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.     

Volumetric Properties of the Nucleoside Thymidine in Aqueous Solution at T = 298.15 K and p = (10 to 100) MPa

Sound speeds have been measured for aqueous solutions of the nucleoside thymidine at T = 298.15 K and at the pressures p = (10, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100) MPa. The partial molar volumes at infinite dilution, $ V_{2}^{\text{o}} $ , the partial molar isentropic compressions at infinite dilution, $ K_{S,2}^{\text{o}} $ , and the partial molar isothermal compressions at infinite dilution, $ K_{T,2}^{\text{o}} $ $ \{ K_{T,2}^{\text{o}} = - (\partial V_{2}^{\text{o}} /\partial p)_{T} \} $ , have been derived from the sound speeds at elevated pressures using methods described in our previous work. The $ V_{2}^{\text{o}} $ and $ K_{T,2}^{\text{o}} $ results were rationalized in terms of the likely interactions between thymidine and the aqueous solvent. The $ V_{2}^{\text{o}} $ results were also compared with those calculated using the revised Helgeson–Kirkham–Flowers (HKF) equation of state.     

Partial Molar Volumes and Isentropic Compressions of Cyclic Ethers in Aqueous Solutions from 288.15 to 313.15 K at Atmospheric Pressure

The partial molar volumes and isentropic compressions of aqueous solutions of tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydropyran, 1,4-dioxane, tetrahydropyran-2-methanol, 3-hydroxytetrahydrofuran, and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol were measured at 288.15, 298.15, and 313.15 K. Results are analyzed in terms of the effects of group addition to the molar volumes and isentropic compressions. The temperature dependence of the molar volumes and compressions, and their group contributions, are used to characterize changes in hydration.     

Volumetric Properties of l-Alanine and l-Serine in Aqueous N,N-Dimethylformamide Solutions at 298.15 K

The densities of l-alanine and l-serine in aqueous solutions of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) have been measured at 298.15 K with an Anton Paar Model 55 densimeter. Apparent molar volumes $ (V_{\phi } ) $ ( V ? ) , standard partial molar volumes $ (V_{\phi }^{0} ) $ ( V ? 0 ) , standard partial molar volumes of transfer $ (\Updelta_{\text{tr}} V_{\phi }^{0} ) $ ( Δ tr V ? 0 ) and hydration numbers have been determined for the amino acids. The $ \Updelta_{\text{tr}} V_{\phi }^{0} $ Δ tr V ? 0 values of l-serine are positive which suggest that hydrophilic–hydrophilic interactions between l-serine and DMF are predominant. The –CH₃ group of l-alanine has much more influence on the volumetric properties and the $ \Updelta_{\text{tr}} V_{\phi }^{0} $ Δ tr V ? 0 have smaller negative values. The results have been interpreted in terms of the cosphere overlap model.     

The Enthalpies of Solution of L-cysteine, L-serine and L-asparagine in Aqueous Solutions of Some Alcohols at 298.15 K

Heats of solution, Δ_sol H _m , of L-cysteine, L-serine and L-asparagine amino acids have been measured at different concentrations of aqueous ethanol, propanol and 2-propanol at 298.15 K using solvation calorimetry. These data are compared with the results reported earlier for L-alanine in ethanol. The enthalpic coefficients, h _xy , of the solute-organic cosolvent pair interaction in water have been obtained from the McMillan-Mayer approach and the data have been interpreted in terms of various interactions and changes in solvent structure.     

Apparent Molar Volumes of Aqueous Solutions of Magnesium Tetraborate from 283.15 to 363.15 K and 0.1 MPa

Densities for aqueous solutions of magnesium tetraborate MgB₄O₇(aq) at the molalities of (0.00556–0.03341) mol·kg^?1 were measured with an Anton Paar Digital vibrating-tube densimeter at temperature intervals of 5 K from 283.15 to 363.15 K and 0.1 MPa. Apparent molar volumes were obtained based on the experimental density data, and the 3D diagrams of the apparent molar volume (V _? ) of MgB₄O₇(aq) against temperature (T) and molality (m) were plotted. On the basis of the Vogel–Tamman–Fulcher equation, the coefficients of the correlation equation for densities of MgB₄O₇(aq) against temperature and molality were parameterized. According to the Pitzer ion-interaction model of the apparent molar volume, the temperature correlation equations of Pitzer single-salt parameters F(i,p,T)?=?a₀?+?a₁?×?T?+?a₂?×?T ²?+?a₃/T?+?a₄?×?ln(T)?+?a₅?×?T ³ (where T is temperature in Kelvin, a _i are model parameters) for MgB₄O₇ were obtained for the first time.     

