The density and speed of sound of L-arginine (0.025–0.2 mol kg^?1) in aqueous + D-maltose (0–6 mass% of maltose in water) were obtained at temperatures of (298.15, 303.15 and 308.15) K. The apparent molar volume, limiting apparent molar volume, transfer volume, as well as apparent molar compressibility, limiting apparent molar compressibility, transfer compressibility, pair and triple interaction coefficients, partial molar expansibilities, coefficient of thermal expansion and also the hydration number, were calculated using the experimental density and speed of sound values. The results have been discussed in terms of solute–solute and solute–solvent interactions in these systems. Solute–solvent (hydrophilic–ionic group and hydrophilic–hydrophilic group) interactions were found to be dominating over solute–solute (hydrophobic–hydrophilic group) interactions in the solution, which increases with increase in maltose concentration.

Volumetric properties of dilute aqueous solutions of poly(ethylene glycols)

The densities of aqueous solutions of some poly(ethylene glycols) (mono-, di-, tri-, and tetraethylene glycol, and four carbowaxes with a mean molecular weight ranging from 600 to 15,000), and of di-, tri-, and tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether have been determined at 25°C, in the concentration range 5–100 g/liter. From these data, the limiting partial specific and/or molar volume of the solute has been calculated. A value of 37.0 ml/monomole has been evaluated for the partial molar volume of the repeating unit ? CH₂CH₂O? , and has been found independent of both terminal groups and chain length. The results suggest that the ethylene units in higher polymers are accessible to the solvent as easily as in oligomers, and support an “open” or extended conformation of the poly(ethylene glycol) chain in aqueous dilute solution. This interpretation has been confirmed by a comparison of the experimental values of partial molar volume with the values calculated by semiempirical models.

Use of Masson's and Jones–Dole equations to study different types of interactions of three pharmacologically important drugs in ethanol

The volumetric and viscometric study of three allopathic drugs (sodium valporate, benzalkonium chloride, and losartan potassium) in ethanol solvent is reported here. This study was carried out at four different temperatures that is, from 288.15 to 318.15 K. The accurately measured density values were used to calculate partial molar volume at infinite dilution, solute–solute interaction parameter, Hepler's constant, partial molar expansivity constant, and isobaric thermal expansion coefficient. The viscosity measurements were carried out for the calculation of constants of Jones–Dole equation and to calculate different thermodynamic parameters of viscous flow which include standard free energy change, standard enthalpy change, and standard entropy change of viscous flow. All these viscometric and volumetric parameters are useful for understanding the different types of interactions of drugs in solution and to study the drug action in body. The results of both volumetric and viscometric studies showed that all drugs had structure promoting effect on solvent, existing of strong solute–solvent interaction, and very weak solute–solute interaction. For all these drugs, solvophobic interaction was found to be dominant over electrostriction. Viscometric studies also showed the existing of stronger solute–solvent interaction in ground state as compared to that in transition state.     

The Effect of the Molecular Size and Shape on the Volume Behavior of Binary Liquid Mixtures. Branched and Cyclic Alkanes in Heptane at 298.15 K

Excess molar volumes V ^E for 40 mixtures of heptane with a liquid alkane and apparent molar volumes in heptane for eight solid alkanes have been obtained at 298.15 K. They include five linear, 30 branched-chain, and 13 cyclic alkanes. Almost all systems exhibit negative V ^E values. For mixtures with open chain alkanes, V ^E increases from C5 to C7 and then decreases. A similar trend is shown by mixtures with cycloalkanes. V ^E values are compared with known H ^E data for mixtures with heptane and tetrachloromethane. Signs and trends of V ^E and H ^E are correlated with the free volume and interactional terms of the Flory theory. The partial molar volumes at infinite dilution in heptane, V°, have also been obtained and discussed together with literature data on other hydrocarbons and polar compounds. The calculated contributions to V° by CH₃, CH₂, CH and C groups are compared with previously determined contributions of polar groups. The lower contributions of the latter groups are explained with the volume contraction caused by dipole-induced dipole interaction. The volume effects associated with branching and cyclization have been evaluated and compared with the corresponding effects on solvation enthalpy. The branching effect, in the order of magnitude of few cm³·mol^?1, and the larger negative values of cyclization volumes, down to ?24 cm³·mol^?1, are discussed in terms of packing and solute–solvent interactions, in analogy to polar organic solutes either in heptane and tetrachloromethane. A negative cyclization effect is also exhibited by the solvation enthalpies.
