Apparent Molar Volume and Apparent Molar Refraction of Mono-, Di-, Tri-, and Tetra(oxyethylene) Glycol in Aqueous, 1,4-Dioxane,and Benzene Solutions at 298.15 K

Summary. The density and refractive index of aqueous, 1,4-dioxane, and benzene solutions of poly (oxyethylene) glycols of the type HO–(CH₂CH₂O) _n –H (n varying from 1 to 4) were measured at 298.15K. From these experimental data the apparent molar volume and the apparent molar refraction at infinite dilution were calculated. The limiting apparent molar volume of the investigated compounds in a definite solvent depends linearly on the number of oxyethylene groups. From these data, the volume of the monomeric unit was evaluated and found to be greater in non-aqueous solvents than in water. The limiting apparent molar refraction of the solute for the investigated systems, within the experimental uncertainties, is equal to the molar refraction of the pure solute. The electronic polarizability of the solute molecule depends linearly on the number of monomeric units and the ratio of the electronic polarizability to the molecular van der Waals volume is constant and independent of the number of oxyethylene groups.Received February 24, 2003; accepted (revised) April 10, 2003 Published online August 18, 2003

Excess Molar Volumes, Excess Molar Enthalpies, and Excess Isentropic Compressibilities of Binary Mixtures Containing N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone and Isomeric Xylenes at 308.15?K

Excess molar volumes, excess molar enthalpies and speeds of sound of 1-methyl pyrrolidin-2-one?+?o- or m- or p-xylene binary mixtures have been measured over the entire composition range at 308.15?K. The speed of sound data were used to determine the excess isentropic compressibilities. It is observed that while the values of the excess molar enthalpies for the investigated mixtures are positive, the values of the excess molar volumes and excess isentropic compressibilities are negative over the entire composition range. The measured thermodynamic data have been analyzed in terms of Graph, Prigogine?CFlory?CPatterson, and the Sanchez and Lacombe theories. It is observed that Graph theory correctly predicts the signs and magnitudes of the excess molar volumes, excess molar enthalpies, and excess isentropic compressibilities of the studied mixtures. However, the excess molar volumes, excess molar enthalpies and excess isentropic compressibilities predicted by Prigogine?CFlory?CPatterson and Sanchez and Lacombe theories are of same sign.     

Studies on Lattice Parameter,Molar Volume and Excess Molar Volume of Pb-based a-phase Solid Solution in Pb-Sn-Cd Ternary System

The lattice parameters a and the molar volumes Km of Pb-based a-phase solid solutions in the Pb-Sn-Cd ternary system were determined by means of X-ray diffraction. The lattice parameters a vary linearly with the molar fractions, the molar volumes show a positive deviation from the ideal solution behaviour, and the contribution of the solute Cd to the excess molar volumes V is much larger than that of the solute Sn. According to Vegard' s law orsub-regular solution model, the relationship between the experimental data of a or Vm andthe compositions of alloy is obtained by the mathematic regressive method, the prediction precisions of the both formulae are within the limits of experiment error.     

Partial Molar Volume,Ionization, Viscosity and Structure of Glycine Betaine in Aqueous Solutions

Densities, partial molar volumes, and viscosities of aqueous solutions of betaine have been measured at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 37, and 45 °C over the concentration range 0.05 to 5.0 mol⋅L⁻¹. The partial molar volumes show that betaine exists partly as a monohydrate and partly in its anhydrous form. The proportion of the anhydrous form increases with increasing temperature. Also, an associated form of betaine appears in concentrated betaine solutions, possibly with water as a bridging group. The significance of the viscosity B-coefficient is discussed. The signs of B _st, the increment of the viscosity B-coefficients arising from structural changes of water, are negative and the signs of dB/dT, the temperature derivative of B, are positive. These results show that betaine is a water structure breaker especially at lower temperatures, and this effect decreases to insignificance at higher temperatures. The ionization equilibria of betaine were investigated in aqueous 0.5 mol⋅L⁻¹ and 1.0 mol⋅L⁻¹ NaNO₃ at 5, 15, 25, and 37 °C by a potentiometric method. Using the least-square computer program SUPERQUAD, the complex forms are deduced to be betanium BH, bis(betanium) BHB, and bis(betaine) B₂ or bis(betaine)hydrate BH₂OB.     

