Apparent molar volumes V_φ and apparent molar heat capacities C_p,φ were determined for aqueous solutions of l-proline, l-proline with equimolal HCl, and l-proline with equimolal NaOH at the pressure p=0.35 MPa. Density measurements obtained with a vibrating-tube densimeter at temperatures (278.15⩽T/K⩽368.15) were used to calculate V_φ values, and heat capacity measurements obtained with a twin fixed-cell, differential-output, power-compensation, temperature-scanning calorimeter at temperatures (278.15⩽T/K⩽393.15) were used to calculate C_p,φ values. Speciation arising from equilibrium was accounted for using Young’s Rule, and semi-empirical equations describing (V_φ, m, T) and (C_p,φ, m, T) for each aqueous equilibrium species were fitted by regression to the experimental results. From these equations, the volume change Δ_rV_m and heat capacity change Δ_rC_p,m for the protonation and deprotonation reactions were calculated. Additionally, the Δ_rC_p,m expression was integrated symbolically to yield values of the reaction enthalpy change Δ_rH_m, reaction entropy change Δ_rS_m, and equilibrium molality reaction quotient Q for both reactions. The results provide a much-improved thermodynamic characterization of aqueous l-proline and of its protonation and deprotonation equilibria.

We have measured the densities at temperatures T = (278.15 to 363.15) K and heat capacities at T = (278.15 to 393.15) K of aqueous solutions of 18-crown-6 and of (18-crown-6 + KCl) at molalities m = (0.02 to 0.3) mol · kg⁻¹ and at the pressure 0.35 MPa. We have calculated apparent molar volumes V_? and apparent molar heat capacities C_p,? for 18-crown-6(aq), and we have applied Young’s Rule and have accounted for chemical speciation and relaxation effects to resolve V_? and C_p,? for the (18-crown-6: K⁺,Cl⁻)(aq) complex in the mixture. We have also calculated estimates of the change in volume Δ_rV_m, the change in heat capacity Δ_rC_p,m, the change in enthalpy Δ_rH_m, and the equilibrium quotient log Q for formation of the complex at T = (278.15 to 393.15) K and m = (0 to 0.3) mol · kg⁻¹.     

Apparent molar volumes and apparent molar heat capacities of aqueous solutions ofN,N- dimethylformamide andN,N- dimethylacetamide at temperatures from 278.15 to 393.15 K and at the pressure 0.35 MPa

Apparent molar heat capacities C_{p, φ}and apparent molar volumesV_φ were determined for aqueous solutions of N, N - dimethylformamide andN , N - dimethylacetamide at temperatures from 278.15 to 393.15 K and at the pressure 0.35 MPa. The molalities investigated ranged from 0.015 mol ·kg ^− 1to 1.0 mol · kg ^− 1.

Heat capacities were obtained using a twin fixed-cell, power-compensation, differential-output, temperature-scanning calorimeter (NanoDSC 6100, Calorimetry Sciences Corporation, Spanish Fork, UT, U.S.A.). The results were fit by regression to equations that describe the surfaces (V_φ,T , m) and (C_{p, φ}, T, m). Infinite dilution partial molar volumes V₂^oand heat capacitiesC_p,2^o were obtained over the range of temperatures by extrapolation of these surfaces to m =  0.

Structure and molecular interactions in {ethanol + (propan-1-ol/propan-2-ol)} mixtures at 303.15 K

In view of industrial importance of binary {ethyl alcohol + (propan-1-ol/propan-2-ol)} mixtures, the densities (ρ) and refractive indices (n _D ) of these alkanols mixtures were measured for different compositions at 303.15 K. Molar volumes (V _m) and excess molar volumes (V ^E) of these binary mixtures were calculated from experimental density data of pure solvents and solvents mixtures. The measured refractive index and density data was used to calculate specific refractions (R _D ), molar refractions (R _M) and apparent molar refractions (R _{φ, i} ) of binary mixtures. From mole fraction dependence of apparent molar refractions, the limiting apparent molar refractions (R _{φ, i} ^○ ) of propan-1-ol and propan-2-ol have been determined. The graphical values of R _{φ, i} ^○ for propan-1-ol and propan-2-ol were found to be 9.5664 and 7.405 cm³ mol^?1 respectively. Structural changes, geometrical fittings and molecular interactions in binary mixtures of these alkanols have been discussed.     

