Partial molal volumes of ions in organic solvents from ultrasonic vibration potential and density measurements. III. Dimethylsulfoxide

The partial molal volumes of Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺, Cs⁺, Cl^–, Br^–, I^–, and NO ₃ ^- in DMSO at 25°C have been determined from ultrasonic vibration potential data and density data for solutions of uni-univalent electrolytes. Hepler's semiemprirical equation has been used to split ionic partial molal volumes into geometric and electrostrictive contributions. The results obtained in this work confirm the conclusion of our previous studies, namely, that the contribution of electrostriction is essentially determined by the properties of that layer of atoms, 0.3 to 0.4 nm thick, in contact with the ion and by the degree of steric hindrance of the poles of the dipole of the solvent molecule. On the other hand, the geometric contribution depends on the size of the solvent molecule and also on the arrangement of the solvent molecules about the ions. It is shown that the geometric contribution to the partial molal volume of ions is largely increased when ions cannot come close enough to the poles of the solvent-molecule dipole, owing to steric hindrance.     

Dependence of the density of solutions of alkali metal halides on the composition of methylpyrrolidone-water mixed solvents

The densities of solutions of alkali metal halides in methylpyrrolidone (MP)-water mixtures were measured at 298.15 K over the entire range of mixed solvent compositions. The standard partial molar volumes of the electrolytes \(\overline {V_2^ \circ } \) were calculated. The \(\overline {V_2^ \circ } \) values of alkali metal halides in MP-H₂O mixtures were related linearly to the \(\overline {V_2^ \circ } \) values in aqueous solutions. These dependences were used to determine the standard partial molar volumes of ions \(\overline {V_i^ \circ } \) in the mixtures studied. The standard partial molar volumes of transfer of the ions from water into MP-water mixtures were calculated.     

Group additivity for partial molal heat capacities and volumes of alkanes in methanol at 25°C

A flow heat capacity calorimeter and a flow vibrating tube densimeter have been used to measure the apparent molal heat capacities and volumes of 14 linear and branched alkanes in methanol at 25°C. These quantities have been extrapolated to infinite dilution to obtain the standard partial molal heat capacities and volumes. The C _p2 ^o and V ₂ ^o data can be expressed by equations having the general form: Y=A_Y+ N_k Y_k+(steric factors), where A_Y is solute independent and the Y_k terms are the individual group contributions. A rationale for use of the above equation is presented.     

Thermodynamics of bolaform electrolytes. IV. Enthalpies and partial molal heat capacities in H2O,D2O,and dimethylsulfoxide

The partial molal heats of solution ΔH _s ^o and the partial molal heat capacities of solution ΔC _p ^o of the bolaform salts [Et₃N(CH₂)_nNEt₃]Br₂ and [allyl₃N(CH₂)_nNallyl₃]Br₂ have been obtained at infinite dilution in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). A comparison of these data with the results of previous thermodynamic studies of the same solutes in aqueous solvents has been carried out. The observed differences have been interpreted in terms of solute-induced solvent structural effects occurring in aqueous solvent media. Partial molal heat capacities of the bolaform salts at infinite dilution in DMSO, H₂O, and D₂O have been calculated from ΔC _p ^o data and previously reported values of the heat capacities of the crystalline state. The data clearly show that the structure-promoting capabilities of these salts in aqueous solvents increase with increasing hydrocarbon content. A comparison of contributions to partial molal heat capacities of methylene groups in the bolaform and R₄N⁺ series of salts reveals that similarities exist between the solvation effects of CH₂ groups in the normal alkyl chain of the R₄N⁺ cations and in the bridging alkyl chain of the bolaform cation.     

