The solubilities of ( m₁NaCl  + m₂Na₂ CrO ₄)(aq) and ( m₁KCl  + m₂ K ₂CrO ₄)(aq) where m denotes molality have been investigated at the temperature T =  298.15 K by the physico-chemical analysis method. Only the crystallization of the simple salts NaCl, Na ₂CrO ₄·4H ₂O, KCl, and K ₂CrO ₄have been established. The ternary solutions have been simulated thermodynamically at T =  298.15 K using the Pitzer model. The necessary thermodynamic parameters (binary and ternary ion-interaction parameters, thermodynamic solubility products) have been calculated and the theoretical solubility isotherms plotted. A very good agreement is found between calculated and experimental solubility isotherms. The standard molar Gibbs energies of formationΔ_rG_m^o of solid phases crystallizing in the systems under consideration have been estimated from theory.     

Ultrasonic study on some monosaccharides in aqueous media at 298.15 K

The ultrasonic velocity (U), density (ρ) and viscosity (η) at 298.15 K have been measured in the binary systems of monosaccharides (glucose, fructose and galactose) in aqueous medium. The acoustical parameters such as adiabatic compressibility (β), free length (L_f), free volume (V_f), internal pressure (π_i), acoustical impedance (Z), relative association (R_A), molar sound velocity (R) and molar sound compressibility (W) are calculated. The results are interpreted in terms of molecular interaction between the components of the mixtures.     

Thermodynamic and optical studies of some ethylene glycol ethers in aqueous solutions at T = 298.15 K

Experimental results of density (ρ), speed of sound (u), and refractive index (n_D) have been obtained for aqueous solutions of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGMME), ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGMEE), diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DEGMME), and diethylene glycol monoethyl ether (DEGMEE) over the entire concentration range at T = 298.15 K. From these measurements, the derived parameters, apparent molar volume of solute (?_V), excess molar volume (V^E), isentropic compressibility of solution (β_S), apparent molar isentropic compressibility of solute (?_KS), deviation in isentropic compressibility (Δβ_S), molar refraction [R]_1,2 and deviation in refractive index of solution (Δn_D) have been calculated. The Redlich–Kister equation has been fitted to the calculated values of V^E, Δβ_S and Δn_D for the solution. The results obtained are interpreted in terms of hydrogen bonding and various interactions among solute and solvent molecules.

Diffusion of sodium alginate in aqueous solutions at T = 298.15 K

Taylor dispersion technique was used for measuring mutual diffusion coefficients of sodium alginate aqueous solutions at T = 298.15 K, by using as carrier stream solution both pure water and solutions of this polyelectrolyte at a slightly different concentration. The limiting values found at infinitesimal ionic strength, D⁰, were determined by extrapolating to c → 0. These studies were complemented by molecular mechanics calculations. From the experimental data, it was possible to estimate both the limiting conductivity and the tracer diffusion coefficient values for the alginate anion, and the hydrodynamic radius of the sodium alginate (NaC₆H₇O₆), as well as to discuss the influence of the kinetic, thermodynamic and viscosity factors on the diffusion of sodium alginate in aqueous solutions at finite concentrations. Thus, the aim of our innovative research is to contribute to a better understanding of the structure and the thermodynamic behavior of these polymeric systems in solution and supplying the scientific and technological communities with data on these important parameters in solution transport processes.     

Thermodynamic properties of chiral fenchones in some solutions at T = 298.15 K

Excess enthalpies for binary mixtures (S-fenchone + ethanol/benzene/cyclohexane/carbon tetrachloride) were measured over the whole concentration at T = 298.15 K. The experimental results were compared with the values obtained from the UNIFAC, COSMO-RS and regular solution theory. Excess enthalpies of binary mixtures of R-fenchone and S-fenchone in ethanol, benzene, and cyclohexane solution at different specified mole fractions of fenchone have been measured under the same conditions. With the decreasing of the specified mole fraction of fenchone in different solutions, the excess enthalpies of mixing of chiral orientated solutions increased and became close to zero. Results were compared with those of chiral limonene in ethanol solution. Pair interaction energies were also investigated.     

Density and activity of pertechnetic acid aqueous solutions at T = 298.15 K

The previous isopiestic investigations of HTcO₄ aqueous solutions at T = 298.15 K are believed to be unreliable, because of the formation of a ternary mixture at high molality. Consequently, published isopiestic molalities for aqueous HTcO₄ solutions at T = 298.15 K were completed and corrected. Binary data (variation of the osmotic coefficient and activity coefficient of the electrolyte in solution in the water) at T = 298.15 K for pertechnetic acid HTcO₄ were determined by direct water activity measurements. These measurements extend from molality m = 1.4 mol · kg⁻¹ to m = 8.32 mol · kg⁻¹. The variation of the osmotic coefficient of this acid in water is represented mathematically. Density variations at T = 298.15 K are also established and used to express the activity coefficient values on both the molar and molal concentration scale. The density law leads to the partial molar volume variations for aqueous HTcO₄ solutions at T = 298.15 K, which are compared with published data.     

