Acid-base equilibria binary acids

Many papers concerning salt effect on vapor-liquid equilibrium have been published. The systems formed by alcohol-water mixtures saturated with various salts have been the most widely studied, with those based on the ethyl alcohol-water binary being of special interest (1-6,8,10,11). However, other alcohol mixtures have also been studied methanol (10,16,17,20,21,22), 1-propanol (10,12,23,24), 2-propanol (12,23,25,26), butanol (27), phenol (28), and ethylene glycol (29,30). Other binary solvents studied have included acetic acid-water (22), propionic acid-water (31), nitric acid-water (32), acetone-methanol (33), ethanol-benzene (27), pyridine-water (25), and dioxane-water (26). 

The nonidealities of equilibrium mixtures result from various combinations of molecular interactions one such interaction that has been recently studied is molecular association. Molecules of fatty acids such as acetic acid typically form dimers and, to a lesser extent, trimers by hydrogen bonding in the vapor and liquid states. Failure of the equilibrium data of binary systems containing acetic acid to meet established criteria of consistency based upon the Gibbs-Duhem relation has been observed by Rius et al. (I), Campbell et al. (2), Herington (3), and... 

Specific interactions in binary blends of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer with various low molecular weight terpene-phenol tackifying resins (TPR) were systematically investigated, as a function of the composition of the blend and of the electron acceptor ability of the resin, by using attenuated total reflection FTIR spectroscopy. Molecular acid-base were evidenced between TPR hydroxyl groups and EVA carbonyl groups. Quantitative information on the fraction of acid-base bonded entities, the enthalpy and equilibrium constant of pair formation were obtained. A crystalline transition of the EVA copolymer was observed and discussed in terms of enthalpy and entropy considerations based on FTIR and calorimetric DSC investigations. Fundamental results are then summarised to predict the interfacial reactivity of such polymer blends towards acid or basic substrates. 16 refs. 

The acid-base interactions in the binary aqueous mixtures with cosolvents are described by the following equilibria with the equilibrium quotient in parentheses ... 

Two additional illustrations are given in Figures 6 and 7 which show fugacity coefficients for two binary systems along the vapor-liquid saturation curve at a total pressure of 1 atm. These results are based on the chemical theory of vapor-phase imperfection and on experimental vapor-liquid equilibrium data for the binary systems. In the system formic acid (1) - acetic acid (2), <() (for y = 1) is lower than formic acid at 100.5°C has a stronger tendency to dimerize than does acetic acid at 118.2°C. Since strong dimerization occurs between all three possible pairs, (fij and not... 

An application to one binary mixture of a volatile electrolyte and water will illustrate the choice of parameters H and K, an approach is proposed to represent the vapor-liquid equilibrium in the whole range of concentration. Ternary mixtures with one acid and one base lead to the formation of salts and high ionic strengths can be reached. There, it was found useful to take into account... 

Since in an extractive distillation process based on this ternary system the extractive agent is nonvolatile and remains in the liquid phase, and since because of the similarity of the molar latent heats of nitric acid and water there is substantially constant molar liquid overflow, the mole fraction of magnesium nitrate remains almost constant throughout the process. It is appropriate to represent the equilibrium situation as a pseudo-binary system for each magnesium nitrate concentration, and Figure 7 shows vapor-liquid equilibria on a nitric acid-water basis at a series of magnesium nitrate concentrations from zero to 0.25 mole fraction in the liquid phase. 

General analysis of the binary solvent mixtures formed by two solvate active components (these solvents are often used in analytical and electrochemistry) was conducted to evaluate their effect on H-acids. The analysis was based on an equation which relates the constant of ion association, K, of the solvent mixture and constants of ion association of the acid Kj and K of each component of the mixed solvent, using equilibrium constants of scheme [9.105] - heteromolecular association constant, ionization constant of the... 

The kinetics and equilibrium of autocatalyzed and ion exchange resin (Amberlyst-15) catalyzed esterification of acetic acid with methanol and hydrolysis of methyl acetate were studied by Popken et. al. (2000) in a temperature range of 303 - 343 K. The homogeneous reaction has been described with a simple power-law model. To compare pseudo-homogeneous and adsorption-based kinetic models for the heterogeneously catalyzed reaction, independent binary liquid phase adsorption experiments were used to estimate the adsorption equilibrium constants to keep the number of adjustable parameters the same for each model. 

Despite the shortcomings of the classical theory, the relations derived from its use do allow the calculation of reliable equilibrium data for weak electrolytes, including acids and bases, in aqueous solution. Consider a solution of a binary electrolyte, BA, at a concentration, C mol 1". If only a fraction a, of... 

Tables 20.4.8 to 20.4.10 and Figure 20.4.11 present the liquid-liquid transition temperatures at ambient pressure of the binary (ethyl laetate + olive oil) system, the pseudo-binary (ethyl lactate + olive oil containing 11.60 wt% of oleic acid) and (ethyl lactate containing 2.80 wt% of water + olive oil). Cloud points at atmospheric pressure were visually detected based on solution turbidity in equilibrium glass cell placed in temperature controlled bath.

Considering here only the simplest case of a binary salt, say of a strong monobasic acid with a weak monoacid base, we have, for the hydrolytic equilibrium, the expression...