Thermodynamic properties of alkali halides. II. Enthalpies of dilution and heat capacities in water at 25°C

The enthalpies of dilution and volumetric specific heats of most alkali halides were measured in water at 25°C with flow microcalorimeters in the concentration range 0.01 to 1m. Apparent molal relative enthalpies _L, derived from the enthalpies of dilution, can be represented by a parametric equation in molality. Combining _L with osmotic data, excess entropies can be calculated. Excess free energies, enthalpies, and entropies are compared at 0.5m, and the observed trends are consistent with a model of structural interactions in aqueous alkali halide solutions. The apparent molal heat capacities _C were fitted with the equation _C= _C ^° +A_C(d₀m)^1/2+B _C m. The _C ^° are, in general, additive to better than 1 J-K^–1-mole^–1 and reflect mostly the structural part of ion-solvent interactions. Taking _C ^° (H⁺)=0, conventional ionic _C ^° are obtained. The parameterB _C for different pairs of ions follows approximately the same trends as the corresponding parameterB _V for apparent molal volumes and seems to reflect structural interactions between the ions.     

The effect of pressure on the ionization of water at various temperatures from molal-volume data1

The apparent molal volumes of dilute (0.002 to 1.0m) aqueous HCl and NaOH solutions have been determined at 0, 25, and 50°C and NaCl solutions at 50°C. The partial molal volumes ( ) of HCl, NaOH, and NaCl solutions have been determined from these apparent molal volumes and other reliable data from the literature. The partial-molal-volume changes ( ) for the ionization of water, H₂OH⁺+OH^–, have been determined from 0 to 50°C and 0 to 1m ionic strength from the partial molal volumes of HCl, NaOH, NaCl, and H₂O. The partial molal compressibilities ( for HCl, NaOH, NaCl, and H₂O have been estimated from data in the literature and used to determine the partial molal compressibility changes ( ) for the ionization of water from 0 to 50°C and 0 to 1m ionic strength. The effect of pressure on the ionization constant of water has been estimated from partial-molal-volume and compressibility changes using the relation from 0 to 50°C and 0 to 2000 bars. The results agree very well with the directly measured values.Contribution Number 1548 from the University of Miami.     

Aqueous solutions of azoniaspiroalkane halides. VI. Apparent molal volumes and apparent molal heat capacities of chlorides and iodides

Densities and heat capacities of aqueous solutions of azoniaspiroalkane halides, (CH₂) _n N⁺ (CH₂) _n X^– (where X=Cl, I andn=5,6), have been measured at 25°C using a flow densimeter and a flow microcalorimeter. The limiting apparent molal volumes (ø _v ) and apparent molal heat capacities (ø _cp ) obtained from these data are compared with those of the azoniaspiroalkane bromides and the corresponding tetraalkylammonium halides. The concentration dependence of ø _v and ø_cp are examined for clues on the influence of solute hydration, structure, and conformational flexibility on the excess functions of quaternary ammonium halides.     

The PVT properties of concentrated aqueous electrolytes IX. The volume properties of KCl and K2SO4 and their mixtures with NaCl and Na2SO4 as a function of temperature

The densities of KCl and K₂SO₄ were measured from dilute solutions to saturation from 5 to 95°C. The data were combined with literature data to produce density and apparent molal volume, V_φ, equations from 0 to 100°C and to saturation. The standard deviations of the density equations were 30×10⁻⁶ g-cm⁻³ and 32×10⁻⁶ g-cm⁻³, respectively, for KCl and K₂SO₄. Pitzer equations were used to fit the V_φ data. The resulting infinite dilute partial molal volumes, V^o, were in reasonable agreement with literature data. The densities of the mixtures of the six combinations of the salts KCL, K₂SO₄ NaCl and Na₂SO₄ were measured at I=2.0 and t=5, 25, 55 and 95°C. The resulting volumes of mixing were fitted to equations of the form

Cation-crown ether complex formation in water. II. Alkali and alkaline earth cations and 12-crown-4, 15-crown-5, and 18-crown-6

The stability constants and the partial molal volume and isentropic partial molal compressibility changes of complex formation between cations and crown ethers in water at 25°C are presented. The cations involved are Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺, Cs⁺, Ca²⁺, and Ba²⁺, and the crown ethers are 12-crown-4, 15-crown-5, and 18-crown-6. Values of V of complex formation have been discussed in terms of two simple models, one based on the scaled particle theory, and the others on the Drude-Nernst continuum model. The results indicate that the charge of the potassium cation in 18-crown-6 is especially well screened from the water. On this basis hydration numbers of complexed cations have been calculated. This shows that the size of the cation compared to the crown ether hole is important for the contacts between complexed cations and water.     

