Isopiestic vapor-pressure measurements were made for Li₂SO₄(aq) from 0.1069 to 2.8190 mol?kg^?1 at 298.15 K, and from 0.1148 to 2.7969 mol?kg^?1 at 323.15 K, with NaCl(aq) as the reference standard.

A kinetic study of the oxidation of L-ascorbic acid by chromium(VI)

The reaction between chromium(VI) and L-ascorbic acid has been studied by spectrophotometry in the presence of aqueous citrate buffers in the pH range 5.69–7.21. The reaction is slowed down by an increase of the ionic strength. At constant ionic strength, manganese(II) ion does not exert any appreciable inhibition effect on the reaction rate. The rate law found is where K_p is the equilibrium constant for protonation of chromate ion and k_r is the rate constant for the redox reaction between the active forms of the oxidant (hydrogenchromate ion) and the reductant (L-hydrogenascorbate ion). The activation parameters associated with rate constant k_r are E_a = 20.4 ± 0.9 kJ mol^?1, ΔH^≠ = 17.9 ± 0.9 kJ mol^?1, and ΔS^≠=?152 ± 3 J K^?1 mol^?1. The reaction thermodynamic magnitudes associated with equilibrium constant K_p are ΔH⁰ = 16.5 ± 1.1 kJ mol^?1 and ΔS⁰ = 167 ± 4 J K^?1 mol^?1. A mechanism in accordance with the experimental data is proposed for the reaction. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Thermodynamics of the conversion of aqueous glucose to fructose

The thermodynamics of the conversion of aqueous glucose to fructose has been investigated using both heat conduction microcalorimetry and high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). The reaction was carried out in both aqueous TRIS/HCl buffer and in aqueous phosphate buffer in the pH range 7 to 8 using the enzyme glucose isomerase and the cofactors CoCl₂ and MgSO₄. The temperature range over which this reaction was investigated was 298.15 to 358.15 K (25–85°C). We have found that the enthalpy of reaction is independent of pH over the range 7 to 8. A combined analysis of both the HPLC and microcalorimetric data leads to the following results at 25°C: ΔG^o=349±53 J-mol^?1, ΔH^o=2780±200 J-mol^?1, and ΔC _p ^o =76±30 J-mol^?1-K^?1. The stated uncertainties are based upon an analysis of both the random and systematic errors inherent in the measurements. The temperature dependence of the equilibrium constant K for the process is expressed as $$RinK = - \frac{{349}}{{298.15}} + 2780(\frac{1}{{298.15}} - \frac{1}{T}) + 76(\frac{{298.15}}{T} - 1 + \ln \frac{T}{{298.15}})$$ Comparisons are made with literature data.
