Paradoxes and paradigms: influence of the power of z on the estimation of entropies of formation of aqueous anions using simple parameters

We continue our use of “simple” energetic patterns, where simple means the use of parameters derived only from the stoichiometry of these species in our studies of the entropy of formation (TΔ_f S ^o) of aqueous anions. Relationships between the entropy of formation and different parameters such as the number of oxygen atoms, the natural logarithm of the molecular weight and the total number of atoms are explored. The charge of the species, z− continues to be explicitly considered where we now explore various choices of p and use of z ^p as a parameter.