Activity coefficient of hydrochloric acid in aqueous solutions of sodium chloride

Electromotive-force measurements of the cell $$Pt;H_2 \left( {g,1{\text{ }}atm} \right)|HCl\left( {{\text{m}}_A } \right),NaCl\left( {{\text{m}}_B } \right)|AgCl;Ag$$ have been made at temperatures between 5 and 45°C at values ofm _A+m _B of 0.1, 0.3809, 0.6729, and 0.8720 mole-kg^?1. The activity coefficients of HCl in HCl/NaCl mixtures and the Harned coefficients α₁₂ have been obtained. The change of α₁₂ with total molality is consistent with the existence of binary interactions between H⁺ and Na⁺ ions. The linear variation of the relative partial molal heat content with the fraction of NaCl in the mixture suggests that an analog of the Harned rule exists for this thermodynamic quantity.     

Bestimmung von Alkali- und Erdalkaliionen in Regenwasserproben mit der Ionen-Chromatographie

Summary Alkali and alkaline earth ions in rain water can be determined by ion chromatography (IC) without preconcentration. The detection limits for alkali ions are between about 0.05 and 0.15 mol/l and those for alkaline earth ions between about 0.2 and 0.6 mol/l. The main advantages of IC are: very small sample volumes are sufficient; the simultaneous determination of the alkali ions or the alkaline earth ions requires less than 30 min; NH ₄ ⁺ ions can also be determined. The results are compared with those obtained by flame AAS and AES-ICP.     

Partial molal volumes of ions in organic solvents. IV. Ethylene glycol

Apparent molal volumes have been measured for several electrolytes in ethylene glycol (EG) and the standard state partial molal volumes, V₂°, evaluated. Ultrasonic vibration potentials (uvp) have also been measured for most of the alkali metal halides in EG, and these employed to evaluate ionic partial molal volumes, V° (ion). The results show unambiguously that the uvp is essentially independent of solvent viscosity. The V₂° data have also been divided into ionic components by four other techniques including, the method of Mukerjee, the use of Ph₄AsBPh₄, the correspondence method and an extrapolation of V₂° for a series of tetraalkylammonium bromides as a funtion of cation molecular weight. With the exception of the latter technique, all methods used give 30±2 cm³-mol^–1 for V° (ion), although the uvp leads to the largest value for V° (ion). The divisions have been analyzed also with the aid of Hepler's equation, and the results suggest that the uvp method gives a more accurate division and that the EG dipole is more hindered than the dipole in ethanol.     

Ultrasonic vibration potentials,apparent molal volumes,and apparent molal heat capacities of 1:1 electrolytes in acetonitrile

The ultrasonic vibration potentials and apparent molal volumes for many inorganic and organic electrolytes were measured in acetonitrile at 25°C and combined to obtain ionic contributions to the standard partial molal volumes V°(ion). Monatomic cations and anions of the same size essentially have the same V°(ion). Their size dependence can be interpreted through Hepler's equation. The apparent molal heat capacities were also measured in acetonitrile and used to derive standard values. Various methods of estimating C _p ⁰ (ion) were investigated and an ionic scale is proposed. It is concluded that C _p ⁰ (ion) of large organic ions are very close to the intrinsic heat capacities of the ions, and the solvation contribution to monatomic ions is positive for both cations and anions.     

A study of metal chelation of dinucleotide analogs in the gas phase by fast-atom bombardment mass spectrometry

