Heat of hydration, and

Supersulfiated cement (82) has a very low heat of hydration and low drying shrinkage. It has been used in Europe for mass concrete constmction and especially for stmctures exposed to sulfate and seawaters. 

Equation 32 expresses the influence of the dielectric constant of the medium in the case of infinite dilution of solutions. The first term is attributed to the ionic charge and is of the Born form. Born (11) obtained a corresponding term in A (see Equation 24) in his derivation of the heat of hydration, and Scatchard (12) introduced it in the theory of activities. The second and third terms represent the influence of the dipolar part. Their form is essentially affected by the use of the Onsager model (5). 

One of the most successful applications of crystal field theory to transition metal chemistry, and the one that heralded the re-discovery of the theory by Orgel in 1952, has been the rationalization of observed thermodynamic properties of transition metal ions. Examples include explanations of trends in heats of hydration and lattice energies of transition metal compounds. These and other thermodynamic properties which are influenced by crystal field stabilization energies, including ideal solid-solution behaviour and distribution coefficients of transition metals between coexisting phases, are described in this chapter. 

Tetranitromethane is frequently used in inorganic systems, for example, as a scavenger of superoxide. Upon one-electron reduction the immediate products are C(N02)3" and N02 (248). An estimate of E° for this couple can be made by using published values of A(H° for C(N02)4 and HC(NOz)3 in the gas phase 82.0 and —0.2 kj/mol, respectively (241). The calculation also uses AfG° from this review for aqueous N02, entropies from the NBS tables, and pKa = 0.06 for HC(N02)3 (284). It is assumed that HC(NOz)3 and C(N02)4 have identical heats of hydration and identical partial molar entropies. The outcome is E° = 0.93 V for the C(N02)4/(C(N02)3", NOz) couple. Berdnikov et al. performed a similar calculation and obtained E° = 0.9 V (47). These workers used different sources of data and made more refined estimates of the entropies and hydration energies the agreement is gratifying. 

Chemical activity, heat of hydration, and equilibrium constant are parts of the very useful discipline called thermodynamics. Thermodynamics is the relation of matter and energy that predicts the direction and final result of chemical and physical reactions, but does not predict the rate or the path of reactions. This section introduces thermodynamic terms commonly encountered in the soils literature. Thermodynamic relationships are derived in detail in many physical chemistry texts. 

Cement class I is applied for concrete corrstractiorr, to which no special conditions are imposed. Cement class II has lirrrited heat of hydration and moderate srrlphate resistance. In this cormection, beside of requirements concerning the compositiort, which refer to all kinds of cements, the reqrrirements to some oxides corrtent as well as C3S and C3A were introduced (Table 1.3). 

With its large heat of hydration and strong attraction for dipoles we can expect protons to exist in aqueous solution as an H3 0 ion, also termed an hydronium ion. An hydronium ion has an effective radius equivalent to that of a water molecular (0.14 nm) and so is roughly midway between the size of a potassium and sodium ion, and as such can be expected to have a heat of hydration lying between the values of 340 and 426 kJ/mole for and Na, respectively. The total heat of hydration of a proton is about three times larger than this, suggesting that a proton interacts with more than just one water molecule. The accepted concept is that the hydronium ion interacts with three water molecules to form an 11904" cluster, as shown in Figure 14. 

The use of Portland-fly ash cement is indicated in applications where a reduced evolution of the heat of hydration and/or a high chemical resistance is required, and... 

Partial replacement of Portland cement by natural or artificial pozzolans reduces the heat of hydration and also the unit price of concrete it slows down the process of hardening and the early strength is lower. Nevertheless, the majority of the volume of structural concrete used in technically advanced regions of the world are based on rational compositions of Portland cement and so called secondary binding materials fly ash, ground granulated blastfurnace slag, metakaolin, SF, and others. 

Only for cements with low heat of hydration and/or high sulphate resistance Portland cement, Eisen portland cement, Hochofen cement and trass cement with slow early hardening behaviour are additionally given the symbol L, while the symbol F is added to cements with high early strength... 

Supersulfated cement has a lower heat of hydration and shows better resistance to sulfate attack than normal portland cement. It has lower CH contents and most of aluminum is bound as ettringite. This cement may contain 80-85% slag, 10-15% anhydrite, and 5% activator. The main hydration products are C-S-H and ettringite. A comparison of the conduction calorimetric curves of the supersulfated cement with that of normal...
