Thermodynamic properties of transition metals in aqueous solution: 3. The heats of mixing aqueous solutions of CdCl2, NiCl2 and ZnCl2 with NaCl at varying ionic strength at 25°C

The heat of dilution of aqueous solutions of ZnCl₂ and the heats of mixing H _m of aqueous solutions of CdCl₂, NiCl₂, and ZnCl₂ with NaCl solutions were measured at 25°C. The heats of mixing were made at constant ionic strengths of 0.5, 1.0, and 3.0 molal. The excess enthalpy equations of Pitzer were then fitted to the resulting heats of dilution and heats of mixing data. The resulting parameters are the temperature derivatives of the activity coefficient mixing parameters in the Pitzer system.     

Partial molal enthalpies,excess partial molal heat capacities,and structural effects ofn-Am4NBr in the water-dioxane system

Integral heats of solution of tetra-n-pentylammonium bromide, n-Am₄NBr, in aqueous binary mixtures of dioxane are reported at 25° and 35°C from 0.0 to 0.3 mole fraction of dioxane. The excess partial molal heat capacity c _p ^° at 30°C is derived from the integral heats of solution at infinite dilution at 25° and 35°C. The partial molal enthalpies of n-Am₄NBr exhibit a rather flat maxima at 0.2 mole fraction dioxane. The c _p ^° values suggest a structure-breaking role for dioxane. The results obtained in this study are compared with those obtained with n-Bu₄NBr in the same system in an earlier study.     

Seawater—A test of multicomponent electrolyte solution theories. II. Enthalpy of mixing and dilution of the major sea salts

In a continuing effort to predict the physicochemical properties of seawater from the properties of single aqueous electrolyte solutions, the pairwise heats of mixing at constant molal ionic strength,I=1.0 ional, have been determined for the six possible pairs of salts from the set (NaCl, Na₂SO₄, MgCl₂, MgSO₄) at 30°C. In addition, heats of dilution for two aqueous solutions formed from these salts and havingI=1.0 ional have been determined at 30°C. In order to present the most thermodynamically consistent results, it was found necessary to apply a correction term to the relative apparent equivalent enthalpies given in the literature at 30°C. These correction terms derived from a consideration of published results on heats of dilution at very low concentrations. Further, in order to make predictions for seawater at 25°C, it was deemed desirable to refit existing heat-capacity data. The heats relative apparent equivalent enthalpies for the two mixtures mentioned as well as for seawater. The estimates are based on the theoretical equation of Reilly and Wood for charge-asymmetric mixtures which derives from the work of Friedman. In the most applicable cases, the estimates agree with experimental relative apparent equivalent enthalpies to within 5%. In general, the results substantiate the theoretical equation.Taken in part from the Ph.D. dissertation of W. H. Leung, University of Miami, Miami, Florida 33149.     

Thermodynamic properties of electrolyte solutions: An EMF study of the activity coefficients of KCl in the system KCl−KNO3−H2O at 25, 35 and 45°C

Electromotive force measurements were carried out on the system KCl–KNO₃–H₂O at constant total ionic strengths of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 mol-kg^–1 and at 25, 35 and 45°C using a cell consisting of a potassium ionselective electrode and a Ag/AgCl electrode. The Harned coefficients and the Pitzer binary and ternary interaction parameters for the system have been evaluated at each temperature. The osmotic coefficients, excess free energies of mixing and heats of mixing of the system have been predicted at each of the experimental temperatures and ionic strengths. The solubility data at 25°C are also interpreted.     

Thermodynamic and19F NMR studies of antimony trifluoride in water

Densities, specific heat capacities per unit volume and enthalpies of dilution at 25°C and osmotic coefficients at 37°C were measured for antimony trifluoride in water as functions of concentration. From the first three properties the apparent and partial molar volumes, heat capacities and relative enthalpies were derived. As well, pH measurements in water at 25°C and¹⁹F NMR spectra in water and methanol at 33°C were also carried out. All the thermodynamic properties together with the chemical shifts abruptly change in the very dilute concentration region (<0.1m) and, then, tend to a constant value. These trends have been rationalized through a simple model based on an equilibrium of dissociation of SbF₃ into two ionic species. From the simulation of all the data it is derived that two concomitant equilibria are present in solution: the hydrolysis process of SbF₃ which explains the pH values and the ionic dissociation of SbF₃ which accounts for the¹⁹F NMR data.     

