Thermochemistry of solutions

The heat changes occurring when different molecular species are mixed to form solutions, i.e., homogeneous mixtures, are of interest in 

Heats of solution are usually presented in terms of relative partial enthalpies, which may be defined as 

This convention is used when dilute or moderately dilute solutions of components 2,. . . , r in component 1 (solvent) are being considered. We shall restrict ourselves to a discussion of binary solutions and use of the second convention [Eq. (3-69)] the reader will find no difficulty in extending the treatment to multicomponent solutions. In the following, we define the quantities integral heat of solution, heat of dilution, and heat of concentration. We present three alternative expressions for these quantities in terms of either the relative partial enthalpies, the integral heat of solution per mole of component 2, or the integral heat per mean mole of solution. 

Integral Heat of Solution. The integral heat of solution is the heat absorbed when rii moles of component 1 is mixed with 2 moles of component 2. The enthalpy change for this process is given by

The subject of thermochemistry deals with the heat changes resulting from chemical processes its laws are direct consequences of the first law of thermodynamics. As most reactions are carried out under constant pressure, our treatment will be restricted to a discussion of enthalpy changes. A corresponding set of equations could easily be obtained for the internal energy. In this section we discuss heat changes in chemical reactions and the thermochemistry of solutions.

The reader is referred to the preceding books and tables for additional details as to methods of calculation, standard states, and so on. 

The first systematic measurements of the reactions of ions with molecules in the gas phase were initiated largely by workers associated with analytical mass spectrometry.4-6 It was the rapidly expanding area of ion-molecule reactions which led to the origin of Gas-Phase Ion Chemistry as a distinct field.7 The discovery that ion-molecule equilibria in the gas phase can be determined by mass spectrometric techniques8 led to an explosion of thermochemical measurements based on determination of equilibria by a variety of techniques.9 Significantly, for the first time, information could be obtained on the thermochemistry of reactions which had solution counterparts of paramount importance such as acidities and basicities. These were obtained from proton transfer equilibria such as,... 

From the practical viewpoint of a student, this chapter is extremely important. The calculations introduced here are also used in the chapters on gas laws, thermochemistry, thermodynamics, solution chemistry, electrochemistry, equilibrium, kinetics, and other topics. 

The thermochemistry of 4,4-diphenylcyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene (lu) in solution was investigated by Freeman and Pugh (Scheme 19).106 The thermal decomposition of the diazo compound 2u (produced in situ from the corresponding tosylhydrazone lithium salt) produces a complex product mixture with the azine as the major product (51%). Volatile monomeric products biphenyl and several terphenyls were also formed in low yields. 

The primary aim of this review is to collect together information on the solution thermochemistry of the trihalides of the lanthanides,1 yttrium, and scandium. There is a meager amount of published work relating to nonaqueous solvents, rather more relating to aqueous solu-... 

Apart from the qualitative observations made previously about suitable solvents for study, the subject of solvates has two important bearings on the topics of thermochemistry which form the main body of this review. The first is that measured solubilities relate to the appropriate hydrate in equilibrium with the saturated solution, rather than to the anhydrous halide. Obviously, therefore, any estimate of enthalpy of solution from temperature dependence of solubility will refer to the appropriate solvate. The second area of relevance is to halide-solvent bonding strengths. These may be gauged to some extent from differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) solvates of "aprotic solvents such as pyridine, tetrahydrofuran, and acetonitrile will give clearer pictures here than solvates of "protic solvents such as water or alcohols. 

The thermochemistry of both long- and short-lived molecules can be examined through the methods described in the last three chapters of part II, namely, equilibrium, kinetic, and electrochemical methods. Equilibrium and kinetic studies in solution are widely used in thermochemistry, and both rely on the determination of molar concentrations by suitable analytical techniques. Electrochemical methods have a somewhat wider scope, providing information about the energetics of both neutral and ionic species in solution.

Although thermochemistry, in the form of p/f s, redox potentials, and so forth, is important in the analysis of solution phase reactivity, it is a critical tool when gas phase ion-molecule chemistry is being dealt with. This is because of a serious limitation in all current instrumentation utilized in the study of such reactions all the flasks leak. None of the current techniques are perfect in trapping the ions, with... 

An alternative approach to improve upon Hartree-Fock models involves including an explicit term to account for the way in which electron motions affect each other. In practice, this account is based on an exacf solution for an idealized system, and is introduced using empirical parameters. As a class, the resulting models are referred to as density functional models. Density functional models have proven to be successful for determination of equilibrium geometries and conformations, and are (nearly) as successful as MP2 models for establishing the thermochemistry of reactions where bonds are broken or formed. Discussion is provided in Section II. 

The aza-Bergman rearrangement of C,A-dialkynylimines to p-alkynyl acrylonitriles has also been studied intensively. In 1997, David and Kerwin investigated the thermochemistry of (Z)-118 in solution and observed rearrangement to (Z)-119... 

The second important aspect in thermodynamic studies is the determination of the enthalpy. A knowledge of the thermochemistry of epoxy-amine interactions is important also as a prerequisite for rational curing processes as manufacturing methods. The solution of this problem is also important for the application of the calorimetric method to the kinetic investigations. In fact, in the case of reactions with continuously varying concentrations of the donors and acceptors, the observed heat release (Q) may depend nonlinearly on conversion (a) as of the general case...

This, of course, is always negative, and plays the same role in aqueous thermochemistry as the lattice energy does in the energetics of ionic solids. The hydration enthalpy cannot be measured directly, and many thermodynamicists frown upon this or any other single-ion quantity. For example, the enthalpy of solution of sodium chloride can be measured and subjected to the following analysis ... 

A satisfactory theory of metallic bonding must account for the characteristic properties of high electrical and thermal conductivity, metallic lustre, ductility and the complex magnetic properties of metals which imply the presence of unpaired electrons. The theory should also rationalise the enthalpies of atomisation A/f tom of metallic elemental substances. A/f tom is a measure of the cohesive energy within the solid, and we saw in Chapter 5 how it plays an important part in the thermochemistry of ions in solids and solutions. The atomisation enthalpies of elemental substances (metallic and nonmetallic) are collected in Table 7.1. There is a fair correlation between A/Z tom an(J physical properties such as hardness and melting/boiling points.