Molecular Interactions in 1-Ethyl-3-Methylimidazolim Tetrafluoroborate + Amide Mixtures: Excess Molar Volumes, Excess Isentropic Compressibilities and Excess Molar Enthalpies

The densities, ρ ₁₂, and speeds of sound, u ₁₂, of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (1) + N-methylformamide or N,N-dimethylformamide (2) binary mixtures at (293.15. 298.15. 303.15, 308.15 K), and excess molar enthalpies, $ H_{12}^{\text{E}} $ H 12 E , of the same mixtures at 298.15 K have been measured over the entire mole fraction range using a density and sound analyzer (Anton Paar DSA-5000) and a 2-drop microcalorimeter, respectively. Excess molar volume, $ V_{12}^{\text{E}} $ V 12 E , and excess isentropic compressibility, $ \left( {\kappa_{S}^{\text{E}} } \right)_{12} $ ( κ S E ) 12 , values have been calculated by utilizing the measured density and speed of sound data. The observed data have been analyzed in terms of: (i) Graph theory and (ii) the Prigogine–Flory–Patterson theory. Analysis of the $ V_{12}^{\text{E}} $ V 12 E data in terms of Graph theory suggest that: (i) in pure 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, the tetrafluoroborate anion is positioned over the imidazoliun ring and there are interactions between the hydrogen atom of (C–H{edge}) and proton of the –CH₃ group (imidazolium ring) with fluorine atoms of tetrafluoroborate anion, and (ii) (1 + 2) mixtures are characterized by ion–dipole interactions to form a 1:1 molecular complex. Further, the $ V_{12}^{\text{E}} $ V 12 E , $ H_{12}^{\text{E}} $ H 12 E and $ \left( {\kappa_{S}^{\text{E}} } \right)_{12} $ ( κ S E ) 12 values determined from Graph theory compare well with their measured experimental data.     

Complex Formation Between Alkane-α,ω-Diols and Cyclodextrins Studied by Partial Molar Volume and Compressibility Measurements

The binding of a series of alkane-,-diols, HO(CH₂)_nOH, n = 4 to 7, to - and -cyclodextrin (CD) has been studied by measurements of partial molar volumes (PMVs) and isentropic partial molar compressibilities (PMCs) at 25°C. From the PMV and PMC data, changes in the partial molar quantities upon going from a free state in aqueous solution to a complexed state were evaluated for the diols. Negative changes in PMV and PMC were observed for complex formation with -CD, while positive values were obtained for the -CD complexes. Equilibrium constants for the different complexes, assuming the formation of 1:1 complexes, were evaluated from the PMV and/or PMC data, and were found to increase with increasing chain length of the included diol for both - and -CD complexes. The equilibrium constant for complex formation is generally higher for the -CD than for the -CD complexes.     

Correlating Molar Mass, π-Conjugation,and Optical Properties of Narrowly Distributed Anionic Polythiophenes in Aqueous Solutions

Polythiophene-based conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPE) are attracting increasing attention as sensor or interface materials in chemistry and biology. While cationic polythiophenes are better understood, limited structural information is available on their anionic counterparts. Limited access to well-defined polymers has made the study of structure-property relationships difficult and clear correlations have remained elusive. By combining controlled Kumada catalyst transfer polymerization with a polymer-analog substitution, regioregular and narrowly distributed poly(6-(thiophen-3-yl)hexane-1-sulfonate)s (PTHS) with tailored chain length are prepared. Analysis of their aqueous solution structures by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) revealed a cylindrical conformation for all polymers tested, with a length close to the contour length of the polymer chains, while the estimated radii remain too small (<1.5 nm) for extensive π-stacking of the chains. The latter is particularly interesting as the longest polymer exhibits a concentration-independent structured absorption typical of crystalline polythiophenes. Increasing the ionic strength of the solution diminishes these features as the Coulomb repulsion between the charged repeat units is shielded, allowing the polymer to adopt a more coiled conformation. The extended π-conjugation, therefore, appears to be a key parameter for these unique optical features, which are not present in the corresponding cationic polythiophenes.     

Partial Molar Volumes of Glycine and dl-Alanine in Aqueous Ammonium Sulfate Solutions at 278.15, 288.15, 298.15 and 308.15 K

In this work, the partial molar volumes of glycine and dl-alanine in aqueous solutions of ammonium sulfate at 0.0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.7, and 1.0 mol·kg^?1 are determined between 278.15 and 308.15 K. Transfer volumes were obtained, which are larger for glycine than dl-alanine. On the contrary, the hydration numbers are higher for dl-alanine than glycine, and dehydration of the amino acids is observed with increasing temperature or salt molality. The data suggest that interactions between ion and charged/hydrophilic groups are predominant and, by applying the methodology proposed by Friedman and Krishnan, it was concluded that they are mainly pairwise. A group-contribution scheme has been successfully applied to the pairwise volumetric interaction coefficient. Finally, the dehydration effect on glycine, alanine and serine in the presence of different electrolytes has been rationalized in terms of the charge density and a parameter accounting for the cation’s hydration.     

