The (p, ρ, T) properties and apparent molar volumes V_? of ZnBr₂ in ethanol at temperatures (293.15 to 393.15) K and pressures up to p = 40 MPa are reported. The measurements were made with a recently developed vibration-tube densimeter. The system was calibrated using double-distilled water, methanol, ethanol, and aqueous NaCl solutions. The experiments were carried out at molalities of m = (0.05681, 0.16958, 0.30426, 0.43835, 0.93055, 1.49016, and 1.88723) mol · kg^?1 using zinc bromide. An empirical correlation for the density of (ZnBr₂ + C₂H₅OH) with pressure, temperature, and molality has been derived. This equation of state was used to calculate other volumetric properties such as isothermal compressibility, isobaric thermal expansibility, the differences in specific heat capacities at constant pressures and volumes, apparent molar volumes of ZnBr₂ in ethanol, and partial molar volumes of both components.     

Modeling of the quaternary NaCl + KCl + CH3OH + H2O mixed electrolyte system: Binary and ternary mixing (ion + ion) and (ion + nonelectrolyte) interaction parameters

The purpose of this work is modeling of the quaternary system of mixed NaCl + KCl electrolyte in mixed CH₃OH + H₂O solvent, with different alcohol mass fractions by using particularly, the Pitzer (P) and Pitzer–Esteso (PE) equations and based on potentiometric measurement technique. The experimental data are obtained by different molal salt ratio r (r = m_NaCl/m_KCl = 100, 150, 200 and 250) in mixed solvent with different alcohol mass fractions x (x = 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, 0.40, and 0.50) in water. A galvanic cell is employed for collecting the potentiometric data by combining a Na⁺ glass membrane and Ag/AgCl electrodes and using different series of electrolyte solutions, at defined constant ionic strengths, with the molality ranging from 0.0005 up to 3.5 mol · kg⁻¹, at T = 298.15 ± 0.05 K of experiments. Comparison of the models shows that the modified Pitzer equation by Esteso (PE) present a better fit of the experimental data.     

Measurement and modelling of mean activity coefficients of aqueous mixed electrolyte solution containing glycine

Electrochemical measurements were made on (H₂O + NaBr + K₃PO₄ + glycine) mixtures at T = 298.15 K by using ion selective electrodes. The mean ionic activity coefficients of NaBr at molality 0.1 were determined at five K₃PO₄ molalities (0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, and 0.1) mol · kg⁻¹. The activity coefficients of glycine were evaluated from mean ionic activity coefficients of NaBr. The modified Pitzer equation was used to model the experimental data.     

Vapor pressures,osmotic and activity coefficients for (LiBr + acetonitrile) between the temperatures (298.15 and 343.15) K

Precise vapor pressure data for pure acetonitrile and (LiBr + acetonitrile) are given for temperatures ranging from T=(298.15 to 343.15) K. The molality range is from m=(0.0579 to 0.8298) mol · kg⁻¹. The osmotic coefficients are calculated by taking into account the second virial coefficient of acetonitrile. The parameters of the extended Pitzer ion interaction model of Archer and the mole fraction-based thermodynamic model of Clegg–Pitzer are evaluated. These models accurately reproduce the available osmotic coefficients. The parameters of the extended Pitzer ion interaction model of Archer are used to calculate the mean molal activity coefficients.     

Thermodynamic properties of (NaCl + KCl + LiCl + H2O) at T = 298.15 K: Water activities,osmotic and activity coefficients

The water activities of aqueous electrolyte mixture (NaCl + KCl + LiCl + H₂O) were experimentally determined at T = 298.15 K by the hygrometric method at total ionic-strength from 0.4 mol · kg⁻¹ to 6 mol · kg⁻¹ for different ionic-strength fractions y of NaCl with y = 1/3, 1/2, and 2/3. The data allow the deduction of new osmotic coefficients. The results obtained were correlated by Pitzer’s model and Dinane’s mixing rules ECA I and ECA II for calculations of the water activity in mixed aqueous electrolytes. A new Dinane–Pitzer model is proposed for the calculation of osmotic coefficients in quaternary aqueous mixtures using the newly ternary and quaternary ionic mixing parameters of this studied system. The solute activity coefficients of component in the mixture are also determined for different ionic-strength fractions y of NaCl.     

