Standard state thermodynamic properties of aqueous sodium perrhenate using high dilution calorimetry up to 598.15 K

Standard state thermodynamic properties for aqueous sodium perrhenate at temperature in the range of (298.15 to 598.15) K and at p_sat were determined by high dilution solution calorimetry down to 10^?4 m. Standard state partial molar heat capacities, $C_{p\text{,}2}^{°}$, of aqueous sodium perrhenate calculated from present study are compared to literature values up to T = 398.15 K. The differences between $C_{p\text{,}2}^{°}$ of ${\text{ReO}}_4^{-}(\text{aq})$ and Cl^?(aq) at lower temperature is much greater than that due to their internal molecular motions. Consequently, the perrhenate ion appears to have an ionic incomplete primary hydration shell as compared to the chloride ion. The ${\text{ReO}}_4^{-}/{\text{Cl}}^{-}$ difference in thermodynamic functions has now been well defined up to T = 598.15 K for other important high temperature calculations.     

Densities and derived thermodynamic properties of 1-heptanol and 2-heptanol at temperatures from 313 K to 363 K and pressures up to 22 MPa

Experimental densities were determined in liquid phase for 1-heptanol and 2-heptanol at temperatures from 313 K to 363 K and pressures up to 22 MPa using a vibrating tube densimeter. Water and nitrogen were used as reference fluids for the calibration of the vibrating tube densimeter. The uncertainties of the experimental measurements in the whole range of reported data are estimated to be ±0.03 K for temperature, ±0.008 MPa for pressure, and ±0.20 kg · m^?3 for density. The experimental data are correlated using a short empirical equation of six parameters and the 11-parameter Benedict–Webb–Rubin–Starling equation of state (BWRS EoS) using a least square optimization. Statistical values to evaluate the different correlations are reported. Published density data of 1-heptanol are compared with values calculated with the 6-parameter equation using the parameters obtained in this work. The experimental data determined here are also compared with an available correlation for 1-heptanol. Densities of 2-heptanol at high pressure were not found in the literature and the data reported here represent the first set of data reported in the literature. Isothermal compressibilities and isobaric thermal expansivity are calculated using the 6-parameter equation for both alcohols within uncertainties estimated to be ±0.025 Gpa^?1 and ±4 × 10^?7 K^?1, respectively.     

Excess thermodynamic properties of binary mixtures of N,N-dimethylacetamide with water or water-d2 at temperatures from 277.13 K to 318.15 K

Densities of binary mixtures of N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) with water (H₂O) or water-d₂ (D₂O) were measured at the temperatures from T=277.13 K to T=318.15 K by means of a vibrating-tube densimeter. The excess molar volumes V_m^E, calculated from the density data, are negative for the (H₂O + DMA) and (D₂O + DMA) mixtures over the entire range of composition and temperature. The V_m^E curves exhibit a minimum at x(DMA)≅0.4. At each temperature, this minimum is slightly deeper for the (D₂O + DMA) mixtures than for the corresponding (H₂O + DMA) mixtures. The difference between D₂O and H₂O systems becomes smaller when the temperature increases. The V_m^E results were correlated using a modified Redlich–Kister expansion. The partial molar volume of DMA plotted against x(DMA) goes through a sharp minimum in the water-rich region around x(DMA)≅0.08. This minimum is more pronounced the lower the temperature and is deeper in D₂O than in H₂O at each temperature. Again, the difference becomes smaller as the temperature increases. The excess expansion factor α^E plotted against x(DMA) exhibit a maximum in the water rich region of the mole fraction scale. At each temperature, this maximum is higher for the (D₂O + DMA) mixtures than for the corresponding (H₂O + DMA) mixtures, and the difference becomes smaller as the temperature increases. At its maximum, α^E can be even more than 25 per cent of total value of the cubic expansion coefficient α in the (H₂O + DMA) and (D₂O + DMA) mixtures.     

Heat capacities and thermodynamic functions of hexagonal ice from T = 0.5 K to T = 38 K

The heat capacity of water in the form of hexagonal ice was measured between T = 0.5 K and T = 38 K using a semi-adiabatic calorimetric method. Since heat capacity data below T = 2 K have never been measured for water, this study presents the lowest measured values of the specific heat of water to date. Fits of the data were used to generate thermodynamic functions of water at smoothed temperatures between 0.5 K and 38 K. Both our experimental heat capacities and calculated enthalpy increments agree well with previously published values and thus supplement other studies well.     

