Densities and apparent molal volumes of aqueous CaCl2 and MgCl2 solutions

The Pitzer ion interaction model has been used to evaluate literature data for the densities of aqueous CaCl₂ and MgCl₂ solutions between 0 and 100°C. The selected data can be adequately fitted by setting ^(1),v equal to zero. The variations of ^(0),v and C ^v with temperature have been found to be linearly correlated. The uncertainty in the calculated density is lower than 50 ppm below 1M but raises to 300 ppm at high concentrations. When plotted vs. the square root of the molality, the apparent molal volume of MgCl₂ shows a change at a concentration where a transition in the speed of sound has already been reported by Millero, et al.     

Apparent molar heat capacities of aqueous solutions of phosphoric acid and sulfur dioxide from 303 to 623 K and a pressure of 28 MPa

Heat capacities of aqueous solutions of phosphoric acid from 0.1 to 0.8 mol- kg^-1 and sulfur dioxide from 0.2 to 0.9 mol-kg^-1 have been measured with a flow heat-capacity calorimeter from 303 to 623 K and a pressure of 28 MPa. At the lowest molality single-solute solutions as well as mixtures of either H₃PO₄ or SO₂ with HC1 were measured to repress dissociation. Calculated apparent molar heat capacities were corrected for dissociation reactions and the chemical relaxation effect. Experimental results for mixtures were analyzed using Young’s rule. Standard state partial molar heat capacities of H₃PO₄(aq) and SO₂(aq) were obtained by extrapolation to infinite dilution. A few measurements of the densities of aqueous H₃PO₄ and SO₂ were made at 25°C and a pressure of 28 MPa.     

Apparent molal volumes of aqueous solutions of bis-tetraalkylammonium salts at 25°C: Methylene-group contribution to the limiting molal volume

Densities of aqueous solutions of a series of polymethonium chloride and bromide salts (CH₃)₃–N–(CH₂)_n–N–(CH₃)₃X₂ have been measured at 25°C. Apparent molal volumes have been calculated, and methylene-group contributions to the limiting apparent molal volumes °_v have been estimated. Constant values of the methylene-group contribution of 16.5 and 17.0 cm³-mole^–1 were obtained for the bromide and chloride salts, respectively. These values are consistent with methylene-group contributions reported for other series of organic electrolytes.     

Partial molar volumes and activity coefficients of the water in aqueous polyol solutions and the osmotic pressures of these solutions

The freezing-point depression and density of aqueous polyol (alditol) solutions were measured, and the osmotic pressure and the partial molar volume of the water of these solutions were calculated. The osmotic pressures calculated from the freezing-point depression data were compared with those calculated with van't Hoff's equation and fairly good agreement was found. The partial molar volumes of the water in the solutions were equal or almost equal to the molar volume of pure water up to the highest concentrations examined. Also, the activity coefficient of the water was unity or almost unity up to the highest concentrations examined.     

Thermodynamics of aqueous KOH over the full range to saturation and to 573 K

The thermodynamic properties of aqueous KOH are represented by mole-fraction based equations. The apparent molar volume, and the solvent activity are obtained from literature values of experimental measurements of density and solvent vapor pressure for the range 273–573 K. Solute activity measurements are also available up to 343 K. At the highest temperature the dissociated mole fraction of KOH extends to 0.75. The equations represent the data satisfactorily over this very wide range and are of a form readily extended to more complex mixed systems.     

Densities and apparent molal volumes of aqueous concentrated calcium chloride solutions from 50 to 200°C at 20.27 bar

Densities of aqueous calcium chloride solutions are reported for molalities up to 6.4 mol-kg^–1 at temperatures from 50 to 200°C and at 20.27 bar. Apparent molar volumes calculated from experimental densities were fitted to the equations of Rogers and Pitzer, and the temperature dependence of the Pitzer parameters were obtained. The standard deviation of fit for the apparent molar volumes is 0.21 cm³-mol^–1 from 50 to 200°C at 20.27 bar.     

Excess enthalpies and apparent molar volumes of aqueous solutions of crown ethers and cryptand(222) at 25°C

The enthalpies of dilution and densities of aqueous solutions of 12-crown-4, 15-crown-5, 18-crown-6, 1,10-diaza-18-crown-6 and cryptand (222) were measured at 25°C. The excess enthalpies and enthalpic coefficients of solute-solute interactions were calculated by the McMillan-Mayer theory formalism. Values for the apparent molar volumes at infinite dilution were determined by extrapolation. The contributions of the-CH₂CH₂O-group to values of h₂ and to the limiting partial molar volume were calculated for the series of crown ethers studied. It is concluded that the hydrophobic hydration and the hydrophobic solute-solute interaction are predominant in the solutions investigated.     

Volumetric properties of glucose in aqueous HCl solutions at temperatures from 278.15 to 318.15 K

Densities have been measured for Glucose + HCl +Water at 10-degree intervals from 278.15 to 318.15 K. The apparent molar volumes (V _Φ,G) and standard partial molar volumes (V _Φ,G ⁰ ) for Glucose in aqueous solution of 0.2, 0.4, 0.7, 1.1, 1.6, 2.1 mol·kg⁻¹ HCl have been calculated as well as volumetric interaction parameters (V _EG) for Glucose — HCl in water and standard partial molar expansion coefficients (∂V _Φ,G ⁰ / ∂T)_p. Results show that (1) the apparent molar volume for Glucose in aqueous HCl solutions increases lineally with increasing molality of Glucose and HCl; (2) V _Φ,G/0 for Glucose in aqueous HCl solutions increases lineally with increasing molality of HCl; (3) the volumetric interaction parameters for Glucose — HCl pair in water are small positive and vary slightly with temperature; (4) the relation between V _Φ,G ⁰ and temperature exists as V _Φ,G ⁰ = a ₀ + a ₁(T − 273.15 K)^2/3; (5) values of (∂V _Φ,G ⁰ / ∂T)_p are positive and increase as temperatures rise, and at given temperatures decrease slightly with increasing molalities of HCl, indicating that the hydration of glucose decreases with increasing temperature and molality of HCl. These phenomena are interpreted successfully by the structure interaction model. Translated from Acta Chimica Sinica, 2006, 64(16): 1635–1641 (in Chinese)     