Fast-atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectrometry was used to investigate the interaction of proton and alkali metal ions with dinucleotide analogs such as T-n-T (T = thymine moiety, n = polyether chain, e.g., triethylene, tetraethylene, pentaethylene, and hexaethylene ether 1–4), A-n-T (A = adenine unit 5–8), and T-n-OMe (9–12) in 3-nitrobenzyl alcohol matrix. The [M + H]⁺ ion is the most abundant ion for the A-n-T series, whereas in 1–4 and 9–12 the (TC₂H₄)⁺ ion is the most abundant. Formation of [M + H -C₂H₄O]⁺ ions, a characteristic fragmentation of crown ethers under electron ionization, is observed for compounds 1–12 and is more pronounced in 6 and 7. An abundant [M ? H]^? ion is observed for all the compounds studied under negative ion FAB due to the presence of the (-CO-NH-CO-) group of thymine, an indication of existence of intramolecular H bonding. The FAB mass spectra of 1–12 with alkali metal ions (Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺, and Cs⁺) showed formation of abundant metal-coordinated ions ([M + Met]⁺ and [TC₂H₄ + Met]⁺). Compounds 3, 4, 6, 7, and 10–12 showed ions due to the substitution of the thymine moiety by a hydroxyl group ([M + Met ? 108]⁺, Met = metal ion). For compound 3 alone, substitution of two thymine groups ([M + Met - 216]⁺) was observed. Metastable ion studies were used to elucidate the structures of these potentially significant ions, and the ion formule were confirmed with high resolution measurements. Selectivity toward metal complexation with ligand size was seen in the T-n-T and A-n-T series and was even more pronounced in A-n-T series. These dinucleotide analogs fall in the following order of chelation of alkali metal ions, acyclic glymes < dinucleotide analogs (acyclic glymes substituted with nitrogen bases) < crown ethers, which places them in perspective as receptor models.     

Structural interaction leading to volumetric changes in aqueous solutions of nitrates of rubidium,cesium, strontium,yttrium, and gallium at different temperatures

Densities of the aqueous dilute solutions of rubidium, cesium, strontium, yttrium, and gallium nitrate were measured at different temperatures ranging from (293.15–343.15) K and atmospheric pressure. From these density values, the apparent molal volumes were calculated and fitted to Masson’s correlation and the temperature dependence was correlated by a second order polynomial. The apparent molal volumes at infinite dilution and experimental slopes have been interpreted in terms of ion–solvent and ion–ion interactions, respectively. The measurements include density as per ASTM D-4052, refractive index (nD²⁵) at sodium D line at 25 °C. Thermal isobaric expansibility was calculated and structure making and structure breaking behaviour of electrolytes were inferred from the sign of the second derivative of apparent molal volumes with respect to temperature at constant pressure. The experimental apparent molal volume was compared with the available literature value.     

Vibronic transitions in the collision of Na with N2

Quenching, by collision, of an alkali atom A with a diatomic molecule X₂ is considered, on the assumption that the reaction occurs via formation of the intermediate complex A ⁺X ₂ ^– . The Landau-Zener approximation is used to calculate the partial rate constants of Na(²P)+N₂(v=0) Na(²S)+N₂(v>0) corresponding to transitions to different vibrational states in the diatomic molecule.I am indebted to A. I. Voronin, E. I. Dinaburg, E. E. Nikitin, and M. Ya. Ovchinnikova for assistance in this work and for valuable discussions.     

Adsorption of Nitrogen, Oxygen and Argon on Na-CeX Zeolites

Commercial type X zeolites (Linde 13X) are nitrogen selective. Oxygen is the less abundant component in air; hence oxygen selective sorbents are desired for air separation. Mixed Na-Ce type X zeolites containing different ratios of Ce³⁺/Na⁺ ions are prepared by partial ion exchange of commercial X zeolite. The adsorption isotherms of nitrogen, oxygen and argon are measured and the pure-component selectivity ratios are compared and analyzed against commercial zeolites (13X) for air separation. Oxygen selectivity over nitrogen (1.5) and argon (4.0) are seen for mixed Na-Ce type X zeolite (Si/Al = 1.25; Ce³⁺/Na⁺ < 4.0) from Henry's constant determined from low pressure adsorption measurements. The oxygen and nitrogen isotherms cross over for mixed Na-Ce type X zeolite (Si/Al = 1.25; Ce³⁺/Na⁺ < 4.0), and the pressure at which cross they over increases as Ce³⁺/Na⁺ approaches 1. The oxygen selectivity as claimed in the patent by N.V. Choudary, R.V. Jasra, and S.G.T. Bhat (US Patent no. 6,087,289, 2000) is seen only at very low pressures in the volumetric adsorption measurement and the hydrogen treatment of the Ce-exchanged samples have no effect on the adsorption characteristics.     

