Apparent molar and partial molar volumes of aqueous ceric ammonium nitrate solutions at 20, 25, 30, and 35°C

Present paper reports the measured densities (ρ) and refractive indices (n _D) of aqueous solutions of ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) at 20, 25, 30, and 35°C in different concentrations of solution. Apparent molar volumes (φ_v) have been calculated from the density data at different temperatures and fitted to Massons relation to get limiting partial molar volumes (? _v ⁰ ) of CAN. Refractive index data were fitted to linear dependence over concentration of solutions and values of constant K and n _D ⁰ for different temperatures were evaluated. Specific refractions (R _D) of solutions were calculated from the refractive index and density data. Concentration and temperature effects on experimental and derived properties have been discussed in terms of structural interactions.     

Apparent molar volumes and compressibilities of electrolytes and ions in γ-butyrolactone

The densities of tetraphenylphosphonium bromide, sodium tetraphenylborate, lithium perchlorate, sodium perchlorate and lithium bromide in γ-butyrolactone at (288.15, 293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15) K and speed of sound at 298.15 K have been measured. From these data apparent molar volumes V_Φ at (288.15, 293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15) K and the apparent molar isentropic compressibility K_S,Φ, at T = 298.15 K of the salts have been determined. The apparent molar volumes and the apparent molar isentropic compressibilities were fitted to the Redlich, Rosenfeld and Mayer equation as well as to the Pitzer and Masson equations yielding infinite dilution data. The obtained limiting values have been used to estimate the ionic data of the standard partial molar volume and the standard partial isentropic compressibility in γ-butyrolactone solutions.     

Corrosion inhibition of steel in molar HCl by triphenyltin2–thiophene carboxylate

The effect of triphenyltin2–thiophene carboxylate (TTC) on the corrosion of steel in hydrochloric acid medium was studied using gravimetric, electrochemical polarisation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. The percentage inhibition efficiency was found to increase with increasing concentration of inhibitor to reach 97% at 10^?3 M. Polarisation study shows that TTC is an efficient inhibitor and acts as a mixed-type inhibitor. EIS results indicate the increase of resistance transfer (R_T) and the decrease of double layer capacitance (C_dl) with TTC concentration. Triphenyltin2–thiophene carboxylate molecules lead to the formation of a protective layer on the surface of steel. The inhibitor is adsorbed on the steel surface according to Langmuir isotherm.     

Standard molar formation enthalpies of flower-like NH4CdPO4·H2O

Flower-like ammonium cadmium phosphate monohydrate was synthesized by solid-state reaction at low temperature and characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, and elemental analysis. The product NH₄CdPO₄·H₂O was obtained with flower-like morphology by the addition of fatty alcohol-polyoxyethylene ether surface-active agent. Based on Hess??s law, thermochemical cycle was designed to determine the dissolution enthalpies of reactants and products using a solution-reaction isoperibol calorimeter at 298.15?K, and the molar reaction enthalpy was calculated on the basis of above dissolution enthalpies. With the aid of other auxiliary thermodynamic data, the standard molar formation enthalpy of the title compounds was concluded: $ \Updelta_{\text{f}} H_{\text{m}}^{-\!\!\!\!\circ} [{\text{NH}}_{4} {\text{CdPO}}_{4} \cdot {\text{H}}_{2} {\text{O}}] = ( - 1749.82 \pm 0.76)\; {\text{kJ}}\; {\text{mol}}^{ - 1} . $      

A principle to correlate extreme values of excess thermodynamic functions with partial molar quantities

Excess thermodynamic properties are widely used quantitatively for fluids. It was found that at constant temperature and pressure a molar excess quantity of a mutually miscible binary mixture at the extreme points equals the excess partial molar quantities of the two components, i.e.F_(1)~E = F_(2)~E = F_(m)~E , forming a triple cross point. The relationship is hold for properties such as en-thalpy, entropy, Gibbs free energy, and volume, and is applicable for excess functions with multi extreme points. Solutions at extreme points can be referred to as special mixtures. Particularly fora special mixture of Gibbs free energy, activity coefficients of the two components are identical.     

Influence of temperature on excess molar volumes for butyl acetate + aromatic hydrocarbons

Excess molar volumes dependence with temperature for the mixtures butyl acetate?+?aromatic hydrocarbons (toluene, ethylbenzene, p-xylene, mesitylene, isopropylbenzene, butylbenzene, isobutylbenzene, and t-butylbenzene) were determined from density measurements by a vibrating-tube densimeter. The excess molar volumes are positive or slightly negative in the studied mixtures over the whole composition range, attending to the solvent molecular weight, only the isobutylbenzene showing a sigmoid trend. Steric hindrance in these mixtures was analyzed in the light of partial excess molar volumes behavior. The experimental data were used to test semiempirical procedures of density prediction, and compute the binary interaction parameters of the Soave–Redlich–Kwong (SRK) and Peng–Robinson (PR) equations of state, which are of general interest in multicomponent thermodynamic functions estimation. The obtained results point out the interest of the equations of state to study complex mixtures and as a tool for predicting other magnitudes of general application for theoretical studies or processes calculations.     