Excess Molar Volumes and Partial Molar Volumes of Dipropylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether + n-Alkanol Mixtures at 25°C

The excess molar volumes V^E for binary liquid mixtures containing dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether and methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, and 1-heptanol have been measured using a continuous dilution dilatometer over the whole mole fraction range at 25°C at atmospheric pressure. V^E are negative over the whole composition range except for the systems containing 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, or 1-heptanol which are positve at every composition. V^E increases in a positive direction with increase in chain length of the n-alcohol. The results have been used to estimate the excess partial molar volumes V_i^E of the components. The change of V^E and V_i^E with composition and the number of carbon atoms in the alcohol molecule are discussed as a basis to understand some of the molecular interactions present in the mixtures:     

Limiting Partial Molar Volumes of Water in 1-Hexanol, 1-Octanol, 1-Decanol,and Cyclohexanol at 298.15 K

Summary. From the density of solutions of water in 1-hexanol, 1-octanol, 1-decanol, and cyclohexanol, measured at 298.15K, the limiting partial molar volume and the excess limiting partial molar volume of water was estimated. The limiting partial molar volume of water in alcohols was discussed in terms of the void space created by the addition of water to alcohol and by the packing density of water. On the basis of the Kirkwood-Buff theory and the activity of water in alcohols an average aggregation number of water molecules, as well as the number of the excess alcohol molecules in the surroundings of the water molecule was calculated. The solvation ability of the investigated alcohols was estimated as the difference in the solvation Gibbs energy of an alcohol molecule in solution relative to the pure alcohol. The observed difference was mainly ascribed to an indirect effect caused by water molecules on the alcohol structure and to a lesser extent to the hydrogen bonding of water to alcohol molecules. The limiting partial molar volume of water was also interpreted in terms of scaled particle theory and the various volume contributions arising from dispersion, dipole–dipole, and inductive interactions between water and an alcohol molecule were calculated.     

Partial Molar Volumes of Uracil,Thymine, Adenine in Water and of Adenine in Aqueous Solutions of Uracil and Thymine

The partial molar volumes of uracil, thymine and adenine in water and adenine in aqueous solutions of uracil and thymine, at fixed composition, were determined over a range of temperatures. The partial molar volumes of adenine in aqueous uracil and thymine are less than in pure water.     

Excess Molar Volumes and Excess Partial Molar Volumes of Triethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether–n-Alcohol Mixtures at 25°C

We have measured excess molar volumes V^E _m of binary mixtures of triethylene glycol monoethyl ether with methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-pentanol, and 1-hexanol over the full range of compositions at 25°C. The measurements were carried out with a continuous-dilution dilatometer. The excess molar volumes V^E _m are negative over the entire range of composition for the systems triethylene glycol monoethyl ether + methanol, + ethanol, and + 1-propanol and positive for the remaining systems, triethylene glycol monoethyl ether + 1-pentanol, and + 1-hexanol. The excess V^E _m increases in the positive direction with increasing chain length of the n-alcohol. The measured excess volumes have been compared to our previous published data with an effort to assess the effects of replacing methyl by ethyl groups and of inserting oxyethylene groups. The results have been used to estimate the excess partial molar volumes V^E _m,i of the components. The behavior of V^E _m and V^E _m,i with composition and the number of carbon atoms in the alcohol molecule is discussed.     

Excess Molar Volumes and Viscosities of Binary Mixtures of Methanol and the Ionic Liquid 4-Methyl-N-butylpyridinium Tetrafluoroborate at 25, 40, and 50°C

Excess molar volumes V ^E and excess logarithm viscosities (ln )^E have been determined. V ^E is negative and (ln )^E positive over the entire mixture composition.     

Excess Molar Volumes and Excess Partial Molar Volumes of Triethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether–n-Alcohol Mixtures at 25°C

The excess molar volumes V ^E have been measured for binary mixtures of triethylene glycol monomethyl ether with methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-pentanol, and 1-hexanol as a function of composition using a continuous–dilution dilatometer at 25°C at atmosphere pressure. V ^E are negative over the entire range of composition for the systems triethylene glycol monomethyl ether + methanol, + ethanol, and + 1-propanol, and positive for the remaining systems, containing 1-pentanol and + 1-hexanol. V ^E increases in a positive direction with increasing carbon chain length of the n-alcohol. The excess partial molar volumes V _i ^E of the components were evaluated from the V ^E results. The behavior of V ^E and V _i ^E with composition and the number of carbon atoms in the alcohol molecule is discussed.     