The P, V, T,x properties of binary aqueous chloride solutions up to T = 573 K and 100 MPa

A highly accurate P, V, T,x model is developed for aqueous chloride solutions of the binary systems, viz. (LiCl + H₂O), (NaCl + H₂O), (KCl + H₂O), (MgCl₂ + H₂O), (CaCl₂ + H₂O), (SrCl₂ + H₂O), and (BaCl₂ + H₂O). The applied ranges of temperature, pressure, and concentrations for the systems (LiCl + H₂O), (NaCl + H₂O), (KCl + H₂O), (MgCl₂ + H₂O), (CaCl₂ + H₂O), (SrCl₂ + H₂O), and (BaCl₂ + H₂O) are (273 K to 564 K, 0.1 MPa to 40 MPa, and 0 to 10 molal), (273 K to 573 K, 0.1 MPa to 100 MPa, and 0 to 6.0 molal), (273 K to 543 K, 0.1 MPa to 50 MPa, and 0 to 4.5 molal), (273 K to 543 K, 0.1 MPa to 40 MPa, and 0 to 3.0 molal), (273 K to 523 K, 0.1 MPa to 60 MPa, and 0 to 6.0 molal), (298 K to 473 K, 0.1 MPa to 2 MPa, and 0 to 2.0 molal) and (273 K to 473 K, 0.1 MPa to 20 MPa, and 0 to 1.6 molal), respectively. Comparison of the model with thousands of experimental data points concludes that the average deviation over the above T, P, m range is 0.020% to 0.066% in density (or volume) for these systems, which indicates high accuracy. From this model, various volumetric properties, such as the apparent molar volume at infinite dilution and isochores of fluid inclusions, can be calculated, thus having a wide range of geological applications, such as reservoir fluid flow simulation and fluid-inclusion study. A computer code is developed for this model and can be downloaded from the website: www.geochem-model.org/programs.htm and online calculations is made available on: www.geochem-model.org/models.htm     

Thermodynamic properties of mixtures of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone and methanol at temperatures between 298.15 K and 343.15 K and pressures up to 60 MPa

We report measurements of the speed of sound in mixtures of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone and methanol at temperatures between 298.15 K and 343.15 K and at pressures up to 60 MPa. The measurements were made using a dual path pulse-echo apparatus operating at a frequency of 5 MHz. We have also measured the isobaric specific heat capacity of each mixture as a function of temperature at ambient pressure, by means of a Setaram DSC III microcalorimeter. The experimental results have been combined with literature data for the density of the same mixtures as a functions of temperature at ambient pressure to obtain the density, isobaric specific heat capacity, and other thermodynamic properties at temperatures between 298.15 K and 343.15 K and at pressures up to 60 MPa. Detailed comparisons with the literature data are presented.     

Theoretical investigation of structural and thermo-mechanical properties of thoria up to 3300 K temperature

We investigated thermo-mechanical properties of thoria up to a very high temperature (3300 K). We demonstrate that, using first-principles molecular dynamics, it is possible to predict thermal expansion of thoria in agreement with experiment. The new generalized gradient approximation functional within the density functional theory predicts, in agreement with experiment, not only the relative thermal expansion but also the absolute values of the lattice constant as a function of temperature. The molecular dynamics approach has an advantage over the previously used quasi-harmonic method, because it can be used even at temperatures (above 2700 K) where the longitudinal optical mode breaks in thoria. The calculated phonon dispersion agrees well with the experimental relation, measured using inelastic neutron scattering. The temperature, at which the negative frequency in the optical mode appears, coincides with the λ-type pre-melting transition reported in thoria.     

Thermodynamic properties and equation of state of liquid di-isodecyl phthalate at temperature between (273 and 423) K and at pressures up to 140 MPa

We report measurements of the thermodynamic properties of liquid di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP) and an equation of state determined therefrom. The speed of sound in DIDP was measured at temperatures between (293.15 and 413.15) K and a pressures between (0.1 and 140) MPa with a relative uncertainty of 0.1%. In addition, the isobaric specific heat capacity was measured at temperatures between (293.15 and 423.15) K at a pressure of 0.1 MPa with a relative uncertainty of 1%, and the density was measured at temperatures between (273.15 and 413.15) K at a pressure of 0.1 MPa with a relative uncertainty of 0.015%. The thermodynamic properties of DIDP were obtained from the measured speeds of sound by thermodynamic integration starting from the initial values of density and isobaric specific heat capacity obtained experimentally. The results have been represented by a new equation of state containing nine parameters with an uncertainty in density not worse than 0.025%. Comparisons with literature data are made.

