Solid-Solute Phase Equilibria in Aqueous Solution. XII. Solubility and Thermal Decomposition of Smithsonite

The solubility constant of ZnCO₃, smithsonite, in aqueous NaClO₄ solutions hasbeen investigated as a function of temperature (288.15 T/K 338.15) atconstant ionic strength I = 1.00 mol-kg^–1. In addition, the solubility of zinccarbonate has been determined at 2.00 and 3.00 mol-kg^–1 NaClO₄ (298.15 K).The solubility measurements have been evaluated by applying the Daviesapproximation, the specific ion-interaction theory, and the Pitzer model, respectively.The thermodynamic interpretation leads to an internally consistent set ofthermodynamic data for ZnCO₃ (298.15 K): solubility constant log*K _p50 ⁰ = 7.25 ± 0.10,standard Gibbs energy of formation _i G (ZnCO₃) = (–777.3±0.6)kJ-mol^–1, standard enthalphy of formation _f H (ZnCO₃)= (–820.2±3.0) kJ-mol^–1,and standard entropy S (ZnCO₃) = (77±10)J-mol^–1 K.^–1. Furthermore, the DSCcurve for the thermal decarbonation of zinc carbonate has been recorded in orderto obtain the enthalpy of formation _fH (ZnCO₃) =(–820.2±2.0) from theheat of decomposition. Finally, our results are also consistent within theexperimental error limits with a recent determination of the standard entropy ofsmithsonite, leading to a recommended set of thermodynamic properties of ZnCO₃:      

Paradigms and Paradoxes: The Solubility of AgCl in Water: Some Thermochemical Issues of Aqueous Ag+ Ion

It is well established in the pedagogical literature that AgCl is insoluble in water while NaCl and KCl are soluble: applications of this difference are made in elementary studies of both qualitative and quantitative analysis. What is usually left unsaid, however, is why AgCl is so much less soluble than NaCl or KCl. This brief note addresses this issue in terms of the thermochemistry of these three metal chlorides and constituent ions as found in their solid salts, aqueous solutions and gaseous diatomic molecules.

Excess Gibbs Energy of Mixing for Organic Carbonates from Fitting of Their Binary Phase Diagrams with Nonideal Solution Models

The excess Gibbs energies of mixing in the liquid state were evaluated for all the ten binary combinations of these five organic carbonates: ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate (DMC), ethyl methyl carbonate, and diethyl carbonate by fitting their measured binary phase diagrams with thermodynamic nonideal solution models based on the regular solution model. Using the results of these model fits, activity coefficients of the components in the solvent mixtures were calculated for the binary series containing EC and DMC as the common component, and the composition-averaged excess Gibbs energies of mixing were calculated by integrating the energy in the whole composition range for all the binaries. The results showed the excess Gibbs energy of mixing, and therefore the intermolecular forces, to be responsible for the changes in the phase diagrams, in the activity coefficients, and in the composition-averaged excess energy for the different binary solution combinations.

Thermodynamic Study of the Aqueous Rubidium and Manganese Bromide System

Crystallization of 2RbBr · MnBr₂ · 2H₂O, the only double salt obtained under standard conditions from saturated aqueous rubidium–manganese bromide solutions, was theoretically predicted using the hard and soft Lewis acids and bases concept and Pauling's rules. The RbBr—MnBr₂—H₂O system was thermodynamically simulated by the Pitzer model assuming a solubility diagram of three branches only: RbBr, 2RbBr · MnBr₂ · 2H₂O and MnBr₂ · 4H₂O. The theoretical result was experimentally proved at 25°C by the physicochemical analysis method and formation of the new double salt 2RbBr · MnBr₂ · 2H₂O was established. It was found to crystallize in a triclinic crystal system, space group –P1, a = 5.890(1) Å, b = 6.885(1) Å, c = 7.367(2) Å, = 66.01(1)°, = 87.78(2)°, = 84.93(2)°, V = 271.8(1) ų, Z = 1, D _x = 3.552 g-cm^–3. The binary and ternary ion interaction parameters were calculated and the solubility isotherm was plotted. The standard molar Gibbs energy of the synthesis reaction, _rG _m ^o , of the double salt 2RbBr · MnBr₂ · 2H₂O from the corresponding simple salts RbBr and MnBr₂ · 4H₂O, as well as the standard molar Gibbs energy of formation, _fG _m ^o , and standard molar enthalpy of formation _fH _m ^o of the simple and double salts were calculated.