Study on the enthalpy of solution and enthalpy of dilution for the ionic liquid [C3mim][Val] (1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium valine)

A new amino acid ionic liquid (AAIL) [C₃mim][Val] (1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium valine) was prepared by the neutralization method. Using the solution-reaction isoperibol calorimeter, molar solution enthalpies of the ionic liquid [C₃mim][Val] with known amounts of water and with different concentrations in molality were measured at T = 298.15 K. In terms of standard addition method (SAM) and Archer’s method, the standard molar enthalpy of solution for [C₃mim][Val] without water, ${\mathrm{\Delta }}_{\text{s}}{H}_{\text{m}}^{\circ }$ = (−55.7 ± 0.4) kJ · mol⁻¹, was obtained. The hydration enthalpy of the cation [C₃mim]⁺, ΔH₊ ([C₃mim]⁺) = −226 kJ · mol⁻¹, was estimated in terms of Glasser’s theory. Using the RD496-III heat conduction microcalorimeter, the molar enthalpies of dilution, Δ_DH_m(m_i → m_f), of aqueous [C₃mim][Val] with various values of molality were measured. The values of Δ_DH_m(m_i → m_f) were fitted to Pitzer’s ion-interaction model and the values of apparent relative molar enthalpy, ^φL, calculated using Pitzer’s ion-interaction model.     

Determination of thermodynamic properties of aqueous mixtures of RbCl and Rb2SO4 by the EMF method at T=298.15 K

The thermodynamic properties, including activity coefficients, osmotic coefficients and excess Gibbs free energy for RbCl and Rb₂SO₄ aqueous mixtures at T=298.15 K and in 0.01 mol · kg⁻¹ to 5 mol · kg⁻¹ ionic strength, were determined by emf measurements. The Rb–ISE and Ag–AgCl electrodes used in this work were prepared in our laboratory and had a reasonably good Nernst response. The experimental data were fitted by using the Harned rule and Pitzer model. The Harned coefficients and the Pitzer binary and ternary interaction parameters for the system have been evaluated. The experimental results obey the Harned rule. The Pitzer model can be used to describe this aqueous system satisfactorily.     

Lattice potential energies and thermochemical properties of triethylammonium halides (Et3NHX) (X = Cl,Br, and I)

A series of triethylammonium halides (Et₃NHCl, Et₃NHBr, and Et₃NHI) was synthesized. The crystal structures of the three compounds were characterized by X-ray crystallography. The lattice potential energies and ionic radius of the common cation of the three compounds were obtained from crystallographic data. Molar enthalpies of dissolution of the compounds at various values of molality were measured in the double-distilled water at T = 298.150 K by means of an isoperibol solution-reaction calorimeter. According to Pitzer’s theory, the values of molar enthalpies of dissolution at infinite dilution and Pitzer’s parameters of the compounds were obtained. The values of apparent relative molar enthalpies, relative partial molar enthalpies of the solvent and the compounds at different molalities were derived from the experimental values of molar enthalpies of dissolution of the compounds. Finally, hydration enthalpy of the common cation Et₃NH⁺ was calculated to be ΔH₊ = ?(150.386 ± 4.071) kJ · mol^?1 by designing a thermochemical cycle.     

