Effect of charge on the standard partial molar volumes and heat capacities of organic electrolytes in methanol and water

Previously developed additivity schemes for nonelectrolytes have been used to estimate and for tetraalkyl and tetraphenyl methanes in methanol and water. Corrections have been applied to the thermodynamic values of these model compounds to account for a variation in size of the central atom, and these were used to ascertain the effect of charge on and of alkyl and phenyl quaternary ions having N, P and B as central atoms. Investigations of R₄NBr, (R=methyl to heptyl) salts show that the charge effect on and of R₄N⁺ ions is large and relatively independent of ion size suggesting that the solvent molecules penetrate the ions. The ability to estimate and of the quaternary ions in the bromide salt solutions has made it possible to make ionic assignments with some confidence; (Br^–) has been evaluated as 19.7±2 and 30.2±7 cm³-mol^–1 and (Br^–) as –83±7 and –68±30 J-K^–1-mol^–1 in methanol and water, respectively. The use of organic ions for making ionic assignments of and is critically examined and comparisons with other assignments are made. The scaled particle theory is employed to divide the heat capacities of electrolytes into cavity and interaction contributions.     

Synthesis and thermal evolution of TiO2-RuO2 xerogels

Gels of the Ti Ru O system, where , 0.001, 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 (mol), have been synthesized by a polymeric sol-gel route from Ti (IV)-iso-propoxide and Ru (III) acetyl-acetonate (acac). The mechanisms of the hydrolysis and polycondensation reactions were studied by using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The evolution of the xerogels as a function of temperature was also determined. At temperatures, as low as 200°C, mixtures of antase Ti Ru O (Ass) solid solution and rutile Ti Ru O solid solution (Rss) were attained for compositions with 0.3. For , only the anatase phase is present (A) and for , mixtures of anatase Ti Ru O (Ass) solid solution, rutile Ti Ru O solid solution (Rss) and Ru Ti O (RuO ss) solid solution were attained. RuO catalyzes the anatase to rutile transformation, even at RuO contents as low as 0.001 mol. Although, from 300 to 400°C the solid solubility of RuO into rutile-TiO phase is located at , from 500°C that value is located in the 0.05 range. This fact could be due to the metastability of the rutile solid solutions containing ruthenium oxide above 400°C. According to semiquantitative transmission electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (TEM-EDX) analyses, at 700°C, there are compositional variations in both solid solutions, Rss and RuO ss. Thus, the system is chemically heterogeneous. The amount of Ti ions hosted into the RuO lattice in the solid solution is lower than that of Ru ions into the rutile-TiO lattice. At this temperature, the contents of these solid solutions are mol% RuO into the TiO lattice (the maximum value found) and around 8.0 mol% TiO (the maximum value found) into RuO . The RuO volatilization can promote the segregation of the ruthenium oxide giving rise to the heterogeneity and the metastability observed in this system.     

Densities and Volumetric Properties of Binary Mixtures of Formamide with 1-Butanol, 2-Butanol, 1,3-Butanediol and 1,4-Butanediol at Temperatures between 293.15 and 318.15 K

The densities of binary mixtures of formamide (FA) with 1-butanol, 2-butanol, 1,3-butanediol, and 1,4-butanediol, including those of the pure liquids, over the entire composition range were measured at temperatures (293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, 313.15 and 318.15) K and atmospheric pressure. From the experimental data, the excess molar volume, V _m ^E, partial molar volumes, and , at infinite dilution, and excess partial molar volumes, and , at infinite dilution were calculated. The variation of these parameters with composition and temperature of the mixtures are discussed in terms of molecular interactions in these mixtures. The partial molar expansivities, and , at infinite dilution and excess partial molar expansivities, and , at infinite dilution were also calculated. The V _m ^E values were found to be positive for all the mixtures at each temperature studied, except for FA + 1-butanol which exhibits a sigmoid trend wherein V _m ^E values change sign from positive to negative as the concentration of FA in the mixture is increased. The V _m ^E values for these mixtures follow the order: 1-butanol < 2-butanol < 1,3-butanediol < 1,4-butanediol. It is observed that the V _m ^E values depend upon the number and position of hydroxyl groups in these alkanol molecules.     

