Second Dissociation Constants of 4-[N-morpholino]butanesulfonic Acid and N-[2-hydroxyethyl]piperazine-N′-4-butanesulfonic Acid from 5 to 55°C

The values of the second dissociation constant, pK ₂, for the dissociation of the NH⁺ charge center of the zwitterionic buffer compounds 4-(N-morpholino)butanesulfonic acid (MOBS), and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-N-4-butanesulfonic acid (HEPBS) have been determined from 5 to 55°C, including, 37°C at intervals of 5°C. The electromotive-force (emf) measurements have been made utilizing hydrogen electrodes and silver–silver chloride electrodes. The value of pK ₂ for MOBS was found to be 7.702 ± 0.0005, and 8.284 ± 0.0004 for HEPBS, at 25°C, respectively. The related thermodynamic quantities, G ^o, H ^o, S ^o, and C _p ^o for the dissociation processes of MOBS and HEPBS have been derived from the temperature coefficients of pK ₂. Both the MOBS and HEPBS buffer materials are useful as primary pH standards for the control of pH 7.3 to 8.6 in the region close to that of physiological fluids.     

Modeling high-pressure densities at wide temperature range with volume scaling: Cyclohexane + n-hexadecane mixtures

High-pressure density data for cyclohexane + n-hexadecane mixtures at a wide temperature range was modeled with several classical equations of state (EOS) and correlative models. A modification for softening the co-volume and another for a volume scaling of the Peng–Robinson EOS (VS-PR) were proposed. The VS-PR model is able to correlate the pure component experimental data employing only five adjustable parameters, with root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) between calculated and experimental densities essentially within the experimental error. This result is superior to widely used approaches, i.e., a six parameter Tait model and six parameter volume translations (temperature and pressure dependent) for Peng–Robinson and Patel–Teja EOS. The VS-PR model also represents well the isobaric thermal expansion and the isothermal compressibility coefficients of the pure cyclohexane, a small naphthenic substance as well as a long chain n-alkane hydrocarbon, n-hexadecane. When modeling the mixture data, the use of VS-PR model of pure components along with the Redlich–Kister expansion, truncated at the first term, the density was correlated within a RMSD only 60% greater than the experimental error. The proposed model is able to accurately represent all the tested mixture data with a relatively small number of parameters.     

Density and Speed of Sound for Binary Mixtures of a Cyclic Ether with a Butanol Isomer

Densities and speeds of sound of the binary mixtures 1,3-dioxolane + 1-butanol, 1,3-dioxolane + 2-butanol, 1,4-dioxane + 1-butanol, and 1,4-dioxane + 2-butanol have been measured at 25 and 40°C. The excess molar volumes and excess isentropic compressibility coefficients were calculated from experimental data and fitted to a Redlich–Kister polynomial function. Results were analyzed in terms of molecular interactions and compared with literature data.     

Modification of the GV-MSA model in obtaining the activity and osmotic coefficients of aqueous electrolyte solutions

In this work a modified form of the Ghotbi–Vera Mean Spherical Approximation model (MGV-MSA) has been used to correlate the mean ionic activity coefficients (MIAC) for a number of symmetric and asymmetric aqueous electrolyte solutions at 25 °C. In the proposed model the hard sphere as well as the electrostatic contributions to the MIAC and the osmotic coefficient of the previously GV-MSA model has been modified. The results of the proposed model for the MIAC of the electrolyte solutions studied in this work are used to directly calculate the values of the osmotic coefficients without introducing any new adjustable parameter. In the MGV-MSA model the cation diameter as well as the relative permittivity of water depends on the electrolyte concentration. Having considered such dependency for both cation and relative permittivity for water in an electrolyte solution the modification of the GV-MSA has been made. It should be stated that in the MGV-MSA model the anion diameter in the solution similar to that in the GV-MSA model remains constant and independent of the electrolyte concentration. The results obtained from the proposed model have been favorably compared with those of the GV-MSA model. The results showed that the MGV-MSA model can more accurately correlate the MIAC of the single electrolyte solutions than those of the GV-MSA model. The same comparison has been observed in case of the osmotic coefficients for the electrolyte solutions studied in this work. It should be noted that in order to do an unequivocal comparison between the results obtained from the models used in this work the same minimization procedure and the same experimental data for the MIAC and the osmotic coefficients have been used. Also it should be mentioned that in the MGV-MSA model the conversion from the McMillan–Mayer (MM) framework to that of the Lewis–Randall (LR) has been performed. It has been concluded that such transformation can affect the results in particular at higher electrolyte concentrations.     

Determination of Diffusion Coefficients for Binary Nonelectrolyte Mixtures. A Free-Volume Predictive Approach

A diaphragm cell has been used to measure mutual diffusion coefficients at 25°C for four binary nonelectrolyte mixtures: ethylbenzene + n-hexane, carbon tetrachloride + ethylbenzene, cyclohexane + p-xylene, and 1,2-dichloroethane + cyclohexane. A free-volume predictive approach for binary mutual diffusion coefficients was developed and tested. Only infinite dilution diffusion coefficients, some readily available pure substance data, and UNIFAC group contribution parameters are used in the model. No binary equilibrium thermodynamic information is required. For 73 binary systems with an overall average absolute deviation of 5.2%, it has been shown that the developed method is better than two commonly available reference methods for the prediction of liquid diffusion coefficients.     

Lithium bromide in acetonitrile: Thermodynamics,theory, and simulation

A variety of methods has been used for the study of lithium bromide solutions in acetonitrile yielding by their combination reliable information on different levels of approximation. Osmotic coefficients based on precise vapor pressure measurements are reproduced by CM (chemical model) and HNC (hypernetted chain) calculations and by BD (brownian dynamics) simulations. The results of neutron scattering experiments are treated with the help of HNC and BD methods. Hartree-Fock calculations on isolated LiBr pairs and solvated lithium ions yield reliable particle distances and reveal the geometry of the lithium solvation sphere.

Qualitative estimation of the dependence of the number of energetic compounds on their oxygen coefficient

The ratio between the numbers of structural formulas of C,H,N,O-containing energetic compounds belonging to the classes of fuels (low values of the oxygen coefficientA), explosives (mediumA), and oxidants (highA values) was studied by a computer generation procedure. The number of the theoretically possible structural formulas was found to decrease rapidly on going from fuels to explosives and then to oxidants; this observation agrees with the data on the numbers of various energetic compounds currently used and proposed. The strategy of the search for new compounds with the specified properties is described in brief, and its applicability to the search for explosives and oxidants with a small (up to 12) number of atoms in a molecule is evaluated.
