Thermodynamic properties of peptide solutions: 14. Partial molar expansibilities and isothermal compressibilities of some glycyl dipeptides in aqueous solution

The partial molar volumes at infinite dilution have been obtained for a series of glycyl dipeptides in aqueous solution at 15, 30, and 35°C. These results have been combined with data obtained at 25°C, that were reported earlier, to evaluate the partial molar expansibilities at infinite dilution for the dipeptides at 25°C. These quantities, along with the partial molar heat capacities and isentropic compressibilities at infinite dilution that were reported in previous studies, were used to derive the partial molar isothermal compressibilities at infinite dilution for the glycyl dipeptides at 25°C. The results obtained are rationalized in terms of the hydration of the constituent groups of the dipeptides.     

Enthalpies of dilution of mono-, di- and poly-alcohols in dilute aqueous solutions at 298.15 K

The enthalpies of dilution of aqueous solutions of methanol, ethanol, l-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, l-pentanol, 1-hexanol, cyclohexanol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 2,3-butanediol and poly-alcohol(cyclohexaamylose) have been determined at high dilution as a function of the mole fraction of alcohol at 298.15 K, by a rocking twin-microcalorimeter of the heat-conduction type. A smoothing equation of the enthalpies of dilution against the mole fractions of alcohols are given. The graphical comparison of experimental results with their smoothed values or literature ones, taking into account the dependence of the mole fractions, are also presented. It has been found for the aqueous solutions of shorter n-alcohols than hexanol that at very high dilution, exothermic values of molar enthalpies of dilution from a definite mole fraction of alcohols to infinite dilution with the change of mole fraction is proportional to carbon number of n-alcohols. The molar enthalpies of infinite dilution of aqueous butanediol isomers and 1-hexanol were very large. Molar enthalpies of infinite dilution of aqueous poly-alcohol (cyclohexaamylose) were endothermic. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Thermodynamic Properties of NaCl Solutions at Subzero Temperatures

Heat capacities at infinite dilution of NaCl (aq) for the temperature range 0 to –25°C and apparent molar volumes at infinite dilution for 0 to –15°C have been estimated from a synthesis of experimental data collected at subzero temperatures. The parameters of the Helgeson–Kirkham–Flowers (HKF) equation for Na⁺ (aq) have been obtained, from which the Gibbs energies of Na⁺ and Cl^– have been calculated. The estimated values of Pitzer-equation parameters for thermal and activity-coefficient properties have been adjusted for subzero temperatures. The experimental phase diagram for the NaCl–H₂O system could be reproduced with these data, demonstrating the low-temperature applicability of the HKF model to extrapolate thermodynamic properties of aqueous-solution species at infinite dilution.     

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.     

Henry’s law constant for environmentally significant compounds

Many nonvolatile organic compounds, e.g., polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), are readily stripped during aerobic biodegradation. This is because of the high infinite dilution activity coefficient resulting from forces generated by the water-organic interactions at the molecular level. Several models have been proposed for air-stripping based on the Henry’s law constant. By definition, the Henry’s law constant is the infinite dilution activity coefficient multiplied by the pure component vapor pressure. In this article, a gas saturation technique was used to measure the very low vapor pressures exhibited by these nonvolatile compounds. Literature values of other PAHs have been tabulated and are presented. For determining infinite dilution activity coefficients, a differential ebulliometery apparatus has been constructed. In this technique, the boiling point difference between pure water and a water-organic solution is measured very precisely. Thermodynamics is then used to calculate the infinite dilution activity coefficient. The method’s accuracy has been tested using the phenol-water system.     

The Calorimetric and Volumetric Properties of Selected α-Amino Acids and α,ω-Amino Acids in Water at T = (288.15, 298.15, 313.15, and 328.15) K and p = 0.1 MPa

Relative densities and relative massic heat capacities have been measured for the amino acids β-alanine, 4-aminobutanoic acid, d,l-norleucine and d,l-norvaline in dilute aqueous solution at p = 0.1 MPa and T = (288.15, 298.15, 313.15 and 328.15) K. Apparent molar volumes and apparent molar heat capacities have been calculated and the isothermal concentration dependences of these properties have been modeled to yield apparent molar properties at infinite dilution. Values for apparent molar properties at infinite dilution are compared to those previously reported in the literature. Trends in the temperature dependences of the infinite dilution properties are discussed in terms of methylene group contributions and the variations in these contributions caused by the presence of ionic end groups.     

The determination of activity coefficients at infinite dilution using g.l.c. for hydrocarbons in furfural at T=278.15 K and T=298.15 K

The activity coefficients at infinite dilution for some alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, alkynes and benzene in furfural have been determined by g.l.c. at T=278.15 K and T=298.15 K. The volatility of the solvent furfural, although low, was taken into account. The method used is an alternative to the pre-saturation method. The results have been used to predict the potential for furfural as a solvent in separating aromatic compounds from aliphatic compounds and other hydrocarbons using extractive distillation. The excess enthalpies of mixing at infinite dilution have also been calculated.     