The heat capacity of polycrystalline germanium disulfide α-GeS₂ has been measured by relaxation calorimetry, adiabatic calorimetry, DSC and heat flux calorimetry from T = (2 to 1240) K. Values of the molar heat capacity, standard molar entropy and standard molar enthalpy are 66.191 J · K^?1 · mol^?1, 87.935 J · K^?1 · mol^?1 and 12.642 kJ · mol^?1. The temperature of fusion and its enthalpy change are 1116 K and 23 kJ · mol^?1, respectively. The thermodynamic functions of α-GeS₂ were calculated over the range (0 ? T/K ? 1250).     

Volumetric properties of aqueous electrolytes at high temperature: Mixtures of LiOH and KOH up to 523 K

The densities of mixtures of aqueous lithium and potassium hydroxides were measured up to 3 molal, at 373, 423 and 523 K at pressures close to saturation. The partial molar volumes were calculated and the coefficients of the Pitzer equation for the mixtures were obtained. The mixing volume is positive at 373 K while at higher temperatures the mixture is ideal within experimental error, probably as a result of association of the lithium hydroxide.     

Partial molar volumes of organic solutes in water. XIII. Butanols (aq) at temperatures T = 298 K to 573 K and at pressures up to 30 MPa

Density data for dilute aqueous solutions of 1-butanol, 2-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol (iso-butanol), and 2-methyl-2-propanol (tert-butanol) are presented together with partial molar volumes at infinite dilution calculated from the experimental data. The measurements were performed at temperatures from T = 298.15 K up to T = 573.15 K and at pressure close to the saturated vapour pressure of water, at pressures close to p = 20 MPa and p = 30 MPa. The data were obtained using a high-temperature high-pressure flow vibrating-tube densimeter.     

(p, ρ, T) Properties for n-butane in the temperature range from 280 K to 380 K at pressures up to 200 MPa

The (p, ρ, T) properties for n-butane in the compressed liquid phase were measured by means of a metal-bellows variable volumometer in the temperature range from 280 K to 380 K at pressures up to 200 MPa. The mole fraction purity of the n-butane used in the measurements was 0.9997. The expanded uncertainties (k = 2) in temperature, pressure, and density measurements have been estimated to be less than ±3 mK; 1.4 kPa (p ⩽ 7 MPa), 0.06% (7 MPa < p ⩽ 50 MPa), 0.1% (50 MPa < p ⩽ 150 MPa), and 0.2% (p > 150 MPa); and 0.09%, respectively. In the region above100 MPa at T = 280 K and T = 440 K, the uncertainty in density measurements increases from 0.09% to 0.13% and 0.22%, respectively. Eight (p, ρ, T) measurements at the same temperatures and pressures as the literature values have been conducted for comparisons. In addition, comparisons of the available equations of state with the present measurements are reported.     

Compressed liquid densities of 1-butanol and 2-butanol at temperatures from 313 K to 363 K and pressures up to 25 MPa

(p, ρ, T) properties were determined in liquid phase for 1-butanol and 2-butanol at temperatures from 313 K to 363 K and pressures up to 25 MPa using a vibrating tube densimeter. The uncertainty is estimated to be lower than ±0.2 kg · m⁻³ for the experimental densities. Nitrogen and water were used as reference fluids for the calibration of the vibrating tube densimeter. Experimental densities of 1-butanol and 2-butanol were correlated with a short empirical equation and the 11-parameter Benedict–Webb–Rubin–Starling equation of state (BWRS EoS) using a least square optimization. Statistical values to evaluate the different correlations were reported. Published densities of 1-butanol and 2-butanol are compared with values calculated with the BWRS EoS using the parameters obtained in this work. The experimental data determined here are also compared with available correlations for 1-butanol and 2-butanol.     

Ternary mutual diffusion of isoniazid in aqueous sodium chloride,sodium hydroxide,and hydrochloric acid at T = 298.15 K

Ternary mutual diffusion coefficients measured by Taylor dispersion method (D₁₁, D₂₂, D₁₂, and D₂₁) are reported for aqueous solutions containing isoniazid and different electrolytes (NaCl, NaOH, or HCl) at T = 298.15 K at different carrier concentrations. These diffusion coefficients have been measured having in mind a better understanding of the structure of these systems and the thermodynamic behaviour of isoniazid in different media. For example, it is possible to make conclusions about the influence of these electrolytes in diffusion of isoniazid, and to obtain information concerning the number of moles of each component transported per mole of the other component driven by its own concentration gradient.     

Solubilities of oleanolic acid and ursolic acid in (ethanol + water) mixed solvents from T = (292.2 to 328.2) K

The solubility of oleanolic acid and of ursolic acid in (ethanol + water) mixed solvents was measured over the temperature range of (292.2 to 328.2) K.

The experimental solubility data are correlated by a simplified thermodynamic equation and the modified Apelblat equation.
