Mixing, energy enthalpy

The heat of mixing (excess enthalpy) and the excess Gibbs energy are also experimentally accessible, the heat of mixing by direcl measurement and G (or In Yi) indirectly as a prodiicl of the reduction of vapor/hqiiid eqiiihbriiim data. Knowledge of H and G allows calculation of by Eq. (4-13) written for excess properties.

Electromotive force measurements of the cell Pt, H2 HBr(m), X% alcohol, Y% water AgBr-Ag were made at 25°, 35°, and 45°C in the following solvent systems (1) water, (2) water-ethanol (30%, 60%, 90%, 99% ethanol), (3) anhydrous ethanol, (4) water-tert-butanol (30%, 60%, 91% and 99% tert-butanol), and (5) anhydrous tert-butanol. Calculations of standard cell potential were made using the Debye-Huckel theory as extended by Gronwall, LaMer, and Sandved. Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, entropy changes, and mean ionic activity coefficients were calculated for each solvent mixture and temperature. Relationships of the stand-ard potentials and thermodynamic functons with respect to solvent compositions in the two mixed-solvent systems and the pure solvents were discussed. 

Cryoenzymology utilizes the following features of enzyme catalysis the existence on the catalytic reaction pathway of several enzyme-substrate (or product) intermediate species, typically separated by energy barriers with enthalpies of activation of 7 to 20 kcal mol"1 and the fact that the energies (enthalpies) of activation for the individual steps in the overall catalytic pathway are usually significantly different. For such elementary steps temperatures of —100 °C will result in rate reductions on the order of 105 to 1011 compared to those at 25 or 37°C (5). The theoretical basis of cryoenzymology has been presented in detail elsewhere (5, 7, 9, 10). If the reaction is initiated by mixing enzyme and substrate at a suitably low temperature, only the initial noncovalent ES...

EMF measurements on the ZnQa-AQ (A = K, Rb or Cs) systems have yielded partial molar free energies, enthalpies and entropies, and the results have been interpreted in terms of an acid-base reaction. Tlie enthalpy of mixing consists of a contribution from the reaction to form the tetrahedral complex A2ZnCl4, and a contribution from the mixing of the products with remaining reactants to form a solution. The results indicate that as the polarizing power of the alkaU metal cation decreases, the reaction part of the enthalpy becomes more pronounced, reflecting the increased basicity of the alkali metal salt. 

The most extensive series of studies in this area are those of Ben-Naim and co-workers.They have measured the solubilities of argon in various mixed solvents as a function of temperature, and calculated free energies, enthalpies, and entropies of solution. All data are presented in graphical form, and include the solvent systems, water-ethanol, water-p-dioxan, and water-methanol. The last two of these systems were studied over the entire concentration range, and while the primary interest was in aqueous and highly aqueous mixed solution, useful information is given on organic systems.