Viscous synergy and antagonism,excess molar volume,isoentropic compressibility and excess molar refraction of ternary mixtures containing tetrahydrofuran,methanol and six membered cyclic compounds at 298.15 K

The densities (ρ), viscosities (η), sound speeds (u) and refractive indices (n _D) of seven ternary mixtures of cyclic ether (tetrahydrofuran), methanoland cyclic compounds; benzene, toluene, chlorobenzene, nitrobenzene, anisole, cyclohexane and cyclohexanone are determined over the entire range of composition at 298.15?K. From the experimental observations, viscosity deviation (Δη), the viscous synergy and antagonism, synergic and antagonic index are derived by the equations developed by Kalentunc-Gencer and Peleg [G. Kalentunc-Gencer and M. Peleg, J. Texture Stud. 17, 61 (1986)] and Howell [N.K. Howell, Presented at the Proceedings of the Seventh International Conference, Wales, 1993], respectively. Excess molar volume (V ^E), excess isoentropic compressibility (ΔK _S) and excess molar refraction (ΔR) have been calculated from the experimentally measured density, sound speed and refractive index values. The excess Gibb's free energy of activation (ΔG ^E) has also been calculated. The results are discussed and interpreted in terms of molecular package and specific interaction predominated by hydrogen bonding.     

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

Pharmacokinetic study of an oral piroxicam formulation containing different molar ratios of β-cyclodextrins

The objective of this work was to compare the pharmacokinetic parameters of piroxicam-β-cyclodextrin (PIX-CD) complex at molar ratio of 1:1, 1:2.5, 1:3, and 1:4 after an oral administration in rabbits and either to prove or not the Haborn et al. theory which states that the peak plasma concentration (C_max) of piroxicam increases with an increase of β-cyclodextrin concentration. The results showed an increase in C_max from 11 ± 1.7, 13.3 ± 6.17 to 17 ± 2.03 μg/ml for piroxicam alone, 1:1 (PIX-CD) and 1:2.5 (PIX-CD), respectively, and declined starting at molar ratio of 1:3 (PIX-CD). However, more rapid drug absorption was observed where the time of peak plasma concentration (T_max) became shorter and changed from 2 h (Piroxicam alone) to 0.5 h in the presence of cyclodextrin.     

Relative molar responses of some compounds containing oxygen and nitrogen in GC–MS

Relative molar responses (RMRs) of some straight-chain aliphatic alkanes, ketones, aldehydes, alcohols, carboxylic acids, primary amines, aniline, and nitrobenzene derivatives were investigated related to naphthalene. Most of the respective compounds have not been investigated yet due to their high polarity or high boiling point. The earlier cross section data for oxygenated compounds were changed to RMRs which are more utilizable from an analytical aspect. A linear correlation was found between the RMRs and the carbon atom numbers in primary amines. In the cases of aniline and nitrobenzene derivatives the RMRs were also determined; however, no functional relationship was found. The measurement conditions, i.e., the type of column affect the apparent RMRs of aliphatic primary amines. A midpolar column having a higher maximum operating temperature provides a more sensitive apparent RMR (Rtx-1701) than the basic polar column having a lower maximum temperature (Stabilwax-DB), because a high temperature allows setting a higher injector temperature and a higher amount of compound can reach the ion source. Knowing correlations the quantitative analysis passes into easier and fewer reference materials are needed to investigate a sample having many components, because the sensitivities can be determined from the correlations studied in this paper. This is also valid for aromatic compounds, even though no functional relationship exists.     

Apparent molar volumes and apparent molar heat capacities of aqueous d-lactose · H2O at temperatures from (278.15 to 393.15) K and at the pressure 0.35 MPa

Apparent molar volumes V_φ and apparent molar heat capacities C_p,φ were determined for aqueous solutions of d-lactose · H₂O at molalities (0.01 to 0.34) mol · kg⁻¹ at temperatures (278.15 to 393.15) K, and at the pressure 0.35 MPa. Our V_φ values were calculated from densities obtained using a vibrating tube densimeter, and our C_p,φ values were obtained using a twin fixed-cell, power-compensation, differential-output, temperature-scanning calorimeter. Our results for d-lactose(aq) and for d-lactcose · H₂O were fitted to functions of m and T and compared with the literature results for aqueous d-glucose and d-galactose solutions. Infinite dilution partial molar volumes V₂^∘ and heat capacities C_p,2^∘ are given over the range of temperatures.     

