  • CH. 9 Electrolyte Solutions
    CH. 9 Electrolyte Solutions 9.1 Activity Coefficient of a Nonvolatile Solute in Solution and Osmotic Coefficient for the Solvent As shown in Ch. 6, the chemical potential is 0 where i is the chemical potential in the standard state and is a measure of concentration. For a nonvolatile solute, its pure liquid is often not a convenient standard state because a pure nonvolatile solute cannot exist as a liquid. For the dissolved solute, * i is the chemical potential of i in a hypothetical ideal solution at unit concentration (i = 1). In the ideal solution i = 1 for all compositions In real solution, i 1 as i 0 A common misconception: The standard state for the solute is the solute at infinite dilution. () At infinite dilution, the chemical potential of the solute approaches . Thus, the standard state should be at some non-zero concentration. A standard state need not be physically realizable, but it must be well- defined. For convenience, unit concentration i = 1 is used as the standard state. Three composition scales: Molarity (moles of solute per liter of solution, ci) The standard state of the solute is a hypothetical ideal 1-molar solution of i. (c) In real solution, i 1 as ci 0 Molality (moles of solute per kg of solvent, mi) // commonly used for electrolytes // density of solution not needed The standard state is hypothetical ideal 1-molal solution of i. (m) In real solution, i 1 as mi 0 Mole fraction xi Molality is an inconvenient scale for concentrated solution, and the mole fraction is a more convenient scale.

For the calculation of the thermodynamic properties of the solution, Friedman proposed a definition for the “excess free energy” that is a reminder of the ancient idea for the “osmotic work”. However, the precise meaning to be attached to his free energy is, within other reasons, not well defined because in osmotic equilibrium the solution is not a closed system and for a given process the total amount of solvent in the solu- tion varies. In this paper, an analysis based on thermodynamics is presented in order to obtain the exact and precise definition for Friedman’s excess free energy and its use in the compar- ison with the experimental data. Keywords: excess functions; free energy; Friedman; McMillan–Mayer; osmotic pressure; theory of solutions. INTRODUCTION The McMillan–Mayer (MM) theory of solutions [1–6] is a general theory that was originally formu- lated within the context of the grand canonical ensemble.

  • 3. Activity Coefficients of Aqueous Species 3.1. Introduction
    3. Activity Coefficients of Aqueous Species 3.1. Introduction The thermodynamic activities (ai) of aqueous solute species are usually defined on the basis of molalities. Thus, they can be described by the product of their molal concentrations (mi) and their γ molal activity coefficients ( i): γ ai = mi i (77) The thermodynamic activity of the water (aw) is always defined on a mole fraction basis. Thus, it can be described analogously by product of the mole fraction of water (xw) and its mole fraction λ activity coefficient ( w): λ aw = xw w (78) It is also possible to describe the thermodynamic activities of aqueous solutes on a mole fraction (x) basis. However, such mole fraction-based activities (ai ) are not the same as the more familiar (m) molality-based activities (ai ), as they are defined with respect to different choices of standard λ states. Mole fraction based activities and activity coefficients ( i), are occasionally applied to aqueous nonelectrolyte species, such as ethanol in water. In geochemistry, the aqueous solutions of interest almost always contain electrolytes, so mole-fraction based activities and activity co- efficients of solute species are little more than theoretical curiosities. In EQ3/6, only molality- (m) based activities and activity coefficients are used for such species, so ai always implies ai . Be- cause of the nature of molality, it is not possible to define the activity and activity coefficient of (x) water on a molal basis; thus, aw always means aw . Solution thermodynamics is a construct designed to approximate reality in terms of deviations from some defined ideal behavior.

  • Physical Chemistry Laboratory I CHEM 445 Experiment 1 Freezing Point Depression of Electrolytes Revised, 01/13/03
    Physical Chemistry Laboratory I CHEM 445 Experiment 1 Freezing Point Depression of Electrolytes Revised, 01/13/03 Colligative properties are properties of solutions that depend on the concentrations of the samples and, to a first approximation, do not depend on the chemical nature of the samples. A colligative property is the difference between a property of a solvent in a solution and the same property of the pure solvent: vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, and osmotic pressure. We are grateful for the freezing point depression of aqueous solutions of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol in the winter and continually grateful to osmotic pressure for transport of water across membranes. Colligative properties have been used to determine the molecular weights of non-volatile non-electrolytes. Colligative properties can be described reasonably well by a simple model for solutions of non-electrolytes. The “abnormal” colligative properties of electrolyte solutions supported the Arrhenius theory of ionization. Deviations from ideal behavior for electrolyte solutions led to the determination of activity coefficients and the development of the theory of interionic attractions. The equation for the freezing point depression of a solution of a non-electrolyte as a function of molality is a very simple one: ∆TF = KF m (1) The constant KF, the freezing point depression constant, is a property of the solvent only, as given by the following equation, whose derivation is available in many physical chemistry texts1: o 2 MW(Solvent)R()TF KF = (2) 1000∆HF o In equation (2), R is the gas constant in J/K*mol, TF is the freezing point of the solvent (K), ∆HF is the heat of fusion of the solvent in J/mol, and the factor of 1000 is needed to convert from g to o kg of water for molality.

This dissertation is dedicated to Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, "in Whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." (Colossians 2:3) iii ABSTRACT Natural waters may be chemically studied as mixed electrolyte solutions. Some important equilibrium properties of natural waters are intimately related to the activity-concentration ratios (i.e., activity coefficients) of the ions in solution. An Ion Interaction Model, which is based on Pitzer's (1973) thermodynamic model, is proposed in this dissertation. The proposed model is capable of describing the activity coefficient of ions in mixed electrolyte solutions.
