Measurement of activity coefficients of amino acids in aqueous electrolyte solutions: experimental data for the systems (H2O + NaBr + glycine) and (H2O + NaBr + l-valine) at T=298.15 K

Electrochemical cells with two ion-selective electrodes, a cation ion-selective electrode against an anion ion-selective electrode, were used to measure the activity coefficient of amino acids in aqueous electrolyte solutions. Activity coefficient data were measured for (H₂O + NaBr + glycine) and (H₂O + NaBr + l-valine) at T=298.15 K. The maximum concentrations of sodium bromide, glycine, and l-valine were (1.0, 2.4, and 0.4) mol · kg⁻¹, respectively. The results show that the presence of an electrolyte and the nature of both the cation and the anion of the electrolyte have significant effects on the activity coefficients of amino acid in aqueous electrolyte solutions.     

Activity coefficients of electrolyte and amino acid in the systems (water + potassium chloride + dl -valine) at T = 298.15 K and (water + sodium chloride + l -valine) at T = 308.15 K

The activity coefficient data were reported for (water  +  potassium chloride  + dl -valine) at T =  298.15 K and (water  +  sodium chloride  + l -valine) at T =  308.15 K. The measurements were performed in an electrochemical cell using ion-selective electrodes. The maximum concentrations of the electrolytes and the amino acids studied were 1.0 molality and 0.4 molality, respectively. The results of the activity coefficients of dl -valine are compared with the activity coefficients of dl -valine in (water  +  sodium chloride  + dl -valine) system obtained from the previous study. The results show that the presence of an electrolyte and the nature of its cation have a significant effect on the activity coefficient of dl -valine in aqueous electrolyte solutions.     

Excess molar enthalpies for (benzonitrile + an aromatic hydrocarbon) atT = 298.15 K

The excess molar enthalpies of (benzonitrile  +  benzene, or methylbenzene, or 1,2-dimethylbenzene, or 1,3-dimethylbenzene, or 1,4-dimethylbenzene, or 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, or ethylbenzene) have been determined at T =  298.15 K. The excess molar enthalpies range from  − 10 J · mol ^− 1for methylbenzene to 130 J · mol ^− 1for 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene. The Redlich–Kister equation, the NRTL, and UNIQUAC models were used to correlate the data. The results indicate a relatively strong association between benzonitrile and each of the aromatic compounds, decreasing with increasing methyl substitution on the benzene moiety.     

Excess molar volumes of (an alkane + 1-chloroalkane) atT = 298.15 K

The densities of the following: (pentane  +  1-chloropropane, or 1-chlorobutane, or 1-chloropentane, or 1-chlorohexane), (hexane  +  1-chloropropane, or 1-chlorobutane, or 1-chloropentane, or 1-chlorohexane), (heptane  +  1-chloropropane, or 1-chlorobutane, or 1-chloropentane, or 1-chlorohexane), (octane  +  1-chloropropane, or 1-chlorobutane, or 1-chloropentane, or 1-chlorohexane), were measured at T =  298.15 K by means of a vibrating-tube densimeter. The excess molar volumes V_m^E, calculated from the density data, are negative for (pentane  +  1-chloropentane, or 1-chlorohexane) and (hexane  +  1-chlorohexane) over the entire range of composition. (Pentane  +  1-chlorobutane), (hexane  +  1-chloropentane) and (heptane  +  1-chlorohexane) exhibit an S-shapedV_m^E dependence. For all the other systems,V_m^E is positive. The V_m^Eresults were correlated using the fourth-order Redlich–Kister equation, with the maximum likelihood principle being applied for determining the adjustable parameters.     