Enthalpy of dissociation of water at 325°C and LogK, ΔH, ΔS,and ΔC p values for the formation of NaOH(aq) from 250 to 325°C

The aqueous reactions H⁺+OH^–=H₂O at 325°C and Na⁺+OH^–= NaOH(aq) at 250–325°C, were studied using a flow calorimeter. Heats of mixing of aqueous NaOH and HCl solutions were measured at 325°C. The enthalpy of water formation (H=95.9 kJ-mol^–1, valid at 12.4 MPa and infinite dilution) was obtained at this temperature from the heat of mixing data but differs significantly from that calculated from the Marshall-Franck equation. This calorimetric H at 325°C was used in combination with literaturelog K and H values at lower temperatures to derive equations representinglog K, H, S, and C_p for the formation of water from 250 to 325°C. Heats of dilution of aqueous NaOH solutions were measured at 250, 275, 300, and 325°C. Log K, H, and S for the formation of NaOH(aq) were determined at these temperatures from the fits of the calculated and measured heats while C_p values were calculated from the variation of H with temperature. No previous experimental results have been reported for the formation of NaOH(aq). The isocoulombic reaction principle is tested using thelog K values obtained in this study. The plot oflog K vs. 1/T for the isocoulombic reaction NaOH(aq) +H⁺=H₂O+Na⁺ is approximately linear.Presented at the Second International Symposium on Chemistry in High Temperature Water, Provo, UT, August 1991.Taken in part from the Ph.D. Dissertation of Xuemin Chen, Brigham Young University, 1991.     

New Physico-chemical Properties of Water Induced by Mechanical Treatments. A calorimetric study at 25°C

An extensive thermodynamic study has been carried out on aqueous solutions, obtained through the iteration of two processes: a dilution 1:100 in mass and a succussion. The iteration is repeated until extreme dilutions are reached (less than 1⋅10^–5 mol kg^–1 ) to the point that we may call the resulting solution an 'extremely diluted solution'. We conducted a calorimetric study, at 25°C, of the interaction of those solutions with acids or bases. Namely, we measured the heats of mixing of acid or basic solutions with bidistilled water and compared them with the analogous heats of mixing obtained using the 'extremely diluted solutions'. Despite the extreme dilution of the latter solutions, we found a relevant exothermic excess heat of mixing, excess with respects to the corresponding heat of mixing with the untreated solvent. Such an excess has been found in about the totality of measurements, and of a magnitude being well beyond one that could arise any issue of sensibility of the instrumental apparatus. Here we thus show that successive dilutions and succussions can permanently alter the physico-chemical properties of the solvent water. The nature of the phenomena here described still remains unexplained, nevertheless some significant experimental results were obtained.

A Microcalorimetric Study of Water Vapor Sorption on Morphine Sulphate

Water vapor sorption on morphine sulphate was studied in a twin double sorption microcalorimeter at 25°C. The vapor sorption isotherm and the differential heats of sorption were determined simultaneously from dry condition to a water activity of 0.99. Two well resolved hydration steps were obtained on the sorption isotherm at water activities of 0.01 and 0.22 corresponding to the formation of dihydrate and pentahydrate of morphine sulphate. They were accompanied by constant values of the differential heats of sorption: –24 kJ mol^–1(H₂O) for the dihydrate formation and –10 kJ mol^–1(H₂O) for the pentahydrate formation.The calorimetrically obtained sorption isotherms were compared with the results of Karl Fisher titrations of morphine sulphate samples equilibrated at different water activities. The appearance of a liquid phase in the morphine sulphate at high water activities is discussed on the basis of the obtained differential heats of sorption and measured heat capacities of morphine sulphate at different water activities.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Heat capacities of concentrated multicomponent aqueous electrolyte solutions at various temperatures

The specific heat capacities of the aqueous multicomponent system NaCl +KCl+MgCl₂+CaCl₂ with ionic strength between 8.3 and 9.6 (resembling Dead Sea waters) were measured between 15°C and 45°C. The obtained data were fitted to an empirical equation as a function of concentration and temperature. The thermodynamic functions of the studied multicomponent system were found to be strongly influenced by changes in MgCl₂ concentrations. The application of Young's rule to such concentrated systems was checked at 25°C. The calculated (by Young's rule) specific heat capacitiesC _p and apparent molar heat capacities C_p, of these multicomponent electrolyte solutions were in reasonable agreement with the measured values (–0.008 J-g^–1-K^–1 and –2.6 J-mol^–1-K^–1, respectively).     

Effect of temperature on ionic volumes and heat capacities in methanol

A flow densimeter and flow heat capacity calorimeter have been employed to measure precision densities and specific heats of selected electrolytes and nonelectrolytes in methanol at 20, 25, and 40°C. Apparent molar volumes and heat capacities have been calculated and the corresponding standard state functions, V ^o and C _p, ^o , evaluated. The data have been used, along with known volumes and heat capacity data at 25°C for numerous alkanes, to generate volumes and heat capacities of model compounds for organic electrolytes. Comparison of the thermodynamic functions for the model compounds with those of the corresponding electrolytes at the respective temperatures has made it possible to assign single ion values and to establish the temperature effects of ionic charges on the volumes and heat capacities of solutes.     