Acid–Base Zeta-Metric Titration of Quartz Dispersions in Ethanol Solutions of Electrolytes

The conductivity of dilute quartz suspensions and electrophoretic mobility of quartz particles in solutions with the concentration C = 10^–5–10^–2 M XBr (X = H, Cs, Na, and Li) and NaOH, as well as in mixed solutions of 10^–4 M XBr (X = Cs, Na, and Li) + 10^–4–10^–2 M HBr and 10^–4 M XBr + 10^–4–10^–2 M XOH (X = Cs, Na, and Li) in ethanol containing 6 vol % of water were measured using conductometry and microelectrophoresis. The values of surface conductivity of quartz were calculated by the Wagner formula and used to calculate zeta potential by the Henry–Booth formula. The resultant dependences (logC) suggest that the value and sign of zeta potential are determined not only by the adsorption of potential-determining ions ⁺ and ^–, but also by the competitive specific adsorption of all ions of the aforementioned electrolytes, the adsorption values increasing in a cation series Li⁺ < Na⁺ < Cs⁺ < H⁺ and an anion series Br^– < OH^–. In particular, it is found that the titration of the above suspensions with XOH bases results in the reversal of zeta potential sign from negative to positive at a concentration depending on the adsorption capacity of alkali cation.     

Electrostriction around colloid molecules and interfacial action of inhalation anesthetic: Volume function

Poly( -lysine) exists as a polyelectrolyte in an aqueous solution with charged -NH₃⁺ of the side-chain terminals at pH values below 10.5, while it loses the charges above this pH. Due to the electrostatic repulsion, the conformation of the charged form is random coil while that of the uncharged form is helix. The densities of each form were measured by an oscillation densimeter at several poly( -lysine · HBr) concentrations and the apparent molal volumes were estimated. By extrapolating the apparent molal volumes to infinite dilution, the partial molal volumes of each form at infinite dilution were obtained. When expressed by the partial molal volume per residue at infinite dilution, the values were 125.3 cm³ residue⁻¹ for the uncharged form and 112.8 cm³ residue⁻¹ for the charged form at 298.15°K. From the temperature dependence of the partial molal volume, the partial molal expansibilities were found to be 0.070 cm³ residue⁻¹ deg⁻¹ for the uncharged form and 0.106 cm³ residue⁻¹ deg⁻¹ for the charged form. The smaller partial molal expansibility of the uncharged form compared to the charged form is in agreement with the general pattern that hydrophobic macromolecules show smaller expansibility than hydrophilic macromolecules. An inhalation anesthetic, methoxyflurane, did not alter the volume of the uncharged form and expanded only the charged form. At the anesthetic concentration of 1.7 × 10⁻³ m, the partial molal volume of the charged poly( -lysine · HBr) was expanded by 0.27%. The partial molal volume of methoxyflurane in aqueous solution was 108.5 cm³ mole⁻¹ at 278.15°K while that of the pure liquid state was 113.1 cm³ mole⁻¹. The decrease of the partial molal volume of methoxyflurane in aqueous solution is attributable to the structuring of water molecules around the anesthetic. The partial molal volume of the anesthetic in the 1.0 × 10⁻⁴ m charged poly( -lysine · HBr) solution was 110.9 cm³ mole⁻¹. This increase of the partial molal volume of methoxyflurane in the peptide solution indicates that the anesthetic-water contact is partially destroyed by the binding.     

Solvation of ions. Part XXIX. Ionic conductances in acetonitrile-water and pyridine-water mixtures

The limiting conductance of various salts of Na⁺, Ag⁺, Cu⁺, Cu²⁺ and Ph₄As⁺ in acetonitrile-water (AN-H₂O) and pyridine-water (Py–H₂O) mixtures are reported. Single ion values are calculated for AN-H₂O mixtures using the TATB assumption [_o(Ph ₄ As ⁺) = _o(Ph ₄ B ^–)]. The trends observed for the limiting Walden products (_o) of the electrolytes and individual ions are discussed in terms of specific ion-solvent interactions and the structural effects of the solvent mixtures.Deceased, August 30, 1982.
