Binary Electrolyte Mixtures

Binary Electrolyte Mixtures When electrolytes are added to a solvent, they dissociate to a certain degree. It would appear that the solution contains at least three components solvent, anions, and cations. If the solution is to remain neutral in charge at each point (assuming the absence of any applied electric potential field), the anions and cations diffuse effectively as a single component, as for molecular diffusion. The diffusion of the anionic and cationic species in the solvent can thus be treated as a binary mixture. 

Nermt-Haskell The theory of dilute diffusion of salts is well developed and has been experimentally verified. For dilute solutions of a single salt, the well-known Nernst-Haskell equation (Poling et al.) is applicable  

Morgan, Ferguson, and Scovazzo find. Eng. Chem. Res. 44, 4815 (2005)] They studied diffusion of gases in ionic liquids having moderate to high viscosity (up to about 1000 cP) at 30°C. Their range was limited, and the empirical equation they found was 

Multicomponent Mixtures No simple, practical estimation methods have been developed for predicting multicomponent liquid-diffusion coefficients. Several theories have been developed, but the necessity for extensive activity data, pure component and mixture volumes, mixture viscosity data, and tracer and binary diffusion coefficients have significantly limited the utility of the theories (see Poling et al.). 

The generalized Stefan-Maxwell equations using binary diffusion coefficients are not easily applicable to liquids since the coefficients are so dependent on conditions. That is, in liquids, each Dt1 can be strongly composition dependent in binary mixtures and, moreover, the binary Dy is strongly affected in a multicomponent mixture. Thus, the convenience of writing multicomponent flux equations in terms of binary coefficients is lost. Conversely, they apply to gas mixtures because each DtJ is practically independent of composition by itself and in a multicomponent mixture (see Taylor and Krishna for details).

Section 5.5 dwelled on the transport of charged mixtures and the derivation of the basic transport equations. Recall that for an infinite diluted mixture, the transport of ions takes place due to their migration in the electric field, diffusion and convection. As in the Section 5.5, we limit ourselves to the study of a binary electrolyte mixture, for which (in the case of electrically neutral mixture) the distribution of reduced ion concentration is described by a convective diffusion equation, with the effective diffusion coefficient given by (5.96). The solution of Eq. (5.94) allows us to find the distribution of electric potential. In Eq. (5.98), we can form scalar products of both parts with dx, where x is the radius-vector, and then use the relation between diffusion coefficients of ions and their mobility D = ATi> . Integrating the resultant expression, we then find the potential difference Ap between two points of the mixture ...

Z values cover a range from 94.6 (water) to about 60 kcal/mol (z-octane) and were originally measured for 21 pure solvents and 35 binary solvent mixtures [5, 56], as well as some electrolytes [57] and surfactant solutions [58]. Various authors have since gradually extended this to include 45 pure solvents. Z values for a further 41 pure solvents have been determined by Griffiths and Pugh [172], who also compiled all available Z values and their relationships with other solvent polarity scales. A selection of Z values together with some other spectroscopic solvent polarity parameters is given in Table 7-2. 

HP he study of the behavior of electrolytes in mixed solvents is currently arousing considerable interest because of its practical and fundamental implications (1). Among the simpler binary solvent mixtures, those where water is one component are obviously of primary importance. We have recently compared the effects of small quantities of water on the thermodynamic properties of selected 1 1 electrolytes in sulfolane, acetonitrile, propylene carbonate, and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). These four compounds belong to the dipolar aprotic (DPA) class of solvents that has received a great deal of attention (2) because of their wide use as media for physical separations and chemical and electrochemical reactions. We interpreted our vapor pressure, calorimetry, and NMR results in terms of preferential solvation of small cations and anions by water and obtained...

Equation 15 can be used to correlate the gas solubility in the presence of a salt if the composition dependence of the molar volume of the binary electrolyte—water mixture is known. Such data are available in the literature for numerous aqueous salt solutions. Like that of Sechenov, eq 15 is a one-parameter equation whose parameter B has to be determined from the solubility data. The two equations provide almost the same results (see Figure 1). 

The Kirkwood-Buff formalism can be also used to derive the composition dependence of the Henry constant for a sparingly soluble gas dissolved in a mixed solvent containing water-r electrolyte [27]. The obtained equation requires information about the molar volume and the mean activity coefficient of the electrolyte in the binary (water-H electrolyte) mixture. Several expressions for the mean activity coefficient of the electrolyte were tested and it was concluded that the accuracy in... 

Additional difficulties in formulating an adsorption theory for the liquid - solid interface result from a variety of interactions between components of a liquid mixture and from a complex structure of the adsorbent, which may possess different types of pores and strong surface heterogeneity. Our considerations will be limited to physical adsorption on heterogeneous solid surfaces of components of comparable molecular sizes from non-electrolytic (non ideal or ideal) miscible binary liquid mixtures.

We are predominantly concerned in this volume with electrolytic solutions although some mention will be found of gaseous and other non-electrolytic solutions where this helps in interpreting the properties of ionic solutions. The scope of this volume is therefore perhaps more restrictive than the title suggests the important areas of binary non-electrolyte mixtures, solvent extraction and polymer solutions are also not covered. Adequate coverage of these may be found in excellent monographs and reviews elsewhere. 

This chapter deals with experimental methods for determining the thermodynamic excess functions of binary liquid mixtures of non-electrolytes. Most of it is concerned with techniques suitable for measurements in the temperature range 250 to 400 K and the pressure range 0 to 100 kPa. Techniques suitable for lower temperatures will be briefly reviewed. Techniques for measuring the molar excess Gibbs function G, the molar excess enthalpy and the molar excess volume will be discussed. The molar excess entropy can only be determined indirectly from either measurements of (7 and at a specific temperature = (If — C /T], or from the temperature dependence of G m [ S m = The molar excess functions have been defined by...