Interactions of some amino acids and glycine peptides with aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfate and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide at T=298.15 K: a volumetric approach

The apparent molar volumes V_φ of glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, and lysine have been determined in aqueous solutions of 0.05, 0.5, 1.0 mol · kg⁻¹ sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and 1.0 mol · kg⁻¹ cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) by density measurements at T=298.15 K. The apparent molar volumes have also been determined for diglycine and triglycine in 1 mol · kg⁻¹ SDS and CTAB solutions. These data have been used to calculate the infinite dilution apparent molar volumes V₂⁰ for the amino acids and peptides in aqueous SDS and CTAB and the standard partial molar volumes of transfer (Δ_trV_2,m⁰) of the amino acids and peptides to these aqueous surfactant solutions. The linear correlation of V₂⁰ for a homologous series of amino acids has been utilized to calculate the contribution of the charged end groups (NH₃⁺, COO⁻), CH₂ group and other alkyl chains of the amino acids to V₂⁰. The results on the partial molar volumes of transfer from water to aqueous SDS and CTAB have been interpreted in terms of ion–ion, ion–polar and hydrophobic–hydrophobic group interactions. The volume of transfer data suggests that ion–ion or ion–hydrophilic group interactions of the amino acids and peptides are stronger with SDS compared to those with CTAB. Comparison of the hydration numbers of amino acids calculated in the present studies with those in other solvents from literature shows that these numbers are almost the same at 1 mol · kg⁻¹ level of the cosolvent/cosolute. Increasing molality of the cosolvent/cosolute beyond 1 mol · kg⁻¹ lowers the hydration number of the amino acids due to increased interactions with the solvent and reduced electrostriction.     

Apparent molar heat capacities and apparent molar volumes of Pr(ClO4)3(aq), Gd(ClO4)3(aq), Ho(ClO4)3(aq), and Tm(ClO4)3(aq) at T=(288.15, 298.15, 313.15, and 328.15) K and p=0.1 MPa

Acidified aqueous solutions of Pr(ClO₄)₃(aq), Gd(ClO₄)₃(aq), Ho(ClO₄)₃(aq), and Tm(ClO₄)₃(aq) were prepared from the corresponding oxides by dissolution in dilute perchloric acid. Once characterized with respect to trivalent metal cation and acid content, the relative densities of the solutions were measured at T=(288.15, 298.15, 313.15, and 328.15) K and p=0.1 MPa using a Sodev O2D vibrating tube densimeter. The relative massic heat capacities of the aqueous systems were also determined, under the same temperature and pressure conditions, using a Picker Flow Microcalorimeter. All measurements were made on solutions containing rare earth salt in the concentration range 0.01 ⩽ m/(mol · kg⁻¹) ⩽ 0.2. Relative densities and relative massic heat capacities were used to calculate the apparent molar volumes and apparent molar heat capacities of the acidified salt solutions from which the apparent molar properties of the aqueous salt solutions were extracted by the application of Young's Rule. The concentration dependences of the isothermal apparent molar volumes and heat capacities of each aqueous salt solution were modelled using Pitzer ion-interaction equations. These models produced estimates of apparent molar volumes and apparent molar heat capacities at infinite dilution for each set of isothermal V_φ,2 and C_pφ,2 values. In addition, the temperature and concentration dependences of the apparent molar volumes and apparent molar heat capacities of the aqueous rare earth perchlorate salt solutions were modelled using modified Pitzer ion-interaction equations. The latter equations utilized the Helgeson, Kirkham, and Flowers equations of state to model the temperature dependences (at p=0.1 MPa) of apparent molar volumes and apparent molar heat capacities at infinite dilution. The results of the latter models were compared to those previously published in the literature.Apparent molar volumes and apparent heat capacities at infinite dilution for the trivalent metal cations Pr³⁺(aq), Gd³⁺(aq), Ho³⁺(aq), and Tm³⁺(aq) were calculated using the conventions V₂^∘(H⁺(aq)) ≡ 0 and C_p2^∘(H⁺(aq)) ≡ 0 and have been compared to other values reported in the literature.     

Apparent molar volumes and apparent molar heat capacities of aqueous potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) and potassium sodium phthalate (KNaP) at temperatures fromT = 278.15 K toT = 393.15 K at the pressure 0.35 MPa