Volumetric Properties of Binary Mixtures of Acetonitrile and Chloroalkanes at 25°C and Atmospheric Pressure

Excess molar volumes for binary mixtures of acetonitrile + dichloromethane, acetonitrile + trichloromethane, and acetonitrile + tetracloromethane at 25°C have been used to calculate partial molar volumes , excess partial molar volumes , and apparent molar volumes of each component as a function of composition. The V _m ^Evalues are negative over the entire composition range for the systems studied. The applicability of the Prigogine–Flory–Patterson theory was explored. The agreement between theoretical and experimental results is satisfactory for the systems with dichloromethane and tetrachloromethane. For the unsymmetrical behavior of the system with trichloromethane, however, the agreement is poor.     

Thermodynamic Properties of Aqueous Dimethylamine and Dimethylammonium Chloride at Temperatures from 283 K to 523 K: Apparent Molar Volumes, Heat Capacities, and Temperature Dependence of Ionization

Data for the apparent molar volumes of aqueous dimethylamine and dimethylammonium chloride have been determined with platinum vibrating tube densimeters at temperatures 283.15 K T 523.15 K and at different pressures. Apparent molar heat capacities were measured with a Picker flow microcalorimeter over the temperature range 283.15 K T 343.15 K at 1 bar. At high temperatures and steam saturation pressures, the standard partial molar volumes of dimethylamine and dimethylammonium chloride deviate towards positive and negative discontinuities at the critical temperature and pressure, as is typical for many neutral and ionic species. The revised Helgeson-Kirkham-Flowers (HKF) model and fitting equations based on the appropriate derivatives of solvent density have been used to represent the temperature and pressure dependence of the standard partial molar properties. The standard partial molar heat capacities of dimethylamine ionization , calculated from both models, are consistent with literature data obtained by calorimetric measurements at T 398 K to within experimental error. At temperatures below 523 K, the standard partial molar volumes of dimethylamine ionization agree with those of morpholine to within 12 cm³-mol^-1, suggesting that the ionization of secondary amine groups in each molecule is very similar. The extrapolated value for of dimethylamine above 523 K is very different from the values measured for morpholine at higher temperature. The difference is undoubtedly due to the lower critical temperature and pressure of (CH₃)₂NH(aq).     

Effect of solvent on the partial molal volumes and heat capacities of nonelectrolytes

Group contributions to in seven solvents and to in three solvents have been tabulated. The variation of group parameters is discussed in terms of the solvent compressibility coefficient, _T. The scaled particle theory (SPT) is used to calculate cavity contributions to and C _p2 ^o . Interaction contributions are obtained from the cavity terms and and values estimated through the additivity schemes. values are more sensitive to solute-solvent interactions than in water and less sensitive in methanol. The SPT results for heat capacities support the concept of structural promotion by hydrophobic solutes in water.     

Modeling of Thermodynamic Properties of Amino Acids and Peptides Using Additivity and HKF Theory

Relative densities, , and heat capacity ratios, of aqueous L-histidine, L-phenylalanine, L-tyrosine, L-tryptophan, and L-2,3-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-dopa) have been measured at 15, 25, 40, and 55°C and 0.1 MPa. Apparent molar volumes, V _2,, apparent molar heat capacities, C_P2,, partial molar volumes at infinite dilution, , and partial molar heat capacities at infinite dilution, , have been calculated from these measurements and compared to available literature values. The partial molar properties at infinite dilution for these systems have been added to those previously obtained for amino acids and peptides in water and the combined set used as input to a novel additivity analysis. The model we develop is based upon the equations of state of Helgeson, Kirkham, and Flowers (HKF) and has been constructed with additive parameters. The model may be used to predict thermodynamic properties of many aqueous biochemicals over an extended temperature range. Group contributions to the parameters in our model and effective Born coefficients are reported for 24 aqueous amino acid and peptide systems. Our results are compared to data previously published in the literature.     

Partial molar heat capacities and volumes of transfer of nucleic acid bases,nucleosides and nucleotides from water to aqueous solutions of sodium and calcium chloride at 25°C

Partial molar heat capacities and volumes of some nucleic acid bases, nucleosides and nucleotides have been measured in 1m aqueous NaCl and CaCl₂ solutions using Picker flow microcalorimeter and a vibrating tube digital densimeter. The partial molar heat capacities of transfer and volumes of transfer from water to the electrolyte solutions were calculated using earlier data for these compounds in water. The values of these transfer parameters are positive. The higher values for transfer to aqueous CaCl₂ solutions reflect the stronger interactions of the constituents of the nucleic acids with Ca⁺² ions than with the Na⁺ ions.     