Partial molar volumes of l-alanine,dl-serine,dl-threonine,l-histidine,glycine, and glycylglycine in water,NaCl, and DMSO aqueous solutions at T = 298.15 K

The apparent molar volumes of l-alanine, dl-serine, dl-threonine, l-histidine, glycine, and glycylglycine in water and in the aqueous solutions of NaCl and DMSO with various concentrations at T = 298.15 K have been measured by the precise vibrating-tube digital densimeter. The calculated partial molar volumes at infinite dilution have been used to obtain corresponding transfer volumes from water to various solutions. The experimental results show that the standard partial molar volumes of the above amino acids and peptide at the dilute DMSO aqueous solutions are very close to those in water. However, the volumes show several types of variations with the increase of the concentrations of DMSO due to different types of side chain of amino acids, which should be discussed specifically. The NaCl changes considerably the infinite dilution standard partial molar volumes of the above amino acids and peptide in the aqueous solutions. The infinite dilution standard partial molar volumes of the each amino acids and peptide increase with the concentrations of NaCl. The experimental results have been rationalized by a cosphere overlap model.     

Partial molar volumes of cryptand-222 in organic solvents at 25°C

The partial molar volumes at infinite dilution of cryptand-222 (C-222) in water, methanol, acetonitrile, ethanol, dimethylsulfoxide, propanol, 2-propanol, chloroform, benzene, 1-butanol, cyclohexane, butyl-methylketone, hexane, tetrahydronaphthalene, heptane, octane, cyclohexylbenzene and decane were measured at concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 0.1 mol-L^–1 at 25°C. The partial molar volumes at infinite dilution showed remarkable dependency on the molar volume of the solvent. The partial molar volumes at infinite dilution for C-222 increase as the solvent molar volume increases.     

Volumetric properties of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and thiamine hydrochloride (vitamin B1) in dilute HCl and in aqueous NaCl solutions at (283.15, 293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, and 313.15) K

Apparent molar volumes and apparent molar isentropic compressibilities of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and thiamine hydrochloride (vitamin B₁) were determined from accurately measured density and sound velocity data in water and in aqueous NaCl solutions at (283.15, 293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, and 313.15) K. These volume and compressibility data were extrapolated to zero concentration using suitable empirical or theoretical equations to determine the corresponding infinite dilution values. Apparent molar expansibilities at infinite dilution were determined from slopes of apparent molar volume vs. temperature plots. Ionization of both ascorbic acid and thiamine hydrochloride were suppressed using sufficiently acidic solutions. Apparent molar volumes at infinite dilution for ascorbic acid and thiamine hydrochloride were found to increase with temperature in acidic solutions and in the presence of co-solute, NaCl. Apparent molar expansibility at infinite dilution were found to be constant over the temperature range studied and were all positive, indicating the hydrophilic character of the two vitamins studied in water and in the presence of co-solute, NaCl. Apparent molar isentropic compressibilities of ascorbic acid at infinite dilution were positive in water and in the presence of co-solute, NaCl, at low molalities. Those of thiamine hydrochloride at infinitive dilution were all negative, consistent with its ionic nature. Transfer apparent molar volumes of vitamins at infinite dilution from water solutions to NaCl solutions at various temperatures were determined. The results were interpreted in terms of complex vitamin-water-co-solute (NaCl) interactions.     

Prediction of infinite dilution solvent activity coefficient in rubbery polymer solutions using Engaged Species Induced Clustering (ENSIC) model

It is extremely important to predict infinite dilution solvent activity coefficients in rubbery polymers in design and operation of polymer‐related processes. Many models have been developed to predict the activity coefficients. However, the accuracies of these models are not satisfactory. This article advances a method for predicting the infinite solvent dilution activity coefficients in the rubbery polymers, using the Engaged Species Induced Clustering (ENSIC) model. It elucidates the physiochemical significance and mathematical meaning of the parameters in the ENSIC model. In this article, the ENSIC approach has been proven to agree extremely well with the experimental data in both correlating the finite dilution solvent activity coefficient and predicting the infinite dilution solvent activity coefficient for rubbery polymer/solvent systems. In other words, both the ENSIC equation and its derivative at extremely low solvent concentration are in good agreement with the experimental data. In addition, the article indicates that the ENSIC model is much more accurate than another kind of empirical models‐ the F–H and related models in predicting the infinite dilution solvent activity coefficients in polymer solutions. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The partial molar volumes of the solute at infinite dilution showed remarkable dependancy on the molar volume of the solvent. The partial molar volumes at infinite dilution for the CE increases as the solvent molar volume increases.

Henry’s constants and infinite dilution activity coefficients of propane,propene, butane,isobutene, 1-butene,isobutane, trans-2-butene and 1,3-butadiene in 1-propanol at T=(260 to 340) K

The Henry’s constants and the infinite dilution activity coefficients of propane, propene, butane, isobutane, 1-butene, isobutene, trans-2-butene and 1,3-butadiene in 1-propanol at T=(260 to 340) K are measured by a gas stripping method. The rigorous formula for evaluating the Henry’s constants from the gas stripping measurements is used for these highly volatile mixtures. The accuracy of the measurements is about 2% for Henry’s constants and 3% for the estimated infinite dilution activity coefficients. In the evaluations for the infinite dilution activity coefficients, the nonideality of solute is not negligible especially at higher temperatures and the estimated uncertainty in the infinite dilution activity coefficients include 1% for nonideality.
