Calorimetry solution

Solution calorimetry has been the most widely applied type of calorimetry because it needs relatively simple apparatus, and a wide choice of liquid reagents is available. Much of silicate thermochemistry, for example, has been based on the hydrofluoric acid solution calorimeters using platinum or silver vessels and fluorinated gaskets 90, 214). 

For the more vigorous reactions, a twin-cell calorimeter was devised 188). It consisted of two nickel cylinders connected by a stainless steel needle valve and tubing and held rigidly to a metal top-plate. The cylinders and connections were immersed in a wide-necked Dewar vessel containing carbon tetrachloride which would react mildly with any BrFa that escaped. Bromine trifluoride contained in one cylinder was transferred to the solid contained in the other cylinder by opening the valve and applying controlled suction. All measurements were made externally on probes in the carbon tetrachloride. 

However, a complication arose because in the liquid phase bromine, released on fluorination, only equilibrated slowly with the bromine trifluoride. The vapor-phase equilibration Br2 + BrFa 3BrF surprisingly occurs within minutes at 25°C 219). Hence BrFa was first equilibrated with an excess of Bra- Then the heat of addition of further Br, was small and reached equilibrium within 5 min provided the BrFa/Br mole ratio was held within limits of 7 to 6.5. These mixtures have additional advantages in that the BrF, content, which is reported 

The actual composition present in the Brj/BrFa mixture is not known, and any fluorination reaction may be a composite reaction of BrF, BrFs and ErF. It is not necessary to assume that BrFj is the reactive constituent, although this is probable. Consider the fluorination of a species X—a metal, oxide, oxysalt, halide, etc.—to the fluoride XF by a mixture of bromine fluorides BrF ji. The general reaction is 

If we assume qXf =qY, for all values of i (i.e., there is no selectivity of attack by the different bromine fluorides) and that the enthalpies of bromine and its fluorides are not significantly different in the product solutions, then the bromine fluoride values are eliminated by subtraction of the enthalpy changes 

Solution calorimetry. There are two methods that can be used to quantify amorphous material based on solution calorimetry. The first method exploits differences in the rate of dissolution of the amorphous material compared to the crystalline form. The second method exploits the difference in enthalpy change of dissolution for the amorphous content compared to the crystalline form. 

Differences in the thermodynamics of dissolution can also be exploited for a quantification of amorphous component. Here a solvent is chosen that will allow rapid and total dissolution for both the crystalline and amorphous 

The choice between the kinetic or the thermodynamic method of analysis of amorphous materials depends on the dissolution rate and the enthalpy of dissolution of the solid. If the crystalline material is very water-soluble or the amorphous component is very hydrophobic then the thermodynamic method for analysis should be used. However if the crystal lattice energy is small and, therefore, the enthalpy of dissolution of the crystalline material is similar to that of the amorphous material, the kinetic method for analysis should be used. 

For now, let s concentrate on calorimetry, the classical method for determining thermodynamic properties. 

This apparatus is used to measure how much heat is liberated when a known amount of solid material, such as a mineral, dissolves. Most minerals are notoriously insoluble in water and so an acid, such as hydrofluoric acid (HF), is used. The method is called solution calorimetry. 

A thermometer is wound around the reaction vessel and records the change in temperature. No electrical leads are shown. (Simplified from Robie and Hemingway, 1972.) 

A few grams of crushed mineral are put into the sample holder and sealed with gold foil. The sample holder is then place in the reaction chamber, which is then filled with acid. A long rod reaches from the top of the sample holder through various seals to the top of the apparatus. This assembly is then sealed and placed in a vacuum chamber, which goes into a water bath. The purpose of the vacuum and water bath is to minimize the loss of heat from the reaction chamber. 

What are the meaning and use of this heat of solution In terms of the processes we have been discussing, we have observed an irreversible reaction between a metastable state (pure acid and mineral grains, separated, at T ) and a stable state (mineral dissolved in acid at T2), made some measurements, and calculated from this the heat that would be released in the reaction

Solution calorimetry covers the measurement of the energy changes that occur when a compound or a mixture (solid, liquid or gas) is mixed, dissolved or adsorbed in a solvent or a solution. In addition it includes the measurement of the heat capacity of the resultant solution. Solution calorimeters are usually subdivided by the method in which the components are mixed, namely, batch, titration and flow.