Volumetric properties of cyclic hydrocarbons in tetrachloromethane at 25°C

By means of a vibrating-tube densimeter, the densities at 25°C have been determined for binary mixtures of tetrachloromethane with a liquid (cyclodecane, cis-decahydronaphthalene, trans-decahydronaphthalene, bicyclohexyl, pentane) or a solid hydrocarbon (cyclododecane, cyclopentadecane, norbornane, adamantane, octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indene). Excess molar volumes have been obtained in the whole mole fraction range for mixtures containing a liquid hydrocarbon. For solid cycloalkanes, apparent molar volumes have been evaluated in the whole range of miscibility. The partial molar volumes at infinite dilution have been calculated for all examined cycloalkanes and compared with those of n-alkanes. The dependence of upon the size and shape of the ring or cage structure of the solute is discussed. The capability of the Flory theory to reproduce V^E for these mixtures is also tested.

The dependencies of the relative permittivity of over 50 liquids on the pressure P, as , and of some 40 liquids on the (square of the) electric field E at ambient conditions, as were obtained from literature data. The function was fitted to a simple expression in and the compressibility, _T. These data were used to obtain the limiting slope for the partial molar volumes and the electrostriction of electrolytes in various solvents.     

Excess partial molar volumes and thermal expansivities in the water-rich region of aqueous 2-butanone

Excess partial molar volumes of 2-butanone V _m ^E (B) and thermal expansivities _p were measured in the water-rich region of aqueous 2-butanone. The composition derivatives of both quantities showed anomalies at about X _B =0.033 (x _B is the mole fraction of B). showed a step anomaly, while exhibited a peak anomaly. The compositions at which these anomalies occurred match those of the step anomalies observed earlier in and in aqueous 2-butanone. These results are discussed in comparison with those obtained previously for aqueous 2-butoxyethanol.Presented at the Symposium, 76^th CSC Congress, Sherbrooke, Quebec, May 30–June 3, 1993, honoring Professor Donald Patterson on the occasion of his 65^th birthday.     

Synthesis, characterization and chromotropic properties of MnII, CoII, NiII and CuII with bis (acesulfamato) bis ( 3 -methylpyridine) complexes

The novel 3- [M: Mn^II, Co^II, and Ni^II] and 3- complexes (acs: acesulfamate; 3-pic: 3-methylpyridine) have been synthesized and characterized using elemental analyses, magnetic moments, UV–Vis and FT-IR spectra. The thermal behaviour of the complexes was also studied by simultaneous TG, DTG and DTA methods in static air atmosphere. The chromotropic properties of all complexes have been studied using thermal and spectral analysis. While the complexes of Co^II and Ni^II show reversible continuous thermochromism, an irreversible discontinuous thermochromism is observed in the Mn^II and Cu^II) complexes in the solid state. The observed thermochromism in the Mn^II, Co^II and Ni^II complexes is due to the different ligand field strength associated with the deaquation reaction. The solvatochromic behaviour of the complexes is also studied and all anhydrous complexes (except Mn^II) exhibit solvatochromic properties depending on the donor number of the solvent.

Thermodynamic data for nonmesomorphic solutes at infinite dilution in the nematic and isotropic phases of hexylcyanobiphenyl

Infinite dilution solute activity coefficients _o ² , partial molar excess enthalpies and entropies , and partial molar enthalpies ( ) and entropies ( ) of solution, obtained using gas-liquid chromatography (GLC), are reported for thirty nonmesomorphic solutes in the nematic and isotropic phases of p-n-hexyl-p-cyanobiphenyl (6CB). The solutes studied include normal and branched alkanes, alkenes and hexadienes (with some cis and trans isomers), and benzene. The results corroborate earlier studies on other members of the p-n-alkyl-p-cyanobiphenyl homologous series of liquid crystals. The results demonstrate the effect that solute structure (size, shape, flexibility, polarizability and polarity) has on the solution process. Thermodynamic data for the cis and trans isomers of 2-pentene and 2-hexene are examined. A method for the simultaneous examination of the effects of both solute and solvent structures on the solution process is suggested.     