Linear High Molar Mass Polyglycidol and its Direct α-Azido Functionalization

Summary: Linear polyglycidols with narrow chain dispersity and controlled high molar masses were prepared in a few hours by monomer-activated anionic polymerization of protected monomers, ethoxyethyl glycidyl ether and tert-butyl glycidyl ether, using a system composed of tetraoctylammonium bromide as initiator and triisobutylaluminum, used in 1.5 to 5-fold excess compared to the initiator, as co-initiator and monomer activator. This synthetic approach was shown to give various polyglycidol-based copolyethers in particular with propylene oxide or butene oxide. α-Azido,ω-hydroxy-poly(ethoxyethyl glycidyl ether) and other polyethers were directly prepared when tetrabutylammonium azide was used as initiator. Size exclusion chromatography and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight characterizations as well as “click” reactions were used to demonstrate the efficiency of the functionalization.     

Excess Chemical Potentials, Excess Partial Molar Enthalpies, Entropies, Volumes, and Isobaric Thermal Expansivities of Aqueous Glycerol at 25°C

The vapor pressures p the excess partial molar enthalpies of glycerol H _Gly ^E the densities d and the thermal expansivities _p of aqueous glycerol were measured at 25°C. From the vapor pressure data, the excess chemical potential of H₂O µ _W ^E was calculated, assuming that the partial pressure of glycerol p _Gly is negligibly small. The excess chemical potential of glycerol µ _Gly ^E was estimated by applying the Gibbs–Duhem relation and these data were used to calculate the excess partial molar entropies S _Gly ^E . From the density data, the excess partial molar volumes of glycerol V _Gly ^E and from the thermal expansivity data, the normalized cross fluctuations ^SV, introduced by us earlier, were evaluated. While the detailed manner in which glycerol modifies the molecular arrangement of H₂O in its immediate vicinity is yet to be elucidated, the hydrogen bond probability in the bulk H₂O away from solute molecules is reduced gradually as the glycerol composition increases to the point where putative presence of icelike patches is no longer possible. Thereupon, a qualitatively different mixing scheme seems to set in.     

Limiting Partial Molar Volumes of Water in 1-Hexanol, 1-Octanol, 1-Decanol, and Cyclohexanol at 298.15?K

From the density of solutions of water in 1-hexanol, 1-octanol, 1-decanol, and cyclohexanol, measured at 298.15K, the limiting partial molar volume and the excess limiting partial molar volume of water was estimated. The limiting partial molar volume of water in alcohols was discussed in terms of the void space created by the addition of water to alcohol and by the packing density of water. On the basis of the Kirkwood-Buff theory and the activity of water in alcohols an average aggregation number of water molecules, as well as the number of the excess alcohol molecules in the surroundings of the water molecule was calculated. The solvation ability of the investigated alcohols was estimated as the difference in the solvation Gibbs energy of an alcohol molecule in solution relative to the pure alcohol. The observed difference was mainly ascribed to an indirect effect caused by water molecules on the alcohol structure and to a lesser extent to the hydrogen bonding of water to alcohol molecules. The limiting partial molar volume of water was also interpreted in terms of scaled particle theory and the various volume contributions arising from dispersion, dipole–dipole, and inductive interactions between water and an alcohol molecule were calculated.     

Apparent Molar Volumes and Viscosities of Dl-α-Alanine in Water-Ethanol Mixtures

Abstract

In this work we present a systematic study of the apparent molar volumes and the viscosities of DL-α-alanine in aqueous ethanol solutions at 25,00°C. The molar fractions of ethanol for the solvent mixtures were selected taking into account that thermodynamic properties such as partial molar volumes and heat capacities of these mixtures show a transition concentration around X _et = 0,1 at which its behavior suffers a deep change. Besides, this ethanol concentration is near to that required to produce 50% of protein denaturation.

The results were used to evaluate the limiting partial molar volume V0 of the solute the volume changes associated with its transfer from water to aqueous ethanol solutions and the viscosity B coefficients of DL-α-alanine. The values obtained for the transference molar volumes and the viscosity B coefficients of alanine in the aqueous mixtures show a minimum at X _et = 0,1000. The results are discussed in terms of changes in the solvent structure (Ref. [1])     

Densities,Excess Molar Volumes,and Thermal Expansion Coefficients of Aqueous Aminoethylethanolamine Solutions at Temperatures from 283.15 to 343.15 K

The densities of aqueous mixtures of aminoethylethanolamine (CAS #000111-41-1) were measured over the entire compositional range at temperatures of 283.15–343.15 K. The results of these measurements were used to calculate excess molar volumes and isobaric thermal expansion coefficients, and partial molar and apparent molar volumes and excess isobaric thermal expansion coefficients were subsequently derived. The excess molar volumes were correlated as a function of the mole fraction using the Redlich–Kister equation. Temperature dependences of the Redlich–Kister coefficients are also presented. The partial molar volumes at infinite dilution of AEEA in water were determined using two different methods. In addition, the solution density was correlated using a Joubian–Acree model. Aqueous solutions of AEEA exhibit similar properties to the aqueous solutions of other alkanolamines (like monoethanolamine) used in acid gas sweetening.