The physical properties of the anhydrate form and two polymorphic monohydrates of niclosamide have been reported [61], The anhydrate form exhibited the highest solubility in water and the fastest intrinsic dissolution rate, while the two monohydrates exhibited significantly lower aqueous solubilities. In a subsequent study, the 1 1 solvates of niclosamide with methanol, diethyl ether, dimethyl sulfoxide, N,/V -dimethyl formamide, and tetrahydrofuran, and the 2 1 solvate with tetraethylene glycol, were studied [62], The relative stability of the different solvatomorphs was established using desolvation activation energies, solution calorimetry, and aqueous solubilities. It was found that although the nonaqueous solvates exhibited higher solubilities and dissolution rates, they were unstable in aqueous media and rapidly transformed to one of the monohydrates.

One of the most powerful techniques available for the evaluation of the solubility attributes of polymorphic or solvate species is solution calorimetry. Each distinct crystal phase is characterized by a well-defined heat of solution as it dissolves into a given solvent system, and the difference between the heats of solution of each phase in the same defined solvent system equals the heat of transition between them at the temperature of measurement. Solution calorimetry has been used to complement or to investigate a wide variety of crystal properties,... 

In some instances, distinct polymorphic forms can be isolated that do not interconvert when suspended in a solvent system, but that also do not exhibit differences in intrinsic dissolution rates. One such example is enalapril maleate, which exists in two bioequivalent polymorphic forms of equal dissolution rate [139], and therefore of equal free energy. When solution calorimetry was used to study the system, it was found that the enthalpy difference between the two forms was very small. The difference in heats of solution of the two polymorphic forms obtained in methanol was found to be 0.51 kcal/mol, while the analogous difference obtained in acetone was 0.69 kcal/mol. These results obtained in two different solvent systems are probably equal to within experimental error. It may be concluded that the small difference in lattice enthalpies (AH) between the two forms is compensated by an almost equal and opposite small difference in the entropy term (-T AS), so that the difference in free energy (AG) is not sufficient to lead to observable differences in either dissolution rate or equilibrium solubility. The bioequivalence of the two polymorphs of enalapril maleate is therefore easily explained thermodynamically. 

When one polymorph can be thermally converted to another, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis cannot be used to deduce the heat of transition between the two forms, and so solution calorimetry represents an alternative methodology. This situation was encountered when evaluating the polymorphs of losartan [140], Enthalpies of transition were obtained in water (A(A//sol) = 1.723 kcal/mol) and in A A-dimethylformarnide (A(A//S0 ) = 1.757 kcal/mol), with the equivalence in results demonstrating the quality of the results. Although enthalpy does not indicate stability, the authors deduced from solution calorimetry that form I was more stable than form II at ambient temperature. 

There is general agreement that static-bomb combustion calorimetry is inherently unsatisfactory to determine enthalpies of formation of organolead compounds2,3. Unfortunately, as shown in Table 6 only three substances have been studied by the rotating-bomb method. The experimentally measured enthalpies of formation of the remaining compounds in Table 6 were determined by reaction-solution calorimetry and all rely on AH/(PbPh4, c). 

The basic principle of solution calorimetry is simple. In one experiment the enthalpy of solution of, for example, LaA103(s) [32] is measured in a particular solvent. In order to convert this enthalpy of solution to an enthalpy of formation, a thermodynamic cycle, which gives the formation reaction... 

The solution experiments may be made in aqueous media at around ambient temperatures, or in metallic or inorganic melts at high temperatures. Two main types of ambient temperature solution calorimeter are used adiabatic and isoperibol. While the adiabatic ones tend to be more accurate, they are quite complex instruments. Thus most solution calorimeters are of the isoperibol type [33]. The choice of solvent is obviously crucial and aqueous hydrofluoric acid or mixtures of HF and HC1 are often-used solvents in materials applications. Very precise enthalpies of solution, with uncertainties approaching 0.1% are obtained. The effect of dilution and of changes in solvent composition must be considered. Whereas low temperature solution calorimetry is well suited for hydrous phases, its ability to handle refractory oxides like A1203 and MgO is limited. 

Low melting metals (Sn and also Bi, In, Pb, and Cd) are extensively used as solvents in calorimetric studies of metallic phases [35]. Transition metals do not, however, dissolve readily in tin [43] and other solvents such as Cu and A1 have been used. An experimental probe for high-temperature solution calorimetry is shown in Figure 10.8.