A vibrating-tube densimeter (DMA 512P, Anton Paar, Austria) was used to investigate the densities and volumetric properties of aqueous potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) and potassium sodium phthalate (KNaP). Measurements were made at molalities m from (0.006 to 0.66)mol · kg ^− 1, at temperatures from 278.15 K to 368.15 K and at the pressure 0.35 MPa. The densimeter was calibrated through measurements on pure water and on 1.0 mol · kg ^− 1NaCl(aq). We also used a twin fixed-cell, power-compensation, differential-output, temperature-scanning calorimeter (NanoDSC 6100, Calorimetry Sciences Corporation, Spanish Fork, UT, U.S.A.) to measure solution heat capacities. This was accomplished by scanning temperature and comparing the heat capacities of the unknown solutions to the heat capacity of water. Apparent molar volumes V_φand apparent molar heat capacities C_{p, φ}of the solutions were calculated and fit by regression to equations that describe the surfaces (V_φ, T, m) and (C_{p, φ}, T, m). Standard state partial molar volumesV₂^o and heat capacities C_p,2^owere estimated by extrapolation to the m =  0 plane of the fitted surfaces. Previously determinedC_{p, φ} for HCl(aq) and NaCl(aq) were used to obtain (Δ_rC_{p, m}, T, m) for the proton dissociation reaction of aqueous hydrogen phthalate. This (Δ_rC_p,m, T, m) surface was created by subtracting C_p,φfor KHP(aq) and for NaCl(aq) from the sum of C_p,φfor KNaP(aq) and for HCl(aq). Surfaces representing (Δ_rH_m, T, m) and (pQ_a, T, m), where pQ_adenotes the molality equilibrium quotient, were created by integration of our (Δ_rC_p,m, T, m) surface using values for (Δ_rH_m, m) and (pK_a, m) at T =  308.15 K from the literature as integration constants.     

Thermodynamics for ionization of water at temperatures from 278.15 K to 393.15 K and at the pressure 0.35 MPa: apparent molar volumes of aqueous KCl,KOH, and NaOH and apparent molar heat capacities of aqueous HCl,KCl, KOH,and NaOH

Apparent molar volumes V_φof aqueous KCl, KOH, and NaOH and apparent molar heat capacities C_{p, φ}of aqueous HCl, KCl, KOH, and NaOH have been determined at the pressure p =  0.35 MPa, and at molalities 0.015 ⩽m / mol · kg ^− 1⩽ 0.5. Densities were measured using a vibrating-tube densimeter (DMA 512, Anton Paar, Austria) at temperatures 278.15 ⩽T / K⩽ 368.15. These values were used to calculate the apparent molar volumes. A fixed-cell, differential-output, power-compensating, temperature-scanning calorimeter (NanoDSC model 6100, Calorimetry Sciences Corporation, Spanish Fork, UT, U.S.A.) was used to measure the heat capacities of the same solutions at temperatures 278.15 ⩽T / K⩽ 393.15. Results were fitted by using equations that describe the surfaces (m, T, V_φ) and (m, T, C_{p, φ}). Using these equations, we have calculated the surfaces (m, T, Δ_rV_m), (m, T, Δ_rC_{p, m}), (m, T, Δ_rH_m), (m,T , p Q_a), and (m, T,Δ_rS_m ) for the ionization of water in the presence of combinations of the above electrolytes. The last three surfaces were calculated by integration using our (m,T , Δ_rC_{p, m}) surface and literature values for the molality dependence of Δ_rH_mand pQ_a at T =  298.15 K.     

Partial molar heat capacities and volumes of transfer of some saccharides from water to aqueous sodium chloride solutions at T=298.15 K

Partial molar heat capacities (C^o_p,2,m) and volumes (V^o_2,m) of seven monosaccharides, namely, d(−)-ribose, d(−)-arabinose, d(+)-xylose, d(+)-glucose, d(+)-mannose, d(+)-galactose, and d(−)-fructose; five disaccharides, namely, sucrose, d(+)-cellobiose, d(+)-maltose monohydrate, d(+)-lactose monohydrate, d(+)-trehalose dihydrate, and one trisaccharide, d(+)-raffinose pentahydrate, have been determined in NaCl(aq), m = (1.0, 2.0, and 3.0) mol·kg⁻¹ at T=298.15 K from volumic heat capacity and density measurements employing a Picker flow microcalorimeter and a vibrating-tube densimeter, respectively. These data were combined with the earlier reported C^o_p,2,m and V^o_2,m values in water to calculate the corresponding partial molar properties of transfer (Δ_trC^o_p,2,m and Δ_trV^o_2,m) from water to aqueous sodium chloride solutions at infinite dilution. These transfer parameters are positive, and the values increase with the concentration of sodium chloride for all the saccharides. Transfer parameters have been discussed in terms of solute-cosolute interactions on the basis of a cosphere overlap model. Pair and higher-order interaction coefficients have also been calculated from transfer parameters.     

[Zr0.72Y0.28]Al4C4: A new member of the homologous series (MC)l(T4C3)m (M=Zr, Y and Hf, T=Al, Si and Ge)

A new layered carbide, [Zr_0.72(3)Y_0.28(3)]Al₄C₄, has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The atom ratios [Zr:Y] were determined by EDX, and the initial structure model was derived by the direct methods, and further refined by Rietveld method. The crystal is trigonal (space group , Z=1) with lattice dimensions of a=0.333990(5) nm, c=1.09942(1) nm and V=0.106209(2) nm³. This compound shows an intergrowth structure with [Zr_0.72Y_0.28C₂] thin slabs separated by Al₄C₃-type [Al₄C₄] layers. It is a new member with l=1 and m=1 of the homologous series, the general formula of which is (MC)_l(T₄C₃)_m (l=1, 2 and 3, m=1 and 2, M=Zr, Y and Hf, T=Al, Si and Ge).     

