Potentiometric measurements of the first hydrolysis quotient of magnesium(II) to 250°C and 5 molal ionic strength (NaCl)

The first molal hydrolysis quotient, Q_1.1, of Mg²⁺ was measured potentiometrically from 1 to 250°C at ionic strengths of 0.11, 0.31, 1.01, and 5.0 mol-kg^-1 in an aqueous NaCl medium using a hydrogen-electrode, concentration cell. Only hydrolysis of the first four percent of the magnesium in solution could be followed before precipitation of brucite, Mg(OH)₂(cr), occurred. The log Q_1.1 values were fitted as a function of temperature and ionic strength using four adjustable parameters. The resulting constants are compared with the limited existing low temperature data. At infinite dilution and 25°C the following quantities are reported: logK _1.1 = -11.68±0.05, †H_so = 70.1±1.2 kJ-mol^-1, †S^o = 11±4 J-K^-1-mol^-1, and †C _p ^o = 0 J-K^-1-mor^-1. At each ionic strength, including the values extrapolated to infinite dilution, the heat capacity change for the hydrolysis reaction was zero,i.e., logQ _1.1 was found to be a linear function of the reciprocal temperature in Kelvin, at least over the measured range of l-250°C. The hydrolysis constants at infinite dilution were modeled to 550°C and two kbar pressure with a function incorporating solvent density using published results obtained at these extreme conditions.     

The dielectric properties of water in its different states of interaction

A tutorial on dielectric (relaxation) spectrometry of liquids is given in this article. Some methods of measuring complex (electric) permittivity spectra are briefly described. Results for water are presented and related to characteristic properties of the liquid structure and to models of the molecular dynamics, particularly as resulting from computer simulation studies. Dielectric spectra for aqueous solutions of low weight electrolytes, polyelectrolytes, small molecules, and polymers are discussed to illustrate effects of kinetic depolarization, structure saturation, as well as positive, negative, and hydrophobic hydration. Reference is also made to fluctuations in the hydrogen bond network of mixtures of water with liquids that are completely miscible with this unique solvent.     

Thermodynamic and Dynamic Properties of Micellar Aggregates of Nonionic Surfactants with Short Hydrophobic Tails

The densities and viscosities of binary aqueous mixtures of poly(ethylenoxide)hexanols [C₆H₁₃(OCH₂CH₂)_mOH, C₆E_m] (m= 3, 4, and 5) have been studied in the micellar composition range. For the same surfactants the self-diffusion coefficients in mixtures with heavy water have been determined by the spin-echo pulsed field gradient method. The volumetric data are interpreted by means of the phase separation model, and values of the CMC, volume change, and standard free energy change of micellization are obtained. From the viscosity data the hydration numbers of the surfactant hydrophilic head in the micellar state are computed; they are in agreement with those obtained from HDO self-diffusion data. The surfactant self-diffusion data are used to calculate the apparent micelle radius and the aggregation number. The micellization parameters obtained for the different surfactants are compared and discussed.     

Ionization of carbonic acid in sodium chloride solutions at 25°C

The stoichiometric pK ₁ ^* and pK ₂ ^* for the ionization of carbonic acid has been determined from emf measurements in NaCl soluions to 6.0m at 25°C. Our results at low concentrations are in good agreement with the results of Harned and Bonner, of Dyrssen and Hansson and of Roy et al. The calculated values of pK ₁ ^* using Pitzer's equations agree with the measured values to ±0.01 pK units provided higher order terms are used. It was necessary to use a triplet interaction parameter () and higher order electrostatic terms (^E) to calculate reliable values of pK ₂ ^* (±0.03 pK units) over the entire concentration range. These results demonstrate the reliability of the Pitzer equations to estimate activity coefficients in concentrated salt solutions.     

Conductance of aqueous NaCl solutions at pressures up to 2000 atm

Electrical conductance measurements are reported for aqueous NaCl solutions at 25°C as a function of concentration up to 0.02M and pressures up to 2000 atm. The data were analyzed with the Fuoss-Hsia-Fernandez-Prini (FHFP) equation. The standard error of fit, , varies from 0.04 at 1 atm to 0.10 at 2000 atm. The increase of with pressure arises from increasing non-randomness in the distribution of errors about the FHFP equation suggesting that modifications in the theory are necessary. The pressure dependence of _O for NaCl and KCl is nearly identical.Contribution of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, New Series

6AZO-CONTAINING SELF-ASSEMBLY ULTRA-THIN FILMS AND THEIR PHOTOVOLTAIC PROPERTIES

A kind of azo-containing resin (Azo-R) was synthesized by a simple way through the coupling reaction of 2-nitro-N-methyldiphenylamine-4-diazoresin (NDR) with phenol, and a new covalentely attached multilayer film from Azo-R as H-donor and photosensitive diazoresin, diphenylamine-4-diazoresin (DR) as H-acceptor via H-bonding attraction by selfassembly technique has been fabricated. Following the decomposition of diazonium group of DR under exposure to UV light, the H-bonds between the layers of the film convert to covalent bonds and the film becomes very stable toward polar solvents or electrolyte aqueous solutions. Thus the UV-irradiated azo-containing films can be used to measure photocurrent in a conventional three-electrode photoelectrochemical cell using KCl as supporting electrolyte. It was confirmed that the azo-containing multilayer film is responsible for the photocurrent generation.     

On the properties of surfactant aqueous solutions

Summary From studies of aqueous solutions of dodecylammoniumnitrate an association mechanism has been proposed involving multiequilibrium. In the concentration range considered we can differentiate between two aspects: ranges of marked qualitative and quantitative changes and formation of differently structured surfactant species.

Hydration heat capacities of hydrophobic solutes at 248–373 K

A new equation is suggested to define the temperature dependence of the Gibbs energy of hydration of hydrophobic substances: ΔG ⁰ = b ₀ + b ₁ T + b ₂lnT. According to this equation, the hydration heat capacity is in inverse proportion to temperature. Consistent values of hydration heat capacity of nonpolar solutes have been obtained for different temperatures using data on solubility and dissolution enthalpy. The contributions of the hydrocarbon radicals and OH group to the heat capacity of hydration of the compounds were found for the temperature range 248–373 K. The hydration heat capacity of the hydroxyl group has a weak dependence on temperature and increases by only 12 J/(mol·K) in the specified temperature interval. Changes in the hydration entropy of hydrophobic and OH groups are calculated for the temperature increasing from 248 K to 373 K.