Mean activity coefficient measurement and thermodynamic modelling of the ternary mixed electrolyte (MgCl2 + glucose + water) system at T = 298.15 K

In this work, the mean activity coefficients of MgCl₂ in pure water and (glucose + water) mixture solvent were determined using a galvanic cell without liquid junction potential of type: (Mg²⁺ + ISE)|MgCl₂ (m), glucose (wt.%), H₂O (100 wt.%)|AgCl|Ag. The measurements were performed at T = 298.15 K. Total ionic strengths were from (0.0010 to 6.0000) mol · kg⁻¹. The various (glucose + water) mixed solvents contained (0, 10, 20, 30 and 40)% mass fractions percentage of glucose respectively. The mean activity coefficients measured were correlated with Pitzer ion interaction model and the Pitzer adjustable parameters were determined. Then these parameters were used to calculate the thermodynamics properties for under investigated system. The results showed that Pitzer ion interaction model can satisfactory describe the investigated system. The modified three-characteristic-parameter correlation (TCPC) model was applied to correlate the experimental activity coefficient data for under investigation electrolyte system, too.     

(p, ρ, T) properties and apparent molar volumes Vϕ of LiNO3 in methanol

The (p, ρ, T) properties and apparent molar volumes V_ϕ of LiNO₃ in methanol at T = (298.15 to 398.15) K and pressures up to p = 40 MPa are reported. An empirical correlation for the apparent molar volumes of lithium nitrate in methanol with pressure, temperature and molality has been derived. For the solutions the experiments were carried out at molalities m = (0.15512, 0.29425, 0.53931, 0.89045, 1.80347, and 3.61398) mol · kg⁻¹ of lithium nitrate.     

Mean activity coefficients of NaCl in (sodium chloride + sodium bicarbonate + water) fromT = (293.15 to 308.15) K

The mean activity coefficients of NaCl in (sodium chloride  +  sodium bicarbonate  +  water) were determined experimentally in the temperature range 293.15 K to 308.15 K at four NaHCO₃molality fractions (0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7). The measurements were made with an electrochemical cell, using a Na ⁺ glass ion-selective electrode and a Cl ⁻ solid-state ion-selective electrode. The experimental values reported by Butler and Huston are found to be higher than those calculated from the Pitzer equation using the existing parameters while the experimental results of this work are close to the calculated values, up to an NaHCO₃molality fraction of 0.5. At the NaHCO₃molality fraction of 0.7, the experimental data are much lower than the calculated values, implying that the interference of HCO₃ ⁻ on the Na ⁺ glass ion-selective electrode can only be neglected up to a molality fraction of NaHCO₃of 0.5, an observation which is consistent with that of Butler and Huston.     

Buffer standards for the physiological pH of N-[2-hydroxy-1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl)ethyl]glycine (TRICINE) from T = (278.15 to 328.15) K

The pH values of two buffer solutions without NaCl and seven buffer solutions with added NaCl, having ionic strengths (I = 0.16 mol · kg⁻¹) similar to those of physiological fluids, have been evaluated at 12 temperatures from T = (278.15 to 328.15) K by way of the extended form of the Debye–Hückel equation of the Bates–Guggenheim convention. The residual liquid junction potentials (δE_j) between the buffer solutions of TRICINE and saturated KCl solution of the calomel electrode at T = (298.15 and 310.15) K have been estimated by measurement with a flowing junction cell. For the buffer solutions with the molality of TRICINE(m₁) = 0.06 mol · kg⁻¹, NaTRICINE(m₂) = 0.02 mol · kg⁻¹, and NaCl(m₃) = 0.14 mol · kg⁻¹, the pH values at T = 310.15 K obtained from the extended Debye–Hückel equation and the inclusion of the liquid junction correction are 7.342 and 7.342, respectively. These are in excellent agreement. The zwitterionic buffer TRICINE is recommended as a secondary pH standard in the region for clinical application.

The temperature dependence of the rate constant of the inversion substitution reactions CH₃X + O₂ → CH₃O₂^? + X^? (X = SH, NO₂), can be expressed as k = 6.8 × 10^–12(T/1000)^1.49exp(–62816 cal mol^–1/RT) cm³ s^–1 (X = SH) and k = 6.8 × 10^–12(T/1000)^1.26 × × exp(–61319 cal mol^–1/RT) cm³ s^–1 (X = NO₂), as found with the use of high-level quantum chemical methods and the transition state theory.