Heat capacity changes for the lonization of aqueous phenols at 25°C

The apparent molal heat capacities have been determined at 25°C for phenol,meta-nitrophenol,para-nitrophenol,meta-cyanophenol, andpara-cyanophenol and the corresponding sodium salts in water at several concentrations. These values have been extrapolated to infinite dilution to provide the values from which the heat capacity changes for the ionization of the aqueous phenols have been calculated. The observed values are virtually identical within experimental error for the phenols studied. The volume data needed to calculate the values from the experimental data are also reported.To whom correspondence should be addressed.     

The standard transported entropy of chloride ion in H2O and D2O

Transported entropies of the chloride ion, , in H₂O and in D₂O at 25°C and at concentrations ranging from 0.001 to 0.04m have been determined from the measurements of the steady-state (final) thermoelectric powers of the silver-silver chloride thermocell. Experimental data was extrapolated to infinite dilution to obtain the standard transported entropy . The concentration dependence of is examined and the solvent-isotope effect on the transported entropy is investigated. Thermodynamic data on the entropy of transfer of chloride ion from H₂O to D₂O is used to estimate the difference of the standard ionic entropy of transport in H₂O and D₂O for chloride ion.     

Comprehensive Investigation of Yttrium and Rare Earth Element Complexation by Carbonate Ions Using ICP–Mass Spectrometry

Carbonate stability constants for yttrium and all rare earth elements have been determined at 25°C and 0.70 molal ionic strength by solvent exchange and inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP–MS). Measured stability constants for the formation of and from M³⁺ are in good agreement with previous direct measurements, which involved the use of radio-chemical techniques and trivalent ions of Y, Ce, Eu, Gd, Tb, and Yb. Direct ICP–MS measurements of and formation constants are also in general agreement with modeled stability constants for the metals La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Lu, based on linear-free energy relationship (LFER). The experimental procedures developed in this work can be used for assessing the complexation behavior of other geochemically important ligands such as phosphate, sulfate, and fluoride.     

Studies on a new dinuclear Co<Superscript>II</Superscript>–pterin complex exhibiting reactivity towards phenylalanine and bromobenzene

2-Pivaloylamino-6-acetonyl-isoxanthopterin (1, ) has been reacted with under suitable conditions for synthesizing the new compound ] (2). It has been characterized by elemental analysis, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, magnetic susceptibility measurement, different spectroscopic techniques, and cyclic voltammetry. Molecular mechanics (MM2) method provided with its optimized geometry (having lowest steric energy), consistent with the above data; the optimized bond lengths and bond angles data tally with the literature X-ray structural data. Reactivity of (2) towards phenylalanine in the presence of in methanol has been followed both kinetically and stoichiometrically; a reasonable amount of tyrosine could be recovered from the reaction medium. The negative value (−274.0 J mol⁻¹ indicates an associative pathway for this process. (2) is also able to react with bromobenzene as indicated by time-dependent absorption spectra as well as product identification. Efficacy of the pterin ligand residue of (2) in rendering the latter reactive towards the above-mentioned organic compounds, has been discussed on the basis of experimental evidence.     

First and second thermodynamic mixing functions of ethylbenzene+n-nonane, +n-decane,and+n-dodecane at 25 and 45°C

Isothermal compressibilities _T and isobaric thermal expansion coefficients _p have been determined for mixtures of ethylbenzene+n-nonane, +n-decane, and +n-dodecane at 25 and 45°C in the whole range of composition. The excess functions and have been obtained at each measured mole fraction. The first one is zero for ethylbenzene +n-nonane, positive for ethylbenzene +n-decane, and +n-dodecane and increases with chain length n of the n-alkane. The function is positive for the three studied systems and nearly constant with n. Both mixing functions increase slightly with temperature. From this measurement and supplementary literature data of molar heat capacities at constant pressure C _P , the isentropic compressibilities _S, the molar heat capacities at constant volume C _V and the corresponding mixing functions have been calculated at 25°C. Furthermore, the pressure dependence of excess enthalpy H ^B , at zero pressure and at 25°C has been obtained from our experimental results of and experimental literature values for excess volume V ^E .