Volumetric properties of (an organic compound + di-n-butyl ether) atT = 298.15 K

Excess molar volumes V_m^Eof {di- n -butyl ether (DBE)  +  a monofunctional organic compound} have been determined atT =  298.15 K over the whole composition range by means of a vibrating-tube densimeter. TheV_m^E values were either positive (propylamine, or butylamine, or acetone, or tetrahydrofuran  +  DBE) or negative (methanol, or butanol, or diethyl ether, or cyclopentanone, or acetonitrile  +  DBE). Markedly asymmetric V_m^Ecurves were displayed by (DBE  +  methanol) and (DBE  +  acetonitrile). Partial molar volumes __ V_m^oat infinite dilution in DBE, both from this work and the literature, were analysed in terms of an additivity scheme, and the group contributions thus obtained were discussed and compared with analogous results in water. DBE revealed a greater capability of distinguishing between polar and non-polar solutes, as well as in discriminating differently shaped molecules (unbranched, branched, cyclic). The limiting slopes of apparent excess molar volumes are evaluated and briefly discussed in terms of solute–solute and solute–solvent interactions.     

Excess molar enthalpies of (acetonitrile + butan-2-one) and (methanol + acetonitrile + butan-2-one) atT = 298.15 K

The excess molar enthalpies of (acetonitrile  +  butan-2-one) and (methanol  +  acetonitrile  +  butan-2-one) were measured atT =  298.15 K and atmospheric pressure using a flow microcalorimeter. The experimental results are correlated with polynomial equations and compared with those calculated from associated solution models taking account into self-association of methanol and acetonitrile as well as solvation between unlike molecules and a non-polar interaction term.     

Mean activity coefficients of NaCl in (sodium chloride + sodium bicarbonate + water) fromT = (293.15 to 308.15) K

The mean activity coefficients of NaCl in (sodium chloride  +  sodium bicarbonate  +  water) were determined experimentally in the temperature range 293.15 K to 308.15 K at four NaHCO₃molality fractions (0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7). The measurements were made with an electrochemical cell, using a Na ⁺ glass ion-selective electrode and a Cl ⁻ solid-state ion-selective electrode. The experimental values reported by Butler and Huston are found to be higher than those calculated from the Pitzer equation using the existing parameters while the experimental results of this work are close to the calculated values, up to an NaHCO₃molality fraction of 0.5. At the NaHCO₃molality fraction of 0.7, the experimental data are much lower than the calculated values, implying that the interference of HCO₃ ⁻ on the Na ⁺ glass ion-selective electrode can only be neglected up to a molality fraction of NaHCO₃of 0.5, an observation which is consistent with that of Butler and Huston.     

Phase equilibria for liquid mixtures of (benzonitrile + a carboxylic acid + water) atT = 298.15 K

(Liquid  +  liquid) equilibrium data are presented for mixtures of {benzonitrile(1)  +  acetic acid or propanoic acid or butanoic acid or 2-methylpropanoic acid or pentanoic acid or 3-methylbutanoic acid(2)  +  water(3)} atT =  298.15 K. The relative mutual solubility of each of the carboxylic acids is higher in the benzonitrile layer than in the aqueous layer. The influence of 3-methylbutanoic acid, pentanoic acid, 2-methylpropanoic acid, and butanoic acid on the solubility of the hydrocarbons in benzonitrile is greater than that of the acetic and propanoic acids. Three three-parameter equations have been fitted to the binodal curve data. These equations are compared and discussed in terms of statistical consistency. The NRTL and UNIQUAC models were used to correlate the experimental tie lines and to calculate the phase compositions of the ternary systems. The NRTL equation fitted the experimental data far better than the UNIQUAC equation. Selectivity values for solvent separation efficiency were derived from the tie line data.     

