Temperature and Concentration Dependences of the Electrical Conductance,Diffusion and Kinetic Parameters of Selenium Dioxide Solutions in Ordinary and Heavy Water

On the basis of conductivity studies, empirical equations describing the temperature and concentration dependences of the electrical conductance of SeO₂ solutions in ordinary and heavy water were derived. Values of the equivalent conductivity of ions at infinite dilution, the first dissociation constant of selenous acid in the temperature region 12 to 45^∘C and the thermodynamic parameters of the dissociation process were determined. Using these values, the absolute mobility, the transport numbers of the ions and their diffusion coefficients were calculated. Furthermore, the values of the transition energies Δ E _tr. ^o for the ions were calculated at different temperatures. The dependencies observed were interpreted using Samoylov’s theory for positive/negative hydration of the ions. It was shown that the HSeO₃ ⁻ and DSeO₃ ⁻ ions were positively hydrated and stabilized the solvent structure, but these effects diminished with an increase of the temperature. The temperature dependences of the hydration numbers and the effective ionic radii were determined. The values of the changes of the Gibbs energy, entropy and enthalpy for the transitions of ions from one quasi-equilibrium state to another were calculated at different temperatures.

On the basis of conductometric measurements, empirical equations were derived that describe the temperature and concentration dependences of the electrical conductance of Na₂SeO₃ solutions in ordinary and heavy water. The values of the equivalent conductance of the ions at infinite dilution were determined in the temperature region 12 to 45 °C, as well as the kinetic parameters for ionic motion in the solutions. These parameters were compared with respect to the solvent nature. The values of the effective ionic radii and ionic hydration numbers were obtained. The changes of Gibbs energy, entropy and enthalpy for the transition of ions from one quasi-equilibrium state to another were calculated at different temperatures. According to the terms of Samoylov’s theory, Na⁺ and SeO₃²⁻ ions in H₂O and D₂O were shown to be positively hydrated and stabilize the solvent structure, with this effect being more pronounced in D₂O and increasing slightly with increasing temperature.     

Electron Transport Properties of Ions in Aqueous Solutions of Sodium Selenite

Ion diffusion kinetics has been studied using the data of conductivity measurements for aqueous solutions of sodium selenite with different concentrations and at different temperatures. Molecular and ionic self-diffusion coefficients have been determined for infinitely dilute solutions in the temperature range 288 K-313 K. The limiting values of ion mobility and changes in the energies of translation of water molecules from ions’ hydration shell have been found. At elevated temperatures, ΔE _tr ⁰ increases for both ions in direct proportion to the crystallographic radius of the latter. Ion hydration numbers at 298 K have been calculated. The results of this study are interpreted in the light of Samoilov’s theory on positive and negative hydration of ions.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by L. T. Vlaev and S. D.

Some Structural and Thermodynamic Aspects of Solvation of Single Ions. 2. Salt Effects in Aqueous Solutions of 1–1 Electrolytes

The ionic coefficients of the pair interionic interaction in aqueous solutions of 1–1 electrolytes at 298 K were determined from the real activity coefficients of single-charged single ions using the McMillan–Mayer formalism. Analysis of the results of calculations revealed that salt effects are stronger in the case of cations. The weakening of cation hydration (increased negative hydration) and the strengthening of anion hydration (increased positive hydration) enhance the mutual salting of cations and anions. It is shown that the structural effects of hydration produce a strong effect on the interionic interaction in solutions.     

Activity coefficients at infinite dilution of organic solutes in the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate using gas–liquid chromatography at T = (313.15, 323.15, and 333.15) K

Activity coefficients at infinite dilution were determined for 24 solutes (n-alkanes, alk-1-enes, alk-1-ynes, cycloalkanes, alkylbenzenes, and alcohols) in the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate by gas-liquid chromatography at three different temperatures T = (313.15, 323.15, 333.15) K. The partial molar excess enthalpy values at infinite dilution were calculated from the experimental results over the same temperature range. Selectivities and capacities at infinite dilution for the hexane/benzene and methanol/benzene separation problems were calculated from experimental infinite dilution activity coefficient values. The activity coefficients, enthalpies, selectivities, and capacities are discussed and compared to literature values for other ionic liquids, as well as industrial molecular solvents.     