Apparent and Transfer Molar Volumes for Aqueous Solution Containing Polyethylene Glycols and Amino Acid Ionic Liquids at 298.15 K

The densities of 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ([Bmim]) based amino acid ionic liquids (AAILs) prepared from glycine [Gly], alanine [Ala], and valine [Val], namely [Bmim][Gly], [Bmim][Ala] and [Bmim][Val], in aqueous?~?0.2 mol·kg^?1 polyethylene glycol (PEG400, PEG600 or PEG1000) and PEG400 solutions containing?~?(0.0946, 0.1891 and 0.3820) mol·kg^?1 of [Bmim][Gly], have been determined at 298.15 K. The experimental densities were used to evaluate the apparent molar volumes in the mixed solvent system and further used to obtain transfer molar volumes of AAILs for their transfer from water to aqueous PEG solutions and of PEG400 for its transfer from water to aqueous solutions containing (0.0946, 0.1891 and 0.3820) mol·kg^?1 of [Bmim][Gly]. The transfer molar volumes of AAILs and of PEG400 are found to be negative. The effects of alkyl chain-length variation on the anion of AAILs as well as the chain-length of PEG on transfer molar volumes are investigated and discussed in terms of hydrophobic–hydrophilic, hydrophobic–hydrophobic, and ion–hydrophobic interactions.     

Volumetric Study of Aqueous Solutions of Polyethylene Glycol as a Function of the Polymer Molar Mass in the Temperature Range 283.15 to 313.15 K and 0.1 MPa

Density measurements were made for binary aqueous solutions of polyethylene glycol at seven temperatures: 283.15, 288.15, 293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, and 313.15 K. Polyethylene glycol samples with nominal average molar masses of 3000 g⋅mol⁻¹ (PEG 3000), 6000 g⋅mol⁻¹ (PEG 6000), 10000 g⋅mol⁻¹ (PEG 10000) and 20000 g⋅mol⁻¹ (PEG 20000) were used. These results were used to determine the specific volumes of solutions with solute-to-solvent mass ratios (mass of the solute/mass of the solvent) in the range 0.0546 to 1.4932 for PEG 3000, from 0.0553 to 1.4986 for PEG 6000, from 0.0552 to 1.2241 for PEG 10000, and from 0.0530 to 1.2264 for PEG 20000. The differences between the specific volume of a solution and the specific volume of the pure solvent, at a given temperature, were represented by a virial-type equation in terms of solute concentration. The first-order coefficient of the expansion is the partial specific volume of the solute at infinite dilution. The higher-order coefficients are related to the contribution of pairs, triplets, and higher-order solute aggregates, according to the Constant-Pressure Solution Theory. The functional dependence of the virial coefficients upon temperature is discussed in terms of solute-solute and solute-solvent interactions. The effect of the PEG molar mass on the partial specific volume of solute at infinite dilution, as well as the contributions of pairs of solute molecules to the solution volume, are also investigated. The apparent specific volume, apparent specific expansibility, apparent specific expansibility at infinite dilution and virial coefficients of the apparent specific expansibility are also presented.     

The Partial Molar Volumes and Heat Capacities of the Arginyl Side-chain of Proteins in Aqueous Solution over the Temperature Range 288.15 to 328.15 K

Solution densities over the temperature range 288.15 to 328.15 K have been measured for aqueous solutions of N-acetylarginamide monotrifluoroacetate and sodium trifluoroacetate, from which the partial molar volumes at infinite dilution, V₂^oV_{2}^{\mathrm{o}}, were determined. The partial molar heat capacities at infinite dilution, C_p,2^oC_{p,2}^{\mathrm{o}}, were also determined for these solutes over the same temperature range. These V₂^oV_{2}^{\mathrm{o}} and C_p,2^oC_{p,2}^{\mathrm{o}} results, along with relevant data taken from the literature, have been used to calculate the contributions of the protonated arginyl side-chain to the thermodynamic properties. These new side-chain values were critically compared with those obtained previously using alternative side-chain model compounds.     

