Volumetric and Viscometric Studies on an Aqueous Urea Solution

Of late there has been a renewed inerest in the thermodynamics and other investigations on the behaviour of urea (denaturants) in aqueous solution which induce changes in structure and properties of proteins including their solubility, denaturation, dissociation into subunits and the activity of enzymes. With this in view, density and viscosity of aqueous urea solutions were determined as a function of concentration at 35, 40, 45, 50 and 55C, respectively. The apparent molal volume $(phi _v )$ of urea was found to be linear function of solute concentration. From the $phi _v$ versus molality ( m ) plot the apparent molal volume at infinite dilution, $phi _v^o$ (taken to be equal to partial molal volume, $bar V_2^o$ ) was determined. Viscosity coefficients B and D were calculated on the basis of the viscosity of the solutions and the solvent concerned using the Jones-Dole equation. The activation parameters for viscous flow $(Delta G^{ne} , ,Delta S^{ne} {rm and }Delta H^{ne} )$ were also calculated by means of the Eyring equation. The data were interpreted in terms of the structure making behaviour of urea in water at 35-55C temperature range.     

Volumetric and Viscometric Studies on Sodium Nitrate and Potassium Nitrate in Aqueous and H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O-urea Solutions

Summary.  Density and viscosity of NaNO₃ and KNO₃ in aqueous and in H₂O-urea solutions were determined as a function of electrolyte concentrations at 308, 313, 318, 323, and 328 K, respectively. The apparent molal volume (φ _v ) of the electrolytes were found to be linear functions of the square root of the solute molality (b). The φ _v and data were fitted to the Masson equation [1] by the least square method to obtain the apparent molar volume at infinite dilution (φ _v ^{^}), which is practically equal to the partial molar volume . The viscosity coefficients A and B were calculated on the basis of the viscosity of the solutions and the solvent concerned using the Jones–Dole [2] equation. The activation parameters for viscous flow (ΔG ^≠, ΔS ^≠, and ΔH ^≠) were calculated according to Eyring [3]. The values of for the two systems were also calculated from B-coefficient data. The results were found to be of opposite nature in the two electrolyte systems. Where sodium nitrate showed structure making behaviour both in aqueous and in H₂O-urea solutions, KNO₃ showed structure breaking behaviour in aqueous solutions and structure making behaviour in 5 molal H₂O-urea solutions in the studied temperature range. The behaviour of these two electrolytes in aqueous binary and in aqueous-urea ternary systems are discussed in terms of charge, size, and hydrogen bonding effects. Corresponding author.

Apparent Molar Volume and Viscosity Studies on Some Carbohydrates in Solutions

Summary.  The apparent molar volume (φ_v) and viscosity (η) of L(+)-arabinose, D(+)-galactose, D(−)-fructose, D(+)-glucose, sucrose, lactose, and maltose in water and in 0.1% and 0.3% water-Surf Excel solutions were measured as a function of solute concentrations at 308.15, 313.15, and 323.15 K, respectively. The apparent molar volume (φ_v) of the carbohydrates was found to be a linear function of the concentration. From a φ_v versus molality (b) plot, the apparent molar volume at infinite dilution (), which is practically equal to the partial molar volume at infinite dilutions () of these substances was determined. The viscosity coefficients B and D for the carbohydrates were calculated on the basis of the viscosity of the solutions and the solvent using the Jones-Dole equation. The activation free energy for viscous flow (ΔG ^≠) of the solutions was also calculated using the Eyring equation. The carbohydrates showed structure making behaviour both in water and in water-Surf Excel solutions. When water-Surf Excel solutions and pure water solutions containing carbohydrate molecules are compared, the former were found to be more structured. The behaviour of these solutes in water and in water-Surf Excel solution systems is discussed in the light of solute–solvent interactions. Corresponding author.

Measurements of density(ρ), viscosity(η), and refractive index(n), were carried out on α-amino acids, DL-solution at 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, and 313.15 K. These measurements have been carried out to evaluate some important parameters, viz., apparent molar volume (φv), partial molar volume (φv0), transfer volume (φ0v (tr)), viscosity A and B coefficients of Jones-Dole equation, free energies of activation per mole of solvent (△μ0#1) and solute (△μ0#2),enthalpies (△H*) and entropies (△S*) of activation of viscous flow, variation of B with temperature ((a)B/(a)T)P, and molar refractive index (RD). These parameters have been interpreted in terms of solute-solute and solute-solvent interactions and structure making/breaking ability of solutes in the given solution.

Volumetric,Viscosity and Self-Diffusion Coefficient Studies of [18-Crown-6:M]A Complexed Species in Water at 298.15 K

Density and viscosity measurements were made for aqueous solutions of electrolytes containing 18-crown-6 (18C6) at 298.15 K. A method is proposed to extract the volumetric and viscosity data of the [18C6:M]A complexed species in aqueous solutions from ternary mixtures using the thermodynamic equilibrium constant values at 298.15 K. The apparent molar volume of the [18C6:M]A complexed species have been estimated for these binary solutions. Further, the viscosity data thus obtained were subjected to analysis using the Jones-Dole equation to get viscosity A- and B-coefficients of complexed ions in water. The hydration number and molecular radius of the hydrated complexes in water have been estimated. It was observed that hydration of the complexed ion is strongly influenced by the charge density of the metal ions in the complexed state. The self-diffusion coefficient and correlation time values for the complexes in water were calculated using viscosity data, which indicated that diffusion of complexed species was faster than that of the host ligand 18C6 (D_3d structural entity) in water at 298.15 K. It was suggested that the ionic radii estimated in this work for large hydrophobic cations can be of use in studying electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions especially in aqueous solutions.     