Thermodynamic study of poly(N-vinyl caprolactam) hydration at temperatures close to lower critical solution temperature

The lower critical solution temperature of aqueous solutions of poly(N-vinyl caprolactam) falls in the 305–307 K range and depends on the molecular weight of the polymer. The thermodynamic functions of mixing at 298 K have been calculated from measurements of vapor pressures and heats of dissolution and dilution. Partial Gibbs energy, partial enthalpy, and partial entropy of mixing were negative over the entire range of composition. Increasing temperature resulted in a decrease in the exothermal character of mixing. Excessive heat capacity values, calculated from the dependencies of enthalpy of mixing on temperature, were positive over the entire composition range. Heat capacity of dilute solutions was measured at 298 K and partial heat capacity of poly(N-vinyl caprolactam) at infinite dilution was shown to be positive. The data obtained point out the hydrophilic and hydrophobic hydration of poly(N-vinyl caprolactam) in aqueous solutions. Hydrophobic hydration dominates at temperatures close to binodal curve. As a result, the mutual mixing of the polymer with water is decreased and phase separation takes place.     

Correlation of the Extraction Constant Values of Zn2+ and Cd2+ from Phosphoric Acid Media by Bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)dithiophosphinic Acid Dissolved in Toluene

Values of the extraction constants of Zn²⁺ and Cd²⁺ from aqueous phosphoric acid solutions (0.36 to 7.31 mol?L^?1) by Cyanex 301 in toluene, involving formation of the complexes ZnR₂ and CdR₂ with R being bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)dithiophosphinate, have been correlated at T=298 K as a function of the ionic strength. For this purpose the activity coefficients of all of the aqueous species have been calculated taking into account both the protolytic equilibria of concentrated phosphoric acid and complexation reactions between the cations and the phosphoric acid species. Good correlations have been obtained for the extraction constant values with the ionic strength, provided the release of water molecules during the extraction processes is considered. Finally, extraction constant values are reported at infinite dilution.     

Apparent Molar Volume and Apparent Molar Expansibility of Lithium,Sodium, Potassium,and Tetramethylammonium Cyclohexylsulfamate in Aqueous Solution

Summary. The apparent molar volume of lithium, sodium, potassium, and tetramethylammonium cyclohexylsulfamate was determined from the density data of their aqueous solutions at 293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 313.15, and 323.15 K.

The limiting apparent molar volume and apparent molar expansibility were evaluated and divided into their ionic components. The partial molar ionic expansibilities were discussed in terms of the hydration of the ion in solution, as well as in terms of the hydration effects on the solute as a whole. From the partial molar expansibility of the solute at infinite dilution the partial molar expansibility of the hydration shell was deduced. The coefficients of thermal expansion of the investigated solutions at 298.15 K were calculated and are presented graphically. The density of the investigated solutions can be adequately represented by an equation derived by Root.

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.     

Solution thermodynamics of pyrazinamide,isoniazid, and p-aminobenzoic acid in buffers and octanol

The solubility values of pyrazinamide, isoniazid, and p-aminobenzoic acid in buffers (рН 2.0 and 7.4) and octanol were measured in the temperature range of 293.15 to 313.15 K. The dissolution Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and entropy were calculated. The dissolving process was endothermic and enthalpy-determined. The activity coefficients of the compounds at infinite dilution were determined based on the solubility data and thermophysical parameters. A positive deviation from the ideality was observed in all the solutions. A common tendency of the solubility increase with a decrease in the activity coefficients at T = 298.15 K was revealed for the investigated solute-solvent systems. The excess thermodynamic solubility functions were calculated from the temperature dependences of the activity coefficients. The solvation processes were found to have a considerable influence on the solubility of the substances in solutions studied.     