Water activities,osmotic and activity coefficients in aqueous chloride solutions atT = 298.15 K by the hygrometric method

Water activities of aqueous electrolyte solutions of HCl(aq), LiCl(aq), NaCl(aq), KCl(aq), CsCl(aq), NH₄Cl(aq), MgCl₂(aq), CaCl₂(aq), and BaCl₂(aq) have been determined at T =  298.15 K by the hygrometric method, and at molalities ranging from 0.2 mol · kg ^− 1to saturation. From measurements of droplets diameters of reference NaCl(aq) or LiCl(aq), the dependence of relative humidity on solute concentration was determined. The data on the relative humidities allow the deduction of water activities and the osmotic coefficients at different molalities. Osmotic coefficient data have been described by the ion interaction model of Pitzer. The ion interaction parameters were also determined for each of the studied salts. With these parameters, the solute activity coefficients can be predicted. Our present results have been compared with reported thermodynamic data.     

Thermodynamic properties of (NaCl + KCl + LiCl + H2O) at T = 298.15 K: Water activities,osmotic and activity coefficients

The water activities of aqueous electrolyte mixture (NaCl + KCl + LiCl + H₂O) were experimentally determined at T = 298.15 K by the hygrometric method at total ionic-strength from 0.4 mol · kg⁻¹ to 6 mol · kg⁻¹ for different ionic-strength fractions y of NaCl with y = 1/3, 1/2, and 2/3. The data allow the deduction of new osmotic coefficients. The results obtained were correlated by Pitzer’s model and Dinane’s mixing rules ECA I and ECA II for calculations of the water activity in mixed aqueous electrolytes. A new Dinane–Pitzer model is proposed for the calculation of osmotic coefficients in quaternary aqueous mixtures using the newly ternary and quaternary ionic mixing parameters of this studied system. The solute activity coefficients of component in the mixture are also determined for different ionic-strength fractions y of NaCl.     

Activity coefficients of CaCl2 in (serine or proline + water) mixtures at T = 298.15 K

Activity coefficients for the (CaCl₂ + amino acid + water) system were determined at a temperature of 298.15 K using ion-selective electrodes. The range of molalities of CaCl₂ is (0.01 to 0.20) mol · kg^?1, and that of amino acids is (0.10 to 0.40) mol · kg^?1. The activity coefficients obtained from the Debye–Hückel extended equation and the Pitzer equation are in good agreement with each other. Results show that the interactions between CaCl₂ and amino acid are controlled mainly by the electrostatic interactions (attraction). Gibbs free energy interaction parameters (g_EA) and salting constants (k_S) are positive, indicating that these amino acids are salted out by CaCl₂. These results are discussed based on group additivity model.     

Thermodynamic excess properties for binary mixtures of (butanenitrile + a carboxylic acid) atT = 298.15 K

Excess molar enthalpies and excess molar volumes for (butanenitrile  +  acetic acid, or propanoic acid, or butanoic acid, or 2-methylpropanoic acid, or pentanoic acid, or 3-me thylbutanoic acid) atT =  298.15 K are presented. The excess molar enthalpy values are found to be positive for all six systems, whereas the excess molar volumes are found to be negative. The excess molar enthalpy values are correlated by the UNIQUAC and NRTL models and also by the Redlich–Kister polynomial.     

(Solid + liquid) isothermal evaporation phase equilibria in the aqueous ternary system (Li2SO4 + MgSO4 + H2O) at T = 308.15 K

The solubility and the density in the aqueous ternary system (Li₂SO₄ + MgSO₄ + H₂O) at T = 308.15 K were determined by the isothermal evaporation. Our experimental results permitted the construction of the phase diagram and the plot of density against composition. It was found that there is one eutectic point for (Li₂SO₄ · H₂O + MgSO₄ · 7H₂O), two univariant curves, and two crystallization regions corresponding to lithium sulphate monohydrate (Li₂SO₄ · H₂O) and epsomite (MgSO₄ · 7H₂O). The system belongs to a simple co-saturated type, and neither double salts nor solid solution was found. Based on the Pitzer ion-interaction model and its extended HW models of aqueous electrolyte solution, the solubility of the ternary system at T = 308.15 K has been calculated. The predicted solubility agrees well with the experimental values.     