Viscometric and volumetric studies on binary mixtures of 1,2-dichloroethane and chlorinated methanes or their binary equimolar mixtures at 303.15 K

Excess viscosities, η^E and molar excess volumes V^E were obtained for binary mixtures of 1,2-dichloroethane and chlorinated methanes and for pseudobinary mixtures of 1,2-dichloroethane and equimolar binary mixtures from chlorinated methanes at 303.15 K. The chlorinated methanes include carbon tetrachloride, chloroform and dichloromethane. Grunberg—Nissan interaction parameter d and interaction energy for flow of activation W_vis were also presented. The relationship between the η^E's and the V^E's has been quantitively considered using Singh's equations. The excess viscosities for all the systems are negative over the entire compositions. There are specific interactions between 1,2-dichloroethane and chlorinated methanes, but the specific interactions are not strong. The interactions of 1,2-dichloroethane with chlorinated methanes decrease in the order: chloroform > dichloromethane > carbon tetrachloride. ‘Pseudochloroform’ has been defined by us for the first time as the equimolar mixture of dichloromethane and carbon tetrachloride.     

Volumetric and Viscometric Studies in Binary Liquid Mixtures of 2-Methyl-2-propanol with Some Ketones at Different Temperatures

The interaction between the component molecules follows the order of AP > AC > EMK.

Volumetric and viscosity studies of interactions between sodium phosphate salts and poly(propylene glycol) 400 in aqueous solutions at different temperatures

Density and sound velocity at the 288.15–313.15 K and viscosity at the 298.15–313.15 K temperature range at 5 K intervals for polypropylene glycol (PPG) in aqueous solutions of sodium di-hydrogen phosphate, di-sodium hydrogen phosphate and tri-sodium phosphate with salt mass fractions 0.00, 0.010 and 0.020 are reported at atmospheric pressure. From the experimental density and sound velocity data, the apparent specific volume, excess specific volume, isentropic compressibility and isentropic compressibility deviation values have been determined. The infinite dilution apparent specific volume and isentropic compressibility values of PPG have been obtained and from which the infinite dilution apparent specific volumes of transfer of PPG from water to aqueous sodium phosphate solutions have been obtained for the investigated salt concentrations and temperatures. The excess specific volume, isentropic compressibility and viscosity deviation are negative and decrease in magnitude as temperature, concentration of sodium phosphate and charge on the anion of electrolyte increases.

Volumetric Study of the Interaction Between Chloride Salts and Polyvinylpyrrolidone in Aqueous Solution

We are interested in polyvinylpyrrolidone as an analog for the D-state proteins. In a volumetric study, the interactions between polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and sodium-, potassium-, calcium-, and tetrabutylammonium chloride at 35°C in a series of aqueous PVP solutions over a concentration range of PVP up to 20 wt.% was performed. The volumes of transfer at infinite dilution _tr V ₂ ⁰ from water to the PVP solutions were determined for the salts; their decreasing order showed a parallel relation to the Hoffmeister series. The _tr V ₂ ⁰ data were analyzed by applying the McMillan–Mayer method to obtain the volumetric interaction coefficients between the ions and the polymer unit.     

Volumetric Properties for the Electrolyte (NaCl,NaBr and NaI) Monosaccharide (D‐Mannose and D‐Ribose)‐Water Systems at 298.15 K

Densities have been measured for the electrolyte (NaCl, NaBr and NaI)‐monosaccharide (D ‐mannose and D‐ribose)‐water solutions at 298.15 K. These data have been used to calculate the apparent molar volumes of the saccharides (V_Φ,S) and electrolytes (V_Φ,E) in the studied solutions. Infinite dilution apparent molar volumes, V_Φ,S⁰ and V_Φ,E⁰, have been evaluated, together with the standard transfer volumes of the saccharides (Δ_tV_S⁰) from water to aqueous electrolyte solutions and those of the electrolytes (Δ_tV_E⁰) from water to aqueous saccharide solutions. It was shown that both the Δ_tV_S⁰ and Δ_tV_E⁰ values are positive and increase with increasing molalities of sodium halides and saccharides, respectively. Overall, the Δ_tV_S⁰ and Δ_tV_E⁰ values have the order of NaCl > NaBr > NaI except for NaI‐ribose and NaI‐ribose. Volumetric interaction parameters for the electrolyte‐monosaccharide pairs in water were obtained and interpreted by the stereochemistry of the monosaccharide molecules and the structural interaction model.

Physicochemical and Engineering Problems in Studies on Plasma–Solution Systems

The example of an atmospheric-pressure glow discharge with an electrolytic cathode was used to show a significant role of the processes of transfer of solution components to the plasma zone, which were induced by ion bombardment of the surface of the solution. These processes not only determine the chemical composition of the plasma zone but also initiate redox reactions in the gas phase. In turn, the gas discharge alters the properties of the solution, in particular, its acidity, interfering with liquid-phase chemical reactions.     

Volumetric studies and thermodynamics of viscous flow of hydroxamic acids in acetone + water solvent at temperatures 303.15 and 313.15 K

Densities ρ and viscosities η of two hydroxamic acids, N-phenyl-2-chlorobenzo- and N-o-tolyl-4-chlorobenzo-, have been determined as a function of their concentration in aqueous acetone solution at temperatures 303.15 and 313.15 K. Apparent molar volumes, standard-state partial molar volumes and relative viscosities have been calculated. The viscosity data have been analyzed using Jones-Dole equation. The activation thermodynamic parameters of viscous flow have been evaluated using Feakins equation. These were obtained to throw light on the mechanism of viscous flow. Thermodynamic interactions in solutions have been studied in terms of a number of excess functions calculated from the experimental data. The effect of hydroxamic acid concentration and temperature on these parameters has been discussed. The results were interpreted in the light of solute-solvent interactions in aquo-organic media.
