S-Shaped composition dependence of excess thermodynamic quantities for cyclohexane mixtures with globular alkanes

Expansion coefficients , isothermal compressibilities, thermal pressure coefficients and heat capacities have been measured at 25°C for the cyclohexane+trans-decalin system. An S-shaped composition dependence, positivelnegative for highllow cyclohexane compositions is found for C _p ^E dV ^E /dT and the thermal expansion contribution to C _p ^E namely VT. The thermal motion contribution to C _p ^E , namely C _v is close to zero. The positive excursion of these mixing quantities at high cyclohexane content is anomalous. Correspondingly, the mixing quantity-VT deviates strongly in this region from the predicted equality with H ^E . The literature and this work show that all these excess quantities behave similarly for cyclohexane mixed with cyclooctane, methylcyclohexane and some highly branched alkanes. The unusual composition dependence of the thermodynamic quantities is consistent with order occurring when any large alkane molecule of globular shape is added to cyclohexane. This is speculatively associated with an interference by the globular alkane with the relatively free rotation of cyclohexane molecules.     

Physical and Chemical Properties of Dissolved Electrons (Excess Electrons)

Electrons produced in a gaseous, liquid, or solid solvent are called dissolved electrons or excess electrons. These excess electrons can exist as quasi-free particles of high mobility in a delocalized state, comparable with electrons in a metal; or as bound particles of low mobility they can be localized within narrow limits—in a solvent cavity formed by repulsive forces. Localized electrons can also be solvated like normal ions. Characteristically, such solvated electrons exhibit broad and extensive absorption spectra in the visible to near infrared spectral range. The localized and delocalized states of the excess electrons can be in equilibrium with each other, such that a continuous transition of the properties between the limiting extremes can be observed. The reactions of the excess electrons with suitable acceptors (substrates) are initiated by an attachment-detachment equilibrium A + e^? ? A^? which is followed by further chemical rearrangements. The rate constants of these reactions vary by more than 15 powers of ten depending on the substrates and the solvents. Most of the properties of excess electrons in solution can be interpreted by means of a model which is easily understandable but quantitatively evaluated only with considerable effort.     

Partial molar enthalpy properties and correlation of excess molar enthalpy data of acetonitrile + diethylamine or S-butylamine mixtures at various temperatures and atmospheric pressure

Experimental data of excess molar enthalpy of binary mixtures of acetonitrile + diethylamine or S-butylamine mixtures as a function of composition at 288.15, 293.15, 298.15 and 303.15 K at atmospheric pressure have been used to calculate excess partial molar enthalpy and partial molar enthalpy of each component as a function of composition as well as partial molar enthalpy properties at infinite dilution. The Flory and Prigogine–Flory–Patterson (PFP) theories were applied to correlate the data. The results of the calculations as well as the influence of temperature and isomers chain on the partial molar enthalpy properties are discussed.

Heterogeneous ECE Processes at Channel Electrodes: Analytical Solution for all Reaction Rate Constants and Different Diffusion Coefficients

An analytical solution is developed for heterogeneous ECE processes occurring at channel electrode surface for both laminar and turbulent flow. The solution explicitly links the behavior of ECE processes and the parameters. A simple expression of the effective number of electrons transferred, covering all the reaction rate constants and different diffusion coefficients of the reactant A and the intermediate product B, is obtained. Excellent agreement with previous numerical and analytical results is shown . Parametric studies illustrate the effects of diffusion coefficients, hydrodynamic factors and reaction rate constants on the effective number of electrons transferred and the currents.     

Excess Molar Volume and Viscosity of Isobutyric Acid + Water Binary Mixtures Near and Far Away from the Critical Temperature

The excess molar volume V^E, shear viscosity deviation Δη and excess Gibbs energy of activation ΔG^∗E of viscous flow have been investigated by using density (ρ) and shear viscosity (η) measurements for isobutyric acid + water (IBA+W) mixtures over the entire range of mole fractions at five different temperatures, both near and close to the critical temperature (2.055K ≤ (T−T_c)≤ 13.055K). The results were also fitted with the Redlich–Kister equation. This system exhibited very large negative values of V^E and very large positive values of Δη due to increased hydrogen bonding interactions and correlation length between unlike molecules in the critical region and to very large differences between the molar volumes of the pure components at low temperatures. The activation parameters ΔH^∗ and ΔS^∗ have been also calculated and show that the critical region has an important effect on the volumetric properties.     

Volumetric Properties of Ternary-Pseudobinary Mixtures Containing Benzene and Cyclohexane

Densities have been measured as a function of composition for ternary-pseudobinary mixtures of [(benzene + toluene or methylcyclohexane) + (cyclohexane + toluene or methylcyclohexane)] by means of a vibrating-tube densimeter at atmospheric pressure and the temperature 298.15 K. The excess molar volumes, V_m^E, were calculated from the densities and correlated using the Redlich–Kister equation to estimate the coefficients and standard errors. The experimental and calculated quantities are used to discuss the mixing behavior of the components. The results show the third component, toluene and methylcyclohexane, influences the interaction between benzene and cyclohexane.     

Osmotic Coefficients of Aqueous Solutions of Some Poly(oxyethylene) Glycols at the Freezing Point of Solution

Summary. The freezing temperatures of dilute aqueous solutions of some poly(oxyethylene) glycols (PEG, HO–(CH₂CH₂O) _n –H, n varying from 4 to 117) were measured over a solute to solvent mass ratio from 0.0100 to 0.3900. The second and third osmotic virial coefficient (A ₂₂ and A ₂₂₂) of poly(oxyethylene) glycols in aqueous solution were determined. The molecular weight dependence of the second virial coefficient can be described by a simple relation A ₂₂=2×10^–5 M _n ^1.86, and the third virial coefficient is A ₂₂₂=0.038A ₂₂ ². The activity coefficients of the solute were calculated using the Gibbs-Duhem equation as applied by Bjerrum. From the osmotic and activity coefficients the excess Gibbs energies of solution, as well as the respective partial molar functions of solute and solvent and the virial pair interaction coefficients for the excess Gibbs energies were estimated. The second and the third osmotic virial coefficients are correlated with the Mc-Millan-Mayer virial coefficients.
