Motion in Liquids

We learned in Chapter 10 that gas molecules move at some average speed that depends inversely on their molar mass, in a straight line, until they collide with something. The mean free path is the average distance molecules travel between collisions, oco (Section 10.8) Recall also that the kinetic-molecular theory of gases assumes that gas molecules are in continuous, random motion. oco(Section 10.7) 

100-L solution is made by dissolving 0.441 g of CaCl2(5) in water, (a) Calculate the osmotic pressure of this solution at 27 °C, assuming that it is completely dissociated into its component ions, (b) The measured osmotic pressure of this solution is 2.56 atm at 27 °C. Explain why it is less than the value calculated in (a), and calculate the van t Hoff factor, i, for the solute in this solution, (c) The enthalpy of solution for CaC is AH = —81.3 kl/mol. If the final temperature of the solution is 27 °C, what was its initial temperature (Assume that the density of the solution is 1.00 g/mL, that its specific heat is 4.18 J/g-K, and that the solution loses no heat to its surroundings.) 

Soluble ionic compounds are strong electrolytes, aoo (Sections 4.1 and 4.3) Thus, CaCL consists of metal cations (Ca ) and nonmetal anions (Cl ). When completely dissociated, each CaClj unit forms three ions (one Ca and two Cl ). Hence, the calculated osmotic 

the solution behaves as if the CaCL has dissociated into 2.62 particles instead of the ideal 3. 

A kdvin has the same size as a degree Celsius. oao(Section 1.4) Because the solution temperature increases by 0.773 °C, the initial temperature was 27.0 °C — 0.773 °C = 26.2 °C.

The frequency-dependent spectroscopic capabilities of SPFM are ideally suited for studies of ion solvation and mobility on surfaces. This is because the characteristic time of processes involving ionic motion in liquids ranges from seconds (or more) to fractions of a millisecond. Ions at the surface of materials are natural nucleation sites for adsorbed water. Solvation increases ionic mobility, and this is reflected in their response to the electric field around the tip of the SPFM. The schematic drawing in Figure 29 illustrates the situation in which positive ions accumulate under a negatively biased tip. If the polarity is reversed, the positive ions will diffuse away while negative ions will accumulate under the tip. Mass transport of ions takes place over distances of a few tip radii or a few times the tip-surface distance. 

Filming of atomic motions in liquids was thus accomplished. More specifically, the above experiment provides atom-atom distribution functions gpv(F, t) as they change during a chemical reaction. It also permits one to monitor temporal variations in the mean density of laser-heated solutions. Finally, it shows that motions of reactive and solvent molecules are strongly correlated the solvent is not an inert medium hosting the reaction [58].

As discussed in Chap. 3 Sect. 2.5, while observation of time-dependent rate coefficients does enable reliable estimates of the diffusion coefficient appropriate to reaction between donors and acceptors, the very ease of observation of these time-dependent effects masks much detail of diffusive motion in liquids. Estimates of i eff reflect more on the parameters appropriate to long-range transfer processes than on collisional events in...

Before discussing other results it is informative to first consider some correlation and memory functions obtained from a few simple models of rotational and translational motion in liquids. One might expect a fluid molecule to behave in some respects like a Brownian particle. That is, its actual motion is very erratic due to the rapidly varying forces and torques that other molecules exert on it. To a first approximation its motion might then be governed by the Langevin equations for a Brownian particle 61...

One may note that the correlation length for the relative Brownian motion in liquids is two orders Of magnitude smaller because of a much higher viscosity.

Reactions in Solution Molecular motion in liquids is diffusional in place of free flight but the concept of activation energy and stearic requirements survive. Molecules have to jostle their way through the solvent and so the encounter frequency is drastically less than in a gas. Since a molecule migrates only slowly into the region of a possible reaction partner, it also migrates only slowly away from it.

One of the simplest examples of this type of calculation involves the study of a system of rare-gas atoms, as in, e.g., calculations carried out on liquid argon. The relaxation time after a colhsion was found to be on the order of 10 s, which is about the same time as that for rather large ions (e.g., of 500 pm). Thus, much of what one learns from the MD study of molecular motion in liquid argon should be applicable to ionic diffusion.

This chapter will focus on the specific research area of combining MD simulations and experimental NMR relaxation studies to obtain information about intermolecular interactions and molecular motion in liquids and solutions [4]. To combine MD simulations and NMR relaxation measurements is an ideal tool in many respects.