Thermodynamic Functions of Molecular Inclusion of Some Isomers of Butanediol in Gas Phase Into α- and β-cyclodextrin Cavities in Aqueous Solutions at 298.15 K

The enthalpies, entropies and Gibbs energies of inclusion of dl-1,3-, 1,4- and meso-2,3-butanediols into α- and β-cyclodextrin cavities from ideal gas phase have been determined on the basis of newly obtained experimental data of the butanediols. The butanediol molecules are stabilised strongly in the cavities due to interactions with inner walls of the cavities. Entropies of the gaseous isomers are greatly decreased in the cavities. The largest decrease is obtained for the case of 2,3-BD. Discussions concerning the1,4-butanediol given in the preceding paper have been changed due to the adoption of new data on the butanediols.

Thermodynamics of the reaction between poly-1,1,2-trichlorobuta-1,3-diene and poly(ethylene imine) to form interpolymer

Thermodynamic parameters of the interpolymer reaction between poly-1,1,2-trichlorobuta1,3-diene and poly(ethylene imine) giving a polymer-polymer compound (incorporating the starting components in a molar ratio of 1 : 2) have been determined by calorimetry. The enthalpy (H°_m), entropy (S°_m), and Gibbs function (G°_m) for this reaction are negative over the whole temperature range studied. The enthalpy of the reaction in chloroform at 298.15 K is about two times smaller, due to the difference in the enthalpies of dissolution of the starting polymers and the enthalpy of swelling of the interpolymer in the same solvent. The glass transition temperature of the interpolymer lies between those of the starting polymers and coincides with the value calculated from the Fox equation. The heat capacity of the interpolymer is smaller than additive values calculated fromC _p ^° of the starting polymers. From the experimentally determinedC _p ^° for the polymers, the thermodynamic functionsC _p ^° (T),H°(T) – H°(O), andS°(T) were calculated for the 0–330 K temperature range, and their configurational entropiesS _c ^° were estimated.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The solubilization of alcohols in micellar solutions

The specific conductivities of dodecyldimethylbenzylammonium bromide (C12BBr) have been determined in aqueous butanol and aqueous benzyl alcohol solutions in the temperature range of 5-40°C. From these data the temperature dependent critical micelle concentration (cmc) was determined. The molar fraction of alcohol in the micelle was estimated using the theory suggested by Motomura et al. for surfactant binary mixtures. The thermal properties such as standard Gibbs free energy, enthalpy and entropy of solubilization of alcohols in the micelles were estimated for the phase separation model. The change in heat capacity upon solubilization of alcohol in the micelle has been estimated form the above properties.

Specific conductivity of aqueous solutions of dodecyldimethylethylammonium bromide has been determined in the temperature range of 15-40°C. The critical micelle concentration (cmc) and ionization degree of the micelles, b, were determined from the data. Thermodynamic functions, such as standard Gibbs free energy, ΔG _m°, enthalpy, ΔG _m°, and entropy, ΔG _m°, of micellization, were estimated by assuming that the system conforms to the mass action model. The change in heat capacity upon micellization, ΔG _m°, was estimated from the temperature dependence of ΔG _m°. An enthalpy-entropy compensation phenomenom for the studied system has been found.

Calculation of the Vapour Pressure of Organic Molecules by Means of a Group-Additivity Method and Their Resultant Gibbs Free Energy and Entropy of Vaporization at 298.15 K

The calculation of the vapour pressure of organic molecules at 298.15 K is presented using a commonly applicable computer algorithm based on the group-additivity method. The basic principle of this method rests on the complete breakdown of the molecules into their constituting atoms, further characterized by their immediate neighbour atoms. The group contributions are calculated by means of a fast Gauss–Seidel fitting algorithm using the experimental data of 2036 molecules from literature. A ten-fold cross-validation procedure has been carried out to test the applicability of this method, which confirmed excellent quality for the prediction of the vapour pressure, expressed in log(pa), with a cross-validated correlation coefficient Q² of 0.9938 and a standard deviation σ of 0.26. Based on these data, the molecules’ standard Gibbs free energy ΔG°_vap has been calculated. Furthermore, using their enthalpies of vaporization, predicted by an analogous group-additivity approach published earlier, the standard entropy of vaporization ΔS°_vap has been determined and compared with experimental data of 1129 molecules, exhibiting excellent conformance with a correlation coefficient R² of 0.9598, a standard error σ of 8.14 J/mol/K and a medium absolute deviation of 4.68%.

Thermodynamics of glycine solution in aqueous urea. Rule \sqrt m

The solution heats of glycine in aqueous urea have been determined by calorimetry at 298 K (molality 0–13) and 313 K (molality 0–22). The solution heat of the amino acid is described by the linear dependence of this quantity on the square root of the urea molality. The enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs energy of the transfer of glycine from water to aqueous urea, as well as the heat capacity, entropy variation, and Gibbs energy of glycine solution have been calculated for the temperature range 273–323 K. It is found that urea additions to water reverse the sign of the heat capacity of solution.
