Nevertheless, it is now understood that HLB essentially depends on the surfactant, while the phase behavior and emulsion properties are also related to the water and oil phase nature, as well as to the temperature (100). The temperature was the preferred variable in the case of nonionic surfactants which are very sensitive to it, and an experimentally based concept was first introduced by Shinoda to quantify the formulation, i.e., the phase inversion temperature (PIT) (105, 106). It is known that the hydrophilicity of a nonionic surfactant decreses when temperature decreases. In water solution there exists a temperature at which the surfactant is no longer soluble and thus produces a separate phase. This so-called cloud point occurrence is related to the Shinoda PIT, which is essentially the same phenomenon, but in the presence of an oil phase whose nature could facilitate this separation and make it happen at a lower temperature. Although the PIT is limited to the liquid water temperature range of nonionic surfactants, its introduction was an important milestone because it was related not only to the surfactant, but also to the whole physicochemical environment (107), a feature that was shown to be essential by Winsor. 

Liquid Third Phase. A third Hquid with coUoidal stmcture has been a known component in emulsions since the 1970s (22) for nonionic surfactants of the poly(ethylene glycol) alkylaryl ether type. It allows low energy emulsification (23) using the strong temperature dependence of the coUoidal association stmctures in the water—surfactant—hydrocarbon systems. 

As in die case of die diffusion properties, die viscous properties of die molten salts and slags, which play an important role in die movement of bulk phases, are also very stiiicture-seiisitive, and will be refeiTed to in specific examples. For example, die viscosity of liquid silicates are in die range 1-100 poise. The viscosities of molten metals are very similar from one metal to anodier, but die numerical value is usually in die range 1-10 centipoise. This range should be compared widi die familiar case of water at room temperature, which has a viscosity of one centipoise. An empirical relationship which has been proposed for die temperature dependence of die viscosity of liquids as an AiTlienius expression is... 

Now, we should ask ourselves about the properties of water in this continuum of behavior mapped with temperature and pressure coordinates. First, let us look at temperature influence. The viscosity of the liquid water and its dielectric constant both drop when the temperature is raised (19). The balance between hydrogen bonding and other interactions changes. The diffusion rates increase with temperature. These dependencies on temperature provide uS with an opportunity to tune the solvation properties of the liquid and change the relative solubilities of dissolved solutes without invoking a chemical composition change on the water. 

Temperature-dependent phase behavior was first applied to separate products from an ionic liquid/catalyst solution by de Souza and Dupont in the telomerization of butadiene and water [34]. This concept is especially attractive if one of the substrates shows limited solubility in the ionic liquid solvent. 

With increasing water content the reversed micelles change via swollen micelles 62) into a lamellar crystalline phase, because only a limited number of water molecules may be entrapped in a reversed micelle at a distinct surfactant concentration. Tama-mushi and Watanabe 62) have studied the formation of reversed micelles and the transition into liquid crystalline structures under thermodynamic and kinetic aspects for AOT/isooctane/water at 25 °C. According to the phase-diagram, liquid crystalline phases occur above 50—60% H20. The temperature dependence of these phase transitions have been studied by Kunieda and Shinoda 63). 

Once equilibrium between liquid and vapor is reached, the number of molecules per unit volume in the vapor does not change with time. This means that the pressure exerted by the vapor over the liquid remains constant The pressure of vapor in equilibrium with a liquid is called the vapor pressure. This quantity is a characteristic property of a given liquid at a particular temperature. It varies from one liquid to another, depending on the strength of the intermolecular forces. At 25°C, the vapor pressure of water is 24 mm Hg that of ether, in which intermolecular forces are weaker, is 537 mm Hg. 

The vapor pressure of a liquid depends on how readily the molecules in the liquid can escape from the forces that hold them together. More energy to overcome these attractions is available at higher temperatures than at low, and so we can expect the vapor pressure of a liquid to rise with increasing temperature. Table 8.3 shows the temperature dependence of the vapor pressure of water and Fig. 8.3 shows how the vapor pressures of several liquids rise as the temperature increases. We can use the thermodynamic relations introduced in Chapter 7 to find an expression for the temperature dependence of vapor pressure and trace it to the role of intermolecular forces. 

It is not the purpose of chemistry, but rather of statistical thermodynamics, to formulate a theory of the structure of water. Such a theory should be able to calculate the properties of water, especially with regard to their dependence on temperature. So far, no theory has been formulated whose equations do not contain adjustable parameters (up to eight in some theories). These include continuum and mixture theories. The continuum theory is based on the concept of a continuous change of the parameters of the water molecule with temperature. Recently, however, theories based on a model of a mixture have become more popular. It is assumed that liquid water is a mixture of structurally different species with various densities. With increasing temperature, there is a decrease in the number of low-density species, compensated by the usual thermal expansion of liquids, leading to the formation of the well-known maximum on the temperature dependence of the density of water (0.999973 g cm-3 at 3.98°C).

The sign of AG depends on the temperature. When T > 0°C, AG < 0, since ice will spontaneously melt. When T < 0°C, AG > 0, since liquid water will spontaneously freeze and when T= 0°C, AG = 0, since that is the melting point of water and the reaction is at equilibrium. 

The resulting overall picture of liquid water is that of a very dynamical macromolecular system, where clusters of different size and structure coexist in different subvolumes of the liquid and each has characteristic lifetimes and specific temperature dependences. In our opinion, if we would...