Density,speed of sound and refractive index of (n-hexane + cyclohexane + 1-hexanol) atT = 298.15 K

Densities, speeds of sound and refractive indices have been measured for (n -hexane  +  cyclohexane  +  1-hexanol) and its corresponding binaries atT =  298.15 K. In addition, ideal isentropic compressibilities were calculated from the speeds of sound, densities, and literature heat capacities and cubic expansion coefficients. The excess molar volumes and excess isentropic compressibilities, and deviations of the speed of sound and refractive index are correlated by polynomials and discussed.The Nitta–Chao model was used to estimate binary and ternary excess molar volumes, and several empirical equations were also used to calculate the excess and deviation properties.     

Hygrometric determination of the water activities and the osmotic and activity coefficients of (ammonium chloride + sodium chloride + water) atT = 298.15 K

The mixed aqueous electrolyte system of ammonium and sodium chlorides has been studied by the hygrometric method at the temperature 298.15 K. The relative humidities of this system were measured at total molalities from 0.3mol · kg ^− 1 to 6 mol · kg ^− 1for different ionic-strength fractions of NH ₄Cl with y =  (0.33, 0.50, and 0.67). The data obtained allow the deduction of new water activities and osmotic coefficients. The experimental results are compared with the predictions of the extended composed additivity model proposed in our previous work, the Robinson–Stokes, Reilly–Wood–Robinson, and Lietzke–Stoughton models. From these measurements, the new Pitzer mixing ionic parameters were determined and used to predict the solute activity coefficients in the mixture.     

Excess molar enthalpies and excess molar volumes of (1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone + an aromatic hydrocarbon) atT = 298.15 K

Excess molar enthalpies H_m^Eand excess molar volumesV_m^E of (1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone  +  benzene, or methylbenzene, or 1,2-dimethylbenzene, or 1,3-dimethylbenzene, or 1,4-dimethylbenzene, or 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, or ethylbenzene) over the whole range of compositions have been measured at T =  298.15 K. The excess molar enthalpy values were positive for five of the seven systems studied and the excess molar volume values were negative for six of the seven systems studied. The excess enthalpy ranged from a maximum of 435 J · mol ^− 1for (1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazoline  +  1,3,5-trimethylbenzene) to a minimum of  − 308 J · mol ^− 1for (1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazoline  +  benzene). The excess molar volume values ranged from a maximum of 0.95cm³mol ^− 1 for (1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazoline  +  ethylbenzene) and a minimum of  − 1.41 cm³mol ^− 1for (1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazoline  +  methylbenzene). The Redlich–Kister polynomial was used to correlate both the excess molar enthalpy and the excess molar volume data and the NRTL and UNIQUAC models were used to correlate the enthalpy of mixing data. The NRTL equation was found to be more suitable than the UNIQUAC equation for these systems. The results are discussed in terms of the polarizability of the aromatic compound and the effect of methyl substituents on the benzene ring.     

Thermodynamic study of the mixed system (CsCl + CaCl2 + H2O) by EMF Measurements at T = 298.15 K

This work reports the results of a thermodynamic investigation of the ternary mixed-electrolyte system (CsCl + CaCl₂ + H₂O). The activity coefficients of this mixed aqueous electrolyte system have been studied with the electromotive force measurement (EMF) of the cell: Cs ion-selective electrode (ISE)|CsCl(m_A), CaCl₂(m_B), H₂O|Ag/AgCl at T = 298.15 K and over total ionic strengths from (0.01 to 1.50) mol · kg^?1 for different ionic strength fractions y_B of CaCl₂ with y_B = (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8). The cesium ion-selective electrode (Cs-ISE) and the Ag/AgCl electrode used in this work were made in our laboratory and had a good Nernst response. The experimental results obey the Harned rule, and the Pitzer model can be used to describe this ternary system satisfactorily. The osmotic coefficients, excess Gibbs free energies and activities of water of the mixtures were also calculated.
