Enthalpy changes, dilution

The initial work at Bartlesville has concentrated on measurements of enthalpy changes from dilution and adsorption for surfactant systems. From the observed dilution enthalpy changes, critical micelle concentrations have been determined, and standard state enthalpies of micel lization have been calculated. In the studies on adsorption, several properties are of interest the enthalpy of adsorption, the amount of surfactant adsorbed, the surface area of the solid and determining whether the adsorption is reversible. The kinetics of adsorption and desorption are also of interest. 

The chemistry of Lewis acid-base adducts (electron-pair donor-acceptor complexes) has stimulated the development of measures of the Lewis basicity of solvents. Jensen and Persson have reviewed these. Gutmann defined the donor number (DN) as the negative of the enthalpy change (in kcal moL ) for the interaction of an electron-pair donor with SbCls in a dilute solution in dichloroethane. DN has been widely used to correlate complexing data, but side reactions can lead to inaccurate DN values for some solvents. Maria and Gal measured the enthalpy change of this reaction... 

We can generalize this result by stating that extrapolating enthalpy changes in solution to infinite dilution gives the enthalpy change AHa for the process5... 

In this process, the original solution is diluted by the addition of pure solvent, and hence, the enthalpy change is called an integral enthalpy of dilution. 

The enthalpy change for this process is an integral enthalpy of dilution for which we saw earlier that... 

To show how we can calculate relative apparent molar enthalpies from enthalpies of dilution, consider as an example, a process in which we start with a HC1 solution of molality m = 18.50 mol-kg-1 and dilute it to a concentration of m = 11.10 mol-kg-1. The initial solution contains 3 moles of H20 per mole of HC1 (A = 3) while the final solution has A = 5. The enthalpy change for that process is measured. Then the m = 11.10 mol-kg-1 solution is diluted to one with m = 4.63 mol-kg-1 and its enthalpy of dilution measured. The series continues as illustrated below,... 

Arrecognizes that in the infinitely dilute solution HC1 is already completely separated into ions so that no enthalpy change is involved in the ionization process. 

The entry where the row labeled Na+ intersects the column labeled Cl, for instance, is the enthalpy change, -784 kj-mol, for the process Na+(g) + Cl (g) —> Na (aq) + Cl(aq) the values here apply only when the resulting solution is very dilute. 

A coffee-cup calorimeter is well-suited to determining the enthalpy changes of reactions in dilute aqueous solutions. The water in the calorimeter absorbs (or provides) the energy that is released (or absorbed) by a chemical reaction. When carrying out an experiment in a dilute solution, the solution itself absorbs or releases the energy. You can calculate the amount of energy that is absorbed or released by the solution using the equation mentioned earlier. 

O Concentrated sulfuric acid can be diluted by adding it to water. The reaction is extremely exothermic. In this question, you will design an experiment to measure the enthalpy change (in kj/mol) for the dilution of concentrated sulfuric acid. Assume that you have access to any equipment in your school s chemistry laboratory. Do not carry out this experiment. 

When Equation (10.24) is applied to the temperature dependence of In Kp, where Kp applies to an isothermal transformation, the A// that is used is the enthalpy change at zero pressure for gases and at infinite dilution for substances in solution (see Section 7.3).

The donor number, DN [11, 13], of solvent D (Lewis base) is determined calori-metrically as the negative value of the standard enthalpy change, -AH° (in kcal mol-1), for the 1 1 adduct formation between solvent D and antimony pentachlor-ide (SbCls), both being dilute, in 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) at 25 °C [Eq. (1.5)] ... 

In most common chemical reactions, one or more of the reactants is in solution. Thus, an easy method to determine thermodynamic quantities of solution is desirable. Enthalpy of solution (heat of solution) is defined as the change in the quantity of heat which occurs due to a combination of a particular solute (gas, liquid, or solid) with a specified amount of solvent to form a solution. If the solution consists of two liquids, the enthalpy change upon mixing the separate liquids is called the heat of mixing. When additional solvent is added to the solution to form a solution of lower solute concentration, the heat effect is called the heat of dilution. The definitions of free energy of solution, entropy of solution, and so on follow the pattern of definitions above. 

Higuchi et al. (1963), in the study of methylprednisolone polymorphs, noted that the ratio of solubility between polymorphs should remain constant regardless of the solvent. This holds true as long as Henry s Law is obeyed, since solvent-dependent terms are cancelled when the temperatur dependence of the solubilities is expressed as a ratio. Their resultant expression shows that, whe the activity coefLcients are 1.0 (dilute solution), the solubility ratip depends only on the enthalpy change for the transition (4, the gas constant jjRand the temperature XT... 

Calorimetric measurements yield enthalpy changes directly, and they also yield information on heat capacities, as indicated by equation 10.4-1. Heat capacity calorimeters can be used to determine Cj , directly. It is almost impossible to determine ArCp° from measurements of apparent equilibrium constants of biochemical reactions because the second derivative of In K is required. Data on heat capacities of species in dilute aqueous solutions is quite limited, although the NBS Tables give this information for most of their entries. Goldberg and Tewari (1989) have summarized some of the literature on molar heat capacities of species of biochemical interest in their survey on carbohydrates and their monophosphates. Table 10.1 give some standard molar heat capacities at 298.15 K and their uncertainties. The changes in heat capacities in some chemical reactions are given in Table 10.2. 

Thermodynamic measurements in dilute hydrocarbon surfactant solutions give negative values for the enthalpy change on micellization (AH0mic), and the entropy change (AS°mic) in the negative range (see Chapter 1, Table 1.1 for comparison). 

Enthalpy of Neutralisation It is defined as the enthalpy change accompanying the neutralisation of one gram equivalent of a base by an acid in dilute solution at that temperature, e.g.,... 

For so-called regular solutions, in which small solute molecules disperse randomly among like-size solvent molecules, AS° can be taken as zero [14]. The enthalpy change AH% for transferring (mixing) pure solute of molar volume Vi into solvent p at high dilution is approximately [14]... 

A general discussion of calorimetric measurements is presented in the section Principles of Calorimetry, which should be reviewed in connection with this experiment. We shall not consider here the concentration dependence of these enthalpy changes. Such concentration dependence is generally a small effect, since the heats of dilution involved are usually much smaller than the heats of chemical reaction (indeed they are zero for perfect solutions). Since we are dealing here with solutions of moderate concentration, particularly in the case of the NaOH solution, it may be useful to make parallel determinations of heats of dilution of the solutions concerned by a procedure similar to that described here if time permits. 

Rule 2. For highly dilute solutions of solids or gases in liquids, neglect the enthalpy change of the solute. The more dilute the solution, the better this approximation.