Thermodynamic Solution Properties of a Biodegradable Chelant (L-glutamic-N,N-diacetic Acid,L-GLDA) and Its Sequestering Ability toward Cd2+

The thermodynamics of the interaction of L-glutamic-N,N-diacetic acid (GLDA) with protons was studied potentiometrically at different temperatures, ionic strengths and ionic media. Four protonation constants and corresponding enthalpy changes occurred at infinite dilution together with temperature and ionic strength coefficients. The medium effect was also interpreted in terms of the formation of weak complexes between the ligand and the cations of supporting electrolytes, resulting in a greater tendency of GLDA to chemically interact with Na⁺ rather than K⁺ and, in turn, (CH₃)₄N⁺. Formation constants of GLDA with Cd²⁺ were determined in NaCl_(aq) at different ionic strength values. Five complex species were found, namely CdL²⁻, CdHL⁻, CdH₂L⁰_(aq), Cd₂L⁰_(aq), and Cd(OH)L³⁻, whose formation constant values at infinite dilution were log β = 12.68, 17.61, 20.76, 17.52, and 1.77, respectively. All the species results were relevant in the pH range of natural waters, although the Cd₂L⁰_(aq) was observed only for C_Cd ≥ C_GLDA and concentrations of >0.1 mmol dm⁻³. The sequestering ability of GLDA toward Cd²⁺, evaluated by means of pL_0.5, was maximum at pH~10, whereas the presence of a chloride containing a supporting electrolyte exerted a negative effect. Among new generation biodegradable ligands, GLDA was the most efficient in Cd²⁺ sequestration.     

Lower critical solution temperature and hydrophobic hydration in aqueous polymer solutions

Phase diagrams of aqueous solutions of poly(N-vinyl caprolactam) (PVCL), N-vinyl caprolactam copolymer with vinylamine (3.8 mol%) (CP(VCL-VA)), and poly(N-vinyl propylacetamide) (PVPA) were shown to be binodal curves with lower critical solution temperatures (LCST) in the range 304–313.5 K and critical concentrations in the range of 0.02–0.08 polymer weight fraction. Aqueous solutions of N-vinyl caprolactam copolymer with N-vinyl pyrrolidone (80 mol%) (CP(VCL-VP)) remained homogeneous in the entire region of the liquid state of water. The enthalpy of mixing with water of PVPA and CP(VCL-VP) was negative and the curve was concave over the entire range of composition at 298 and 308 K. The excessive heat capacity and partial heat capacity at infinite dilution of PVPA were positive, proving the hydrophobic character of hydration of this polymer. In contrast, these parameters were negative for CP(VCL-VP), revealing hydrophilic hydration. Hydrophilic hydration was predominant in solutions which were homogeneous over a wide temperature range, whereas hydrophobic hydration predominated in solution of polymers with LCST.     

Electrotransport properties of ions in aqueous solutions of H<Subscript>2</Subscript>SeO<Subscript>4</Subscript> and Na<Subscript>2</Subscript>SeO<Subscript>4</Subscript>

Coefficients of self-diffusion, absolute speeds of movement of ions and the activation energy of electrical conductivity are found from the conductance measurements of aqueous solutions of selenic acid and sodium selenate at different concentrations in a temperature range of 288–318 K. Both the Stokes and effective radii of ions and their hydrate numbers at 298 K are calculated. The obtained results are interpreted in the frames of Samoilov theory on positive and negative hydration of ions.     

Models having the thermodynamic properties of aqueous alkaline earth halides and NaCl-MgCl2 mixtures

A model studied earlier in relation to aqueous 1–1 electrolytes has been applied to the interpretation of the excess free energies of aqueous solutions of the alkaline earth halides up to 1 M ionic strength. Several variations on the model could be fitted to the data. In the one which seems most consistent with the other observations, the cospheres (hydration layers) on the M⁺⁺ ions were two water molecules thick rather than one as for the alkali metal, tetraalkylammonium, and halide ions. The overlap of cospheres of an M⁺⁺, M⁺⁺ pair was found to make a small attractive contribution to the interionic force, while the overlap of cospheres of an M⁺⁺, X^– pair makes a small positive contribution which is almost the same for X^–=Cl^–, Br^–, or I^–. Thus, ionic hydration shells which are not penetrated by other ions are not required to account for the observed excess free energies. The model is also fitted to NaCl-MgCl₂ mixtures to see whether the new cosphereoverlap parameter which must be determined is consistent with the others. The calculation also shows how the thermodynamic behavior of the mixtures is consistent with the mixture limiting law for unsymmetrical mixtures. The singularities in the mixing coefficients g₀ and w₀ at infinite dilution dominate their concentration dependence only up to ionic strengths of about 0.01 M in models which fit the data.Most of this report is abstracted from a thesis presented by A. Smitherman to the Graduate School of the State University of New York at Stony Brook in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the M.S. degree, August 1972.     

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.