Apparent and partial molar volumes of quaternary phosphonium halides in aqueous solutions

The apparent and partial molar volumes in aqueous solution were obtained for (n-Bu)₄PBr and (n-Bu)_4-n Ph _n PCl (n=1–4) at six temperatures from 1 to 55°C. The apparent molar expansibilities were also obtained. The hydrophobic character of the cations is reduced by replacing butyl groups with phenyl groups, as evidenced by the decrease in the magnitudes of the B _v -coefficient (negative for all n) and of the temperature dependent extrema found in the apparent molar volumes and expansibilities as a function of concentration. However, the extrema exist even with BuPh₃PCl at low temperatures. The result suggests that the phenyl groups weakly affect the butyl cospheres and cation-cation interactions.     

Calculated X-ray scattering functions for models for aqueous Ph4AsCl which fit the osmotic coefficient data

Models for Ph₄AsCl (aq.) which incorporate a Gurney cosphere overlap term are fitted to the published osmotic coefficient data. Models with predominantly + – and those with predominantly ++ ion pairing are about equally successful. Further calculations are then made to see how difficult it might be to distinguish between the models by scattering x rays, electrons, or neutrons from the aqueous solution in the rather low concentration range in which the models might be realistic. The x-ray experiment is promising, but high precision in the small-angle region would be necessary.     

Relative partial molar enthalpies and apparent molar volumes of dipeptides in aqueous solution

Enthalpies of dilution at 25°C of aqueous solutions of the dipeptides glycylglycine, glycylalanine and alanylalanine have been determined and used to calculate the partial molar enthalpies of the solvent water in the solutions. The partial molar volumes of these dipeptides are also reported. The results are discussed in terms of the likely solute-solvent interactions.     

Ultrasonic vibration potentials,apparent molal volumes,and apparent molal heat capacities of 1:1 electrolytes in acetonitrile

The ultrasonic vibration potentials and apparent molal volumes for many inorganic and organic electrolytes were measured in acetonitrile at 25°C and combined to obtain ionic contributions to the standard partial molal volumes V°(ion). Monatomic cations and anions of the same size essentially have the same V°(ion). Their size dependence can be interpreted through Hepler's equation. The apparent molal heat capacities were also measured in acetonitrile and used to derive standard values. Various methods of estimating C _p ⁰ (ion) were investigated and an ionic scale is proposed. It is concluded that C _p ⁰ (ion) of large organic ions are very close to the intrinsic heat capacities of the ions, and the solvation contribution to monatomic ions is positive for both cations and anions.     

Calculation of densities of aqueous electrolyte solutions at subzero temperatures

We developed a FORTRAN program based on the Pitzer equations to calculate densities of electrolyte solutions at subzero temperatures. Data from the published literature collected at -28.9, -17.8, -12.2, -6.7, 0, and 25°C were used to calculate the Pitzer-equation parameters and to evaluate model performance. Three approaches to estimating the molar volume of the solute at infinite dilution were evaluated: (1) extrapolation of apparent molar volumes to zero square-root ionic strength; (2) calculation with the Tanger and Helgeson model; and (3) global fit of the data in which the molar volume of the solute at infinite dilution was estimated along with the Pitzer-equation parameters. The last approach gave parameter estimates that reproduced the experimental data most accurately. The parameterized model predicted accurately densities of single-electrolyte and multielectrolyte solutions at -28.9, -17.8, -12.2, -6.7, 0, and 25°C. Available experimental data are generally quite poor. Accordingly, Pitzer-equation parameters estimated for subzero temperatures should be viewed as conditional until improved measurements of single-electrolyte solution densities at subzero temperatures are made.     

Temperature effect on the volume properties of a bisurea aqueous solutions

The densities of aqueous solutions of bisurea (2,4,6,8-tetraazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane-3,7-dione) were measured using a vibrating-tube densimeter at 288.15, 298.15, 308.15, and 318.15 K in the concentration range up to ∼3·10⁻³ moles of solute (1000 g of H₂O)⁻¹ with the error at most ±5· 10⁻⁶ g cm⁻³ (reproducibility up to 2·10⁻⁶ g cm⁻³). The limiting partial molar volume and expansibility of bisurea in water were calculated. The bicyclic molecules under study form in aqueous solution H-bonded hydrate complexes with rather high structure-packing density. These complexes are more subjected to the destroying effect of temperature than the corresponding urea complexes. The hydration of bisurea weakens with the temperature increase.

Acid-base chemistry of omeprazole in aqueous solutions

Omeprazole is a potent anti-acid drug. Its absorption and mode of action are closely related to its prototropic behavior. In the present study, omeprazole samples from different sources and in different forms were studied spectrophotometrically to obtain pK_a values. In the neutral to alkaline pH region, two consistent pK_a values of 7.1 and 14.7 were obtained from various samples. The assignment of these pK_a values was realized by comparison with the prototropic properties of N(1)-methylated omeprazole substituted on the nitrogen at the 1-position of the benzimidazole ring, which was found to have a pK_a of 7.5. The omeprazole pK_a of 14.7 is assigned to the dissociation of the hydrogen from the 1-position of the benzimidazole ring and the pK_a of 7.1 is assigned to the dissociation from the protonated pyridine nitrogen of omeprazole. The results presented are at variance with those of earlier work.