Enthalpies of Dilution of N,N′-hexamethylenebisacetamide in Pure Water and Aqueous Solutions of Alkali Halide at 298.15 K

Enthalpies of dilution of N,N′-hexamethylenebisacetamide in water and aqueous alkali halide solutions at the concentration of 0.150 mol⋅kg⁻¹ (approximately the concentration of physiological saline) have been determined by isothermal titration microcalorimetry at 298.15 K. The enthalpic interaction coefficients in the solutions have been calculated according to the excess enthalpy concept based on the calorimetric data. The values of enthalpic pair-wise interaction coefficients (h ₂) of the solute in aqueous solutions of different salts were discussed in terms of the different alkali salt ions and weak interactions of the diluted component with coexistent species as well as the change in solvent structure caused by ions.     

Refractive index and molar refractivity of benzonitrile, chlorobenzene, benzyl chloride and benzyl alcohol with benzene at T = 298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K

Densities and refractive indices were measured for the binary liquid mixtures formed by benzonitrile, chlorobenzene, benzyl chloride, and benzyl alcohol with benzene at (T = 298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K) and atmospheric pressure over the whole concentration range. The Lorentz–Lorentz mixing rule, the Ramaswami and Anbananthan model, and the model devised by Glinski were used to study the refractive index and molar refractivity. These results have been discussed to study the type of mixing behavior between the mixing molecules. The measured data were fitted to the Redlich–Kister polynomial relation to estimate the binary coefficients and standard errors. Furthermore, the McAllister multibody interaction model is used to correlate the binary refractive index with the experimental findings. It is observed that molar refractivity, molecular interaction, and association constant can be better understood from these models.     

Calorimetric and Volumetric Studies of the Interactions of Propionamide in Aqueous Alkan-1-ol Solutions at 298.15 K

Enthalpies of solution and apparent molar volumes have been determined for propionamide in aqueous methanol, ethanol and propanol solutions at 298.15 K using a C-80 microcalorimeter and a DMA60/602 vibrating-tube digital densimeter. The enthalpic and volumetric interaction coefficients have been calculated. Using the present results along with results from previous studies for formamide, the pair-interaction coefficients are discussed from the perspective of dipole-dipole and structural interactions. In addition, the triplet interaction coefficients are interpreted by using the solvent-separated association mechanism.     

Enthalpies of Solution of L–L- and D–D- Isomers of Valine in Aqueous Alkanols at 298.15 K

The enthalpies of solution of L- and D-valines in water-ethanol, water-n-propanol, and water-i-propanol mixtures were measured calorimetrically at 298.15 K at alcohol mole fractions, x ₂, ranging up to 0.4. Enthalpies of transfer, Δ_tr H°, from water to aqueous alkanol were calculated for each of the system studied. The enthalpic coefficients, h _xy , of the solute-cosolvent pair-wise interaction in water proved to be positive and increasing in the series: ethanol, n-propanol, and i-propanol. It was shown that both the nature of the amino acid L–L- and D–D-isomerization and dimensions of linear or branched cosolvent molecules define the energetics of interaction between valine and alkanol molecules.     

The Partial Molar Heat Capacities and Expansions of Inosine, 2′-Deoxyinosine and 2′-Deoxyguanosine in Aqueous Solution at 298.15 K

Solution densities over the temperature range 288.15 to 313.15 K have been measured for aqueous solutions of the nucleosides inosine, 2′-deoxyinosine, and 2′-deoxyguanosine, from which the partial molar volumes of the solutes at infinite dilution, V ₂^o, were obtained. The partial molar expansions for the nucleosides at infinite dilution and 298.15 K, E ₂^o {E ₂^o=(∂ V ₂^o/∂ T) _p }, were derived from the V ₂^o results. The V ₂^o values at 298.15 K for the two sugars D-ribose and 2-deoxyribose also have been determined. The partial molar heat capacities at infinite dilution for all the solutes, C _p,2^o, have been determined at 298.15 K. These V ₂^o,E ₂^o, and C _p,2^o results are critically compared with all of the results available from the literature, and the use of group additivity to evaluate these solution thermodynamic properties for the sparingly soluble nucleoside guanosine is explored.