Molar enthalpies of dilution Δ_dilH_mofNa₂CO₃(aq) were measured from molality m =  1.45 mol · kg ^− 1to m =  0.008 mol · kg ^− 1at seven temperatures from T =  298 K toT =  523 K at the pressure p =  7 MPa, and at four temperatures fromT =  371 K to T =  523 K at the pressurep =  40 MPa. Molar enthalpies of dilutionΔ_dilH_m of NaHCO₃(aq) were measured fromm =  0.98 mol · kg ^− 1tom =  0.007 mol · kg ^− 1at the same temperatures and pressures. Hydrolysis and ionization equilibria contribute substantially to the measured enthalpies under many of the conditions of this study. Explicit consideration of these reactions, using thermodynamic quantities from previous studies, facilitates a quantitative representation of apparent molar enthalpies, activity coefficients, and osmotic coefficients with the Pitzer ion-interaction treatment over the ranges of temperature, pressure, and molality of the experiments.

This work reports the results of a thermodynamic investigation of the ternary mixed-electrolyte system (CsCl + CaCl₂ + H₂O). The activity coefficients of this mixed aqueous electrolyte system have been studied with the electromotive force measurement (EMF) of the cell: Cs ion-selective electrode (ISE)|CsCl(m_A), CaCl₂(m_B), H₂O|Ag/AgCl at T = 298.15 K and over total ionic strengths from (0.01 to 1.50) mol · kg^?1 for different ionic strength fractions y_B of CaCl₂ with y_B = (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8). The cesium ion-selective electrode (Cs-ISE) and the Ag/AgCl electrode used in this work were made in our laboratory and had a good Nernst response. The experimental results obey the Harned rule, and the Pitzer model can be used to describe this ternary system satisfactorily. The osmotic coefficients, excess Gibbs free energies and activities of water of the mixtures were also calculated.

Osmotic coefficients of the binary solutions of two room-temperature ionic liquids (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride and bromide) in methanol and ethanol have been measured at T = 298.15 K by the isopiestic method. The experimental osmotic coefficient data have been correlated using a forth-order polynomial in terms of (molality)^0.5, with both, ion interaction model of Pitzer and electrolyte non-random two liquid (e-NRTL) model of Chen. The values of vapor pressures of above-mentioned solutions have been calculated from the osmotic coefficients. The model parameters fitted to the experimental osmotic coefficients have been used for prediction of the mean ionic activity coefficients of those ionic liquids in methanol and ethanol.

Enthalpy of formation of zinc acetate dihydrate

The enthalpy of formation of zinc acetate dihydrate (Zn(CH₃COO)₂ · 2H₂O) was measured with respect to crystalline zinc oxide (ZnO), glacial acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and liquid water by room temperature solution calorimetry. The enthalpy of formation was verified by utilizing two independent thermodynamic cycles, using enthalpy of solution measurements in 5 mol · L^?1 sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and in 5 mol · L^?1 hydrochloric acid (HCl) solutions. The enthalpy of the reaction ZnO (cr) + 2CH₃COOH (l) + H₂O (l) to form Zn(CH₃COO)₂ · 2H₂O (cr) is –(65.78 ± 0.36) kJ · mol^?1 for measurements in 5 mol · L^?1 NaOH and –(66.25 ± 0.17) kJ · mol^?1 for measurements in 5 mol · L^?1 HCl. The standard enthalpy of formation of Zn(CH₃COO)₂ · 2H₂O from the elements is –(1669.35 ± 1.30) kJ · mol^?1. This work provides the first calorimetric measurement of the enthalpy of formation of Zn(CH₃COO)₂ · 2H₂O.

The purity of the chemicals was generally greater than 0.99 mass fraction, except for HCOOCs and (COOCs)₂ where purities were approximately 0.95 and 0.97 mass fraction, respectively. The uncertainties are one standard deviations.