Effect of tetra-n-alkylammonium bromides on the volumetric properties of glycine,l-alanine and glycylglycine at T=298.15 K

The effect of tetra-n-alkylammonium bromides, R₄NBr (R=CH₃, C₂H₅, C₄H₉) on the densities, ρ, of glycine, l-alanine and glycylglycine are reported at T=298.15 K. The apparent molar volumes of amino acids in aqueous tetra-n-alkylammonium salts, φ_VAJW, and of tetra-n-alkylammonium bromides in aqueous amino acids and peptide, φ_VJAW, are calculated from the measured densities. Both φ_VAJW and φ_VJAW have been analysed accurately using a simple equation. Positive transfer volumes are observed for glycine, l-alanine and glycylglycine in the presence of R₄NBr. Tetra-n-butylammonium bromide shows almost double increase in the transfer volumes of amino acids or peptide than tetramethyl- or tetraethylammonium bromides. Negative transfer volumes for the tetra-n-alkylammonium bromide salts are noted in aqueous amino acids or peptide due to large tetra-n-alkylammonium cation undergoing hydrophobic hydration.     

Volumetric study of (2-methoxyethanol + tetrahydrofuran + cyclohexane) at T=298.15 K

The excess molar volumes V_m^E at T=298.15 have been determined in the whole composition domain for (2-methoxyethanol + tetrahydrofuran + cyclohexane) and for the parent binary mixtures. Data on V_m^E are also reported for (2-ethoxyethanol + cyclohexane). All binaries showed positive V_m^E values, small for (methoxyethanol + tetrahydrofuran) and large for the other ones. The ternary V_m^E surface is always positive and exhibits a smooth trend with a maximum corresponding to the binary (2-methoxyethanol + cyclohexane). The capabilities of various models of either predicting or reproducing the ternary data have been compared. The behaviour of V_m^E and of the excess apparent molar volume of the components is discussed in both binary and ternary mixtures. The results suggest that hydrogen bonding decreases with alcohol dilution and increases with the tetrahydrofuran content in the ternary solutions.     

Apparent molar volumes and apparent molar heat capacities of aqueous solutions of isomeric butanols at temperatures from 278.15 K to 393.15 K and at the pressure 0.35 MPa

Apparent molar heat capacities C_{p, φ}and apparent molar volumesV_φ were determined for aqueous solutions of 1-butanol, 2-butanol (both R andS isomers), isobutanol (2-methyl-1-propanol), and t -butanol (2-methyl-2-propanol) at temperatures from 278.15 K to 393.15 K and at the pressure 0.35 MPa. The molalities investigated ranged from 0.02 mol · kg ^− 1to 0.5 mol · kg ^− 1. We used a vibrating-tube densimeter (DMA 512P, Anton Paar, Austria) to determine the densities and volumetric properties. Heat capacities were obtained using a twin fixed-cell, power-compensation, differential-output, temperature-scanning calorimeter (NanoDSC 6100, Calorimetry Sciences Corporation, Provo, UT, U.S.A.). The results were fit by regression to equations that describe the surfaces (V_φ, T, m) and (C_p,φ, T, m). Infinite dilution partial molar volumesV₂^o and heat capacities C_p,2^owere obtained over the range of temperatures by extrapolation of these surfaces to m =  0.     

Critical micelle concentration and self-aggregation of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide in aqueous glycine and glycylglycine solutions at different temperatures

Conductivities, densities and ultrasonic speeds measurements of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTAB) in aqueous solutions of glycine (Gly) and glycylglycine (Gly-Gly) have been made at various temperatures. The critical micelle concentration (CMC), the degree of ionization (??) of the micelles, standard free energy, enthalpy, and entropy of the micellization process (??G _m ^° , ??H _m ^° , and ??S _m ^° ) for the present systems were estimated at different temperatures. The CMC values of HTAB in aqueous Gly and Gly-Gly were also evaluated by density and ultrasonic speed measurements. Apparent molar volumes, (V _?), apparent molar volumes at infinite dilution, (V _? ^° ), apparent molar compressibilities, (K _?), of HTAB in the pre- and post-micellar regions, and volume change on micellization (??V _? ^m ) were also estimated. Large positive values of T??S _m ^° and small negative values of ??H _m ^° suggest that micellization process is driven primarily by entropy increase. The increase in ??V _? ^m and K _? with rise in temperature is indicative of less compact micellar structure of HTAB in presence of amino acid additives. These data suggest that amino acids are solubilised probably in the palisade layer of the micelle.