Energetic studies of urea derivatives: Standard molar enthalpy of formation of 3,4,4′-trichlorocarbanilide

Thermochemical and thermophysical studies have been carried out for crystalline 3,4,4′-trichlorocarbanilide. The standard (p° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpy of formation, at T = 298.15 K, for the crystalline 3,4,4′-trichlorocarbanilide (TCC) was experimentally determined using rotating-bomb combustion calorimetry, as ?(234.6 ± 8.3) kJ · mol^?1. The standard enthalpy of sublimation, at the reference temperature of 298.15 K, was measured by the vacuum drop microcalorimetric technique, using a High Temperature Calvet Microcalorimeter as (182.1 ± 1.7) kJ · mol^?1. These two thermochemical parameters yielded the standard molar enthalpy of formation of the studied compound, in the gaseous phase, at T = 298.15 K, as ?(52.5 ± 8.5) kJ · mol^?1. This parameter was also calculated by computational thermochemistry at M05-2X/6-311++G7 and B3LYP/6-311++G(3df, 2p) levels, with a deviation less than 4.5 kJ · mol^?1 from experimental value. Moreover, the thermophysical study was made by differential scanning calorimetry, DSC, over the temperature interval between T = 263 K and its onset fusion temperature, T = (527.5 ± 0.4) K. A solid–solid phase transition was found at T = (428 ± 1) K, with the enthalpy of transition of (6.1 ± 0.1) kJ · mol^?1. The X-ray crystal structure of TCC was determined and the three-centred N–H?OC hydrogen bonds present analyzed.     

Density of supercritical CO_2-tetrahydrofuran binary mixture and the partial molar volume of the cosolvent

The densities of supercritical CO2-tetrahydrofuran (cosolvent) binary mixture weremeasured at temperatures in range of 308.15 to 323.15 K and at pressure up to 16.5 MPa.The concentrations of tetrahydrofuran were from 0 to 0.57 mol/L.The partial molar volume of tetrahydrofuran was calculated based on the relationship between the density of the mixture and the concentration of the cosolvent.It is observed that the partial molar volume of the cosolvent is negative and the absolute value decreases with increasing pressure and the concentration of the cosolvent.     

How reliable are extrapolations to infinite dilution of partial molar properties using Redlich–Kister fittings?

An explicit method for uncertainty estimation associated with excess partial molar properties at infinite dilution calculated using standard uncertainties of Redlich–Kister parameters, fitted to data over the whole composition range, is presented for the first time. The application of this method to sets of accurate volumetric experimental data for aqueous water + ethanol binary mixtures, experimentally determined by different authors is made and the results are compared. A refinement of this method is also presented when, in very-diluted regions, Redlich–Kister lines deviate from experimental points more than their standard uncertainties. The procedure of uncertainty calculation is based on the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurements (GUM).     

Isothermal vapor–liquid equilibria and excess molar volumes for the ternary mixtures containing 2-methyl pyrazine

Isothermal vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data at 353.15 K and excess molar volumes (V^E) at 298.15 K are reported for the binary systems of ethyl acetate (EA)+cyclohexane and EA+n-hexane and also for the ternary systems of EA+cyclohexane+2-methyl pyrazine (2MP) and EA+n-hexane+2MP. The experimental binary VLE data were correlated with common g^E model equations. The correlated Wilson parameters of the constituent binary systems were used to calculate the phase behavior of the ternary mixtures. The calculated ternary VLE data using Wilson parameters were compared with experimental ternary data. The experimental excess molar volumes were correlated with the Redlich–Kister equation for the binary mixtures, and Cibulka’s equation for the ternary mixtures.     

Study on the influence of teos–diol molar ratio on their chemical interaction during the gelation process

Hybrid organic–inorganic materials, silica–diol, were synthesized by the sol–gel process from mixtures of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and diols: ethylene glycol (HO–CH₂–CH₂–OH) and 1,3 propane diol (HO–CH₂–CH₂–CH₂–OH), in acid catalysis. The gels have been synthesized for a molar ratio H₂O:TEOS = 4:1 and different molar ratios diol/TEOS: 0.25; 0.5; 0.75; 1.0; 1.25 and 1.5. The resulting gels were studied by thermal analysis and FT-IR spectroscopy, in order to evidence the interaction of diols with silica matrix. Thermal analysis indicated that the condensation degree increases with the molar ratio diol/TEOS until a certain value. The thermal decomposition of the organic chains bonded within the silica network in the temperature range 250–320 °C, leaded to a silica matrix with modified morphology. The adsorption–desorption isotherms type is different for the samples with and without diol. Thus, the specific surface areas have values <11 m²/g for the samples without diol and >200 m²/g for the samples with diols, depending on the annealing temperature.