Thermodynamics of bolaform electrolytes. V. Enthalpies and heat capacities in aqueous urea solutions

The partial molal heats of solution at infinite dilution of 1,4-bis(triethylammonium)butane dibromide and 1,10-bis(triethylammonium)decane dibromide in aqueous urea (up to 8m urea) have been determined calorimetrically in the temperature range 18–33°C. These data have been used to derive the partial molal heat capacities at infinite dilution, the enthalpies of transfer, and heat capacities of transfer at infinite dilution from water to urea-water solutions. The results show that the enthalpies of transfer are negative and decrease with increasing urea concentrations. The heat capacities of transfer are negative at low urea concentrations and increase in magnitude at higher urea concentrations. In the case of the smaller cation the partial molal heat capacity in 8m aqueous urea solution is greater than in pure water. The results are discussed in terms of structural changes in the solvents on dissolution.     

The thermodynamics of mixing C6 and C7 compounds with a bicyclic compound at infinite dilution

The activity coefficients at infinite dilution have been measured at 25°C for cyclohexane, cyclohexene, 1,3-cyclohexadiene, 1,4-cyclohexadiene, benzene, n-hexane, 1-hexene, 1-hexyne, n-heptane, 1-heptene and 1-heptyne in decahydronaphthalene, bicyclohexyl, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene and cyclohexylbenzene. These results, together with previously determined H _m ^E and V _m ^E have been used to calculate the partial molar excess thermodynamic properties of mixing at infinite dilution.     

Thermodynamic Properties of Peptide Solutions. Part 17. Partial Molar Volumes and Heat Capacities of the Tripeptides GlyAspGly and GlyGluGly,and Their Salts K[GlyAspGly] and Na[GlyGluGly] in Aqueous Solution at 25 °C

The partial molar volumes, V^o₂, and partial molar heat capacities, C_p,2^o, at infinite dilution have been determined for the two tripeptides glycylaspartylglycine (glyaspgly) and glycylglutamylglycine (glyglugly), and also for their salts K[glyaspgly] and Na[glyglugly], in aqueous solution at 25 °C. The ionization constants at 25 °C for the aspartyl and glutamyl side-chains have also been determined. These new thermodynamic results have been combined with literature data for electrolytes to obtain the volume and heat capacity changes upon ionization of the acidic side-chains of the peptides. The results are compared with those for other carboxylic acid systems. The partial molar heat capacities and volumes have also been used to calculate the contributions of the acidic amino acid side-chains to the thermodynamic properties.     

Thermodynamic properties of N-octyl-, N-decyl- and N-dodecylpyridinium chlorides in water

Densities, heat capacities and enthalpies of dilution at 25°C and osmotic coefficients at 37°C were measured for N-octyl-, N-decyl- and N-dodecyl-pyridinium chlorides in water over a wide concentration region. Conductivity measurements were performed in order to evaluate the cmc and the degree of counterion dissociation. Partial molar volumes, heat capacities, relative enthalpies and nonideal free energies and entropies at 25°C were derived from the experimental data as functions of the surfactant concentration. The changes with concentration of these properties are quite regular with the exception of the heat capacities which display anomalies at about 0.9, 0.25 and 0.12 mol-kg^–1 for the octyl, decyl and dodecyl compounds, respectively. At these concentrations there were also changes in the slopes of the specific conductivity and of the product of the osmotic coefficients and the molality vs. concentration. These peculiarities can be ascribed to micelle structural transitions. The thermodynamic functions of micellization were graphically evaluated on the basis of the pseudo-phase transition model. These data have been compared to those for alkyltrimethylammonium bromides and alkylnicotinamide chlorides. It is shown that the introduction of the hydrophilic CONH₂ group lowers the hydrophilic character of the pyridinium ring.     

Thermodynamics of aqueous gallium chloride. Heats of solution and dilution at 25°C

The heat of solution of GaCl₃ and heats of dilution of single GaCl₃ solutions in water and of mixed GaCl₃−HCl solutions in HCl solutions (with a fixed HCl concentration of 0.1337 mol-kg⁻¹ HCl) up to 4 mol-kg⁻¹ GaCl₃ were measured at 25°C. While in the acid solutions hydrolysis is suppressed to below 0.5% of total gallium concentration, the measurements in water allow evaluation of the effect of hydrolysis on the relative enthalpy. The Pitzer interaction model for excess properties of aqueous electrolytes was used to interpret the change in relative enthalpy with concentration. Pitzer parameters were derived by statistical inference using ridge regression. Their physical significance is supported by the heat of solution data. The measurements yield the following results for standard heats of formation and Pitzer parameters for the relative molar enthalpy at 25°C: With these parameters the overall variance in the partial molar heat of solution at infinite dilution, extrapolated from the present experiments, is minimized to 0.35 kJ²-mol⁻², while the experimental apparent molar heats of dilution are reproduced on average within 2.7 kJ-mol⁻¹.     

