Ionic solvation in water + co-solvent mixtures. Part 8. Total free energies of transfer and free energies of transfer with the “neutral” component removed of single ions from water into water + acetone

The acid dissociation constants of a wide range of acids in water+acetone mixtures have been combined with values for the free energy of transfer of the proton. ΔG⁰_t(H⁺ to calculate values for the free energy of transfer of ions which derive only from the charge on the ion. ΔG⁰_t(i)_c. As the values of ΔG⁰_t(H⁺) have been revised, revised values for the total free energies of transfer of cations and anions, ΔG⁰_t(M⁺) and ΔG^o_t(X^-), are given. New data for ΔG^o_t(MX_n) is also split into values for ΔG⁰_t(Mⁿ⁺) (where n=1 and 2) and ΔG⁰_t(X^?). These free energies of transfer, both total and those deriving from the charge alone, are compared with similar free energies in other mixtures water+co-solvent. Values for ΔG^o_t(i)_c do not conform to a Born-type relationship and show the importance of structural effects in the solvent even when only the transfer of the charge is involved.