Thermodynamic study of the mixed system (CsCl + CaCl2 + H2O) by EMF Measurements at T = 298.15 K

This work reports the results of a thermodynamic investigation of the ternary mixed-electrolyte system (CsCl + CaCl₂ + H₂O). The activity coefficients of this mixed aqueous electrolyte system have been studied with the electromotive force measurement (EMF) of the cell: Cs ion-selective electrode (ISE)|CsCl(m_A), CaCl₂(m_B), H₂O|Ag/AgCl at T = 298.15 K and over total ionic strengths from (0.01 to 1.50) mol · kg^?1 for different ionic strength fractions y_B of CaCl₂ with y_B = (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8). The cesium ion-selective electrode (Cs-ISE) and the Ag/AgCl electrode used in this work were made in our laboratory and had a good Nernst response. The experimental results obey the Harned rule, and the Pitzer model can be used to describe this ternary system satisfactorily. The osmotic coefficients, excess Gibbs free energies and activities of water of the mixtures were also calculated.     

Solubilities of imidazolium-based ionic liquids in aqueous salt solutions at 298.15 K

The solubilities of ionic liquids in the ternary systems (ionic liquid + H₂O + inorganic salt) were reported at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure. The examined ionic liquids are [C₄mim][PF₆] (1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate), [C₈mim][PF₆] (1-n-octyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate), and [C₈mim][BF₄] (1-n-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate). The examined inorganic salts are the chloride-based salts (sodium chloride, lithium chloride, potassium chloride, and magnesium chloride) and the sodium-based salts (sodium thiocyanate, sodium nitrate, sodium trifluoroacetate, sodium bromide, sodium iodide, sodium perchlorate, sodium acetate, sodium hydroxide, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, sodium phosphate, sodium tetrafluoroborate, sodium sulfate, and sodium carbonate). The effects of the cations and the anions of the ionic liquids and of the inorganic salts on the solubility of the ionic liquids in the ternary solutions were systematically compared and discussed.     

Enthalpies of solution of glycylglycine and diglycylglycine in aqueous alcohols at 298.15 K

The integral enthalpies of solution of glycylglycine and diglycylglycine in water–ethanol, water–n-propanol and water–i-propanol mixtures were measured at 298.15 K and alcohol mole fraction concentrations (x₂) ranging up to 0.3 by calorimetry. The Δ_solH° and Δ_trH° vs. x₂ were found to have extrema. Enthalpic coefficients of pairwise interactions (h_xy) between peptide and alcohol molecules were positive and increased in the series ethanol, n-propanol, i-propanol.     

Diffusion coefficients of nickel chloride in aqueous solutions of lactose at T = 298.15 K and T = 310.15 K

Binary mutual diffusion coefficients (interdiffusion coefficients) of nickel chloride in water at T = 298.15 K and T = 310.15 K, and at concentrations between (0.000 and 0.100) mol · dm^?3, using a Taylor dispersion method have been measured. These data are discussed on the basis of the Onsager–Fuoss and Pikal models. The equivalent conductance at infinitesimal concentration of the nickel ion in these solutions at T = 310.15 K has been estimated using these results. Through the same technique, ternary mutual diffusion coefficients (D₁₁, D₂₂, D₁₂, and D₂₁) for aqueous solutions containing NiCl₂ and lactose, at T = 298.15 K and T = 310.15 K, and at different carrier concentrations were also measured. These data permit us to have a better understanding of the structure of these systems and the thermodynamic behaviour of NiCl₂ in different media.     

Thermodynamic study of (heptane + amine) mixtures. II. Excess and partial molar volumes at 298.15 K

Excess molar volumes V^E at 298.15 K were determined by means of a vibrating tube densimeter for binary mixtures of heptane + primary n-alkyl (C₃ to C₁₀) and branched amines (iso-propyl-, iso-, sec-, and tert-butyl-, iso-, tert-pentyl-, and pentan-3-amine) in the whole composition range. The apparent molar volumes of solid dodecyl- and tetradecylamine in heptane dilute solution were also determined. The V^E values were found positive for mixtures involving C₃ to C₈ linear amines, with V^E decreasing with chain lengthening. Heptane + nonyl and decylamine showed s-shaped, markedly asymmetric, curves. Mixtures with branched C₃ to C₅ amines displayed positive V^E’s larger than those observed in the mixtures of the corresponding linear isomers. Partial molar volumes V° at infinite dilution in heptane were evaluated for the examined amines and compared with those of alkanes and alkanols taken from the literature. An additivity scheme, based on the intrinsic volume approach, was applied to estimate group (CH₃, CH₂, CH, C, NH₂, and OH) contributions to V°. The effect of branching on V° and the limiting slope of the apparent excess molar volumes were evaluated and discussed in terms of solute–solvent and solute–solute interactions.     

Effect of hydrolysis on the diffusion of ferric sulphate in aqueous solutions at T = 298.15 K

Diffusion coefficients of the Fe₂(SO₄)₃)/water system at T = 298.15 K and at concentrations between 0.050 mol · dm⁻³ and 0.200 mol · dm⁻³ have been measured, using a conductimetric cell and an automatic apparatus to follow diffusion. The cell uses an open-ended capillary method. A conductimetric technique is used to follow the diffusion process by measuring the resistance of a solution inside the capillaries at recorded times. These data are discussed on the basis of the Onsager–Fuoss model. The diffusion of Fe₂(SO₄)₃ is clearly affected by the Fe (III) hydrolysis. These data permit us to have a better understanding of the structure of such systems and the thermodynamic behaviour of ferric sulphate in different media.