Solvation of small hydrophobic molecules in formamide: A calorimetric study

The solubility and enthalpy of solution of benzene, cyclohexane, hexane, and heptane in formanide have been determined from titration microcalorimetric experiments at 25°C. The solution enthalpies are significantly more endothermic than in water but still the solubility is much higher. The entropy changes in formamide are small and positive and do not vary significantly with size. The enthalpies of solution of some 1-alkanols, 1-chloro- and 1,5-dichloropentane and pentane-1,5-diol were measured as functions of concentration. The solution enthalpies for 1-alkanols from methanol to decanol increase linearly with chain length. The enthalpic interaction coefficients h_xx are small and negative in formamide while they are large and positive in water. The partial molar heat capacities C _p,2 ^o for 1-propanol, 1-pentanol, benzene and cyclohexane in formamide were determined at 25°C from drop heat capacity measurements. Values of C _p,2 ^o are only slightly larger than the molar heat capacities of the liquid solutes.     

Measurements of excess enthalpies at high temperature and pressure using a new type of mixing unit

A flow mixing unit (calorimetric cell and auxiliary devices) has been designed for measuring the enthalpy of mixing or reaction of two fluids (gas+liquid or liquid+liquid). The indicator of the heat effect is a differential heat flux calorimeter, SETARAM C-80, allowing measurements at temperatures up to 300°C. The mixing cell is made of a stainless-steel capillary (o.d 1.6 mm, length 2.4m) which is coiled in a cylindrical form and tightly fitted in the thermopile well of the calorimeter. The fluids are delivered from the high pressure piston pumps and circulated through the system at controlled flow rates ranging from 100 to 1500 L-min^–1. The tests were carried out at pressures up to 20 MPa. Special care was taken to allow good thermostatting of fluids entering the mixing cell. Check measurements were made with one liquid-liquid system (C₂H₅OH+H₂O) and one gas-liquid system (CO₂+C₆H₅CH₃); our enthalpies of mixing agreed with the literature values in most cases to 2%. For the system ethanol+water the experiments have been also performed at temperature of 250°C and pressures of 15 and 20 MPa. The endothermal mixing effect was higher than expected indicating an increase in the excess heat capacity.     

Enthalpic Interaction of Amino Acids with Ethanol in Aqueous Solutions at 25°C

The enthalpies of mixing aqueous ethanol solutions and with aqueous amino acid solutions (glycine, L-alanine, L-serine, L-threonine, and L-proline) and their respective enthalpies of dilution have been determined at 25^°C by a flow microcalorimetric system. The experimental data have been analyzed in terms of McMillan-Mayer formalism to obtain the enthalpic virial coefficients for heterotactic interaction. The results have been interpreted from the point of view of solute-solute interactions.     

Volumes and heat capacities of water andN-methylformamide in mixtures of these solvents

The densities of mixtures ofN-methylformamide (NMF) and water (W) have been measured at 5, 15, 25, 35, and 45°C, and the heat capacities of the same system at 25°C, both over the whole mole-fraction range. From the experimental data the apparent molar volumes (_v) and heat capacities (_c) of NMF and of water are evaluated. The relatively small difference between the partial molar volumes or heat capacities at infinite dilution and the corresponding molar volumes or heat capacities of the pure liquids for both NMF and water suggests that with regard to these quantities replacement of a NMF molecule by a water molecule or vice versa produces no drastic changes. The partial molar volume of water at infinite dilution in NMF is smaller than the molar volume of pure water, but the corresponding partial molar heat capacity is unexpectedly high.     

Excess molar volumes of 1-nonanol withn-heptane at 25, 35 and 45°C1

The excess molar volumes V _m ^E at atmospheric pressure and at 25, 35 and 45°C for binary mixtures of 1-nonanol, with n-heptane have been obtained over the whole mole fraction range from densities measured with a vibrating-tube densimeter. The measurements at 25°C were extended to high dilution of 1-nonanol. The V _m ^E are sigmoid for the three temperatures, with a small maximum at low mole fractions of the alkanol. The absolute values of V _m ^E increase with temperature from 25 to 45°C.Communicated in part at the 4^th International Conference on Thermodynamics of Solution of Non-Electrolytes, Santiago de Compostela, Spain (1989).
