the aqueous and the micellar phases and the standard partial molar volume of alcohol in the aqueous and the micellar phases are obtained from V _R ^o data. Comparisons with data for PentOH in dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide are made.     

Temperature and salt addition effects on the solubility behaviour of some phenolic compounds in water

Solubility-temperature dependence data for six phenolic compounds (PhC), contained in olive mill wastewater (OMWW), in water and in some chloride salts (KCl, NaCl, and LiCl) aqueous solutions have been presented and solution standard molar enthalpies (Δ_solH^∘) were determined using Van’t Hoff plots. The temperature was varied from 293.15 K to 318.15 K. Solubility data were estimated using a thermostated reactor and HPLC analysis. It has been observed that solubility, in pure water and in aqueous chloride solutions, increases with increasing temperature. The salting-out LiCl > NaCl > KCl order obtained at 298.15 K is confirmed. Results were interpreted in terms of the salt hydration shells and the ability of the solute to form hydrogen-bond with water. The standard molar Gibbs free energies of transfer of PhC (Δ_trG^∘) from pure water to aqueous solutions of the chloride salts have been calculated from the solubility data. In order to estimate the contribution of enthalpic and entropic terms, standard molar enthalpies (Δ_trH^∘) and entropies (Δ_trS^∘) of transfer have also been calculated. The decrease in solubility is correlated to the positive Δ_trG^∘ value which is mainly of enthalpic origin.

These parameters have been discussed in terms of various interactions between the acidic/basic amino acids and organic salts in these solutions. The effect of the hydrophobic chain length of the carboxylate ions has also been discussed.

The transfer volumes are positive for glycine and DL--alanine, and both positive and negative for the other amino acids over the concentration range studied. Interaction coefficients have been obtained from McMillan–Mayer approach and the data have been interpreted in terms of solute–cosolute interactions.

Solute–Solvent Interactions of Amino Acids in Aqueous 1-Propyl-3-Methylimidazolium Bromide Ionic Liquid Solutions at 298.15 K

Densities, viscosities, and refractive indices of three amino acids (glycine, L-alanine, and L-valine) in aqueous solutions of an ionic liquid, 1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, have been measured at 298.15 K. These data have been used to calculate apparent molar volumes (V _φ ), viscosity B-coefficients, and molar refractions of these mixtures. The standard partial molar volumes (V_f⁰V_{\phi}^{0}) and standard partial molar volumes of transfer (D_trV_f⁰\Delta_{\mathrm{tr}}V_{\phi}^{0}) have been determined for these amino acid solutions from these density data. The resulting values of V_f⁰V_{\phi}^{0} and D_trV_f⁰\Delta_{\mathrm{tr}}V_{\phi}^{0} for transfer of amino acids from water to aqueous ionic liquid solutions have been interpreted in terms of solute + solvent interactions. These data also indicate that hydrophobic interactions predominate in L-alanine and L-valine solutions. Linear correlations were found for both V_f⁰V_{\phi}^{0} and the viscosity B-coefficient with the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain of the amino acids, and have been used to estimate the contribution of the charged end groups (NH₃⁺\mathrm{NH}_{3}^{+}, COO⁻), the CH₂ group, and other alkyl chains of the amino acids. The viscosity and molar refractivity results have been used to confirm the conclusions obtained from volumetric properties.     

Volumetric and Viscometric Studies of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′-Bis(salicylaldehyde)-1,3-diaminopropane Schiff Base (Salpr) in Ionic Liquid + DMF solutions

These data have been used to calculate standard partial molar volumes, V_f ⁰V_{\phi} ^{0}, transfer partial molar volumes, Δ_tr V ⁰, and viscosity B-coefficients of the solutions. The transfer partial molar volumes are negative, and decrease with increasing the concentration of ionic liquid for all of the investigated solutions. It found that this ionic liquid interacts strongly with the Schiff base (Salpr) and has desolvation effect on the Schiff base molecules.
