Thermodynamics of aqueous L-proline solutions at 273–323 K

Enthalpies of dissolution of L-proline in water were measured calorimetrically at 283–313 K. The experimental temperature of dissolution of proline in water at the studied temperatures was shown to be almost independent of its concentration over the range 0.01–0.11 mol/kg. Standard enthalpies of dissolution and standard heat capacities of dissolution were calculated over this temperature range. The heat capacity of dissolution was ascertained to increase in the row glycine, proline, and alanine. The partial molar heat capacity of proline in water was determined and compared with the values obtained by extrapolation of the apparent heat capacities. The changes in entropy and reduced enthalpy and the Gibbs energy over the temperature range from 273 to 323 K were determined using familiar thermodynamic relations. The data for glycine and alanine were compared.     

Volume properties and structure of aqueous solutions of urea at 263–348 K

The apparent molar volume of urea ? in aqueous solution in the range T = 273–323 K and m = 1–10 (molality) depends linearly on m ^1/2. An equation for ?(m, T) was derived. The partial molar characteristics of urea ? ₂ and water ? ₁ (volume, dilatability, and temperature coefficients of volumes) were calculated. The ?(T) dependences have characteristic points (extrema, inflection points), shifted to the region of lower temperatures for dilute solutions. The ? ₁(T) dependences for 2m and 4m of the urea solution retain the characteristics of the Y ₁(T) of pure water. In these solutions, the proper structure of water is preserved.     

The thermal properties of water-n,n-dimethylformamide solutions at 278–323.15 K and 0.1–100 MPa

The isothermal compressibility coefficients κ _T , volumetric thermal expansion coefficients α, and pressure coefficients (?p/?T) _v were calculated for water-N,N-dimethylformamide (DMFA) mixtures of 12 compositions over the temperature and pressure ranges 278–323.15 K and 0.1–100 MPa. The composition dependences of κ _T passed minima, and the corresponding α and (?p/?T) _v dependences passed maxima. The structural features of water and hydrophobic hydration effects were found to play a determining role in changes in the thermodynamic properties of water-DMFA solutions.

Enthalpies of the dissolution and dilution of aqueous solutions of rubidium and cesium diclofenac (RbDC and CsDC) are measured at 293.15, 298.15, 308.15, and 318.15 K at concentrations of water of less than 0.1 mol/kg. The heat capacity of RbDC and CsDC crystal salts is determined. Changes in the thermodynamic properties of both a solution and its components vs. concentration and temperature is considered. An increase in the endothermicity of the dissolution of RbDC and CsDC with a rise in temperature is noted. It is shown that the dissolution of both RbDC and CsDC electrolytes in water is determined by the contribution from entropy. It is shown that in aqueous solutions of RbDC and CsDC, the degree of binding of water molecules is higher than in pure water at temperatures below 303.15 K.

Apparent molar volumes and apparent molar heat capacities of aqueous solutions ofα- andβ-cyclodextrins 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 α - and β -cyclodextrins at temperatures from 278.15 K to 393.15 K and at the pressure 0.35 MPa. The molalities investigated ranged from 0.008 mol · kg ^− 1to 0.12 mol · kg ^− 1forα -cyclodextrin and from 0.004 mol · kg ^− 1to 0.014 mol · kg ^− 1for β -cyclodextrin. We used a vibrating-tube densimeter (DMA 512P, Anton PAAR, Austria) to determine the densities and volumetric properties.

Heterogeneous interaction between zwitterions of amino acids and glycerol in aqueous solutions at 298.15 K

The enthalpies of mixing of six kinds of amino acid (glycine, L-alanine, L-valine, L-serine, L-threonine, and L-proline) with glycerol in aqueous solutions and the enthalpies of diluting of amino acid and glycerol aqueous solutions have been determined by flow microcalorimetry at 298.15 K. Employing McMillan–Mayer theory, the enthalpies of mixing and diluting have been used to calculate heterogeneous enthalpic pairwise interaction coefficients (h _xy ) between amino acids and glycerol in aqueous solutions. Combining h _xy values of amino acids with glycol in the previous study, the variations of the h _xy values between amino acids and glycerol have been interpreted from the point of view of solute–solute interactions.

Electrosynthesis and biological properties of persulfate–chloride solutions

A method for electrochemical synthesis of medical solutions for oxidation of toxic substances in the human organism has been developed. The method is based on electrooxidation of sodium sulfate in the presence of chloride and NaOH microadditions (in amounts that provide рН 13) in a filter-press membrane electrolyzer. A diagram is presented for choosing the optimum ratio between the current density and the flow rate of electrolyte during the electrosynthesis of a medical solution. The use of an electrolyte of the suggested composition under the optimum electrosynthesis conditions leads to solutions with physiological рН values (7.2–7.4) and high oxidative ability with respect to Micrococcus sp. and Staphylococcus coag (–), but there was no injuring effect on blood cells.

Electrochemical behavior of NbV–EDTA and NbV–citrate systems in aqueous solutions

The electrochemical reduction of Nb^V using oxalatoniobic acid and ammonium oxooxalatoniobate salts was studied in aqueous solutions of citric acid and sodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA), in a wide range of supporting electrolyte concentrations and pH. In EDTA two reduction processes were observed: Nb^V to Nb^IV, E = −1.000 V vs. Ag/AgCl at pH 4.50 and Nb^IV to Nb^IIIE = −1.400 V vs. Ag/AgCl (pH 4.50). In citric acid there was only one reduction process: (Nb^V to Nb^IV), E = −1.260 V vs. Ag/AgCl at pH 4.50. In both electrolytes a linear relationship was found between the diffusion current and the niobium concentration in the 1.0 × 10⁻⁵ to 5.0 × 10⁻³ M range. Using cyclic voltammetry, it waa observed that the charge transfer process in the Nb^V to Nb^IV process is reversible in EDTA and reversible–quasireversible in citric acid.     

Anomalous codeposition of cobalt and ruthenium from chloride–sulfate baths

Codeposition of Ru and Co was studied at room temperature and at 50 °C with various Ru³⁺ and Co²⁺ concentrations in the electrolyte. The codeposition of Co and Ru proved to be anomalous since no pure Ru could be obtained in the presence of Co²⁺ in the electrolyte, but a significant Co incorporation into the deposit was detected at potentials where the deposition of pure Co was not possible. The composition of the deposits varied monotonously with the change of the concentration ratio of Co²⁺ and Ru³⁺. The deposition of Ru was much hindered, and the current efficiency was a few percent only when the molar fraction of Co in the deposit was low. Continuous deposits could be obtained only when the molar fraction of Co in the deposit was at least 40 at.%. The deposit morphology was related to the molar fraction of Co in the deposit. The X-ray diffractograms are in conformity with a hexagonal close-packed alloy and indicate the formation of nanocrystalline deposits. Two-pulse plating did not lead to a multilayer but to a Co-rich alloy. Magnetoresistance of the samples decreased with increasing Ru content.

The composition dependences of the density of the mixture passed a maximum at x ～ 0.6 at all temperatures (x is the mole fraction of dimethylsulfoxide). The composition dependences of the partial molar volumes of water and DMSO also passed extrema.
