Topic 2670 Solubilities of Gases in Liquids Comparison of The Topic 2670 Solubilities of Gases in Liquids Comparison of the solubilities of volatile chemical substance j in liquids l1 and l 2 yields an estimate of the difference in reference chemical ∆ → µ0 potentials, (l 1 l 2 ) j (T) .This is a classic subject [1-10] with two consequences. (i) A vast amount of information has been published, not all, unfortunately, of high quality. (ii) Many terms and definitions have been developed. Determination of thermodynamic parameters characterising gaseous solubilities is not straightforward. Account has to be taken of the fact that the properties of real gases are not perfect. A closed system contains two phases, liquid and gaseous, at temperature T. The liquid is water; a sparingly soluble chemical substance j exists in both gas and liquid phases. A phase equilibrium is established for substance j in the two phases. In terms of the Phase Rule, there are two phases and two components. Hence there are two degrees of freedom. If the temperature and pressure are defined, the compositions of the two phases are fixed. In terms of chemical potentials with reference to substance j the following condition holds. µ eq = µ eq j (aq;x j ,p,T) j (g;p j ,T) (a) Here pj is the equilibrium partial pressure of substance j in the gas phase at eq pressure p where pressure p equals (pj + p1) where p1 is the equilibrium partial pressure of water in the vapour phase. Equation (a) establishes the thermodynamic basis of the phenomenon discussed here. However historical and practical developments resulted in quite different approaches to the description of the solubilities of gases in liquids. The thermodynamic treatment is not straightforward if we recognise that the thermodynamic properties of the vapour (i.e. gas phase) and the solution are not ideal. When both the solubility and the partial pressure of the ‘solute’ in the gas phase are low, the assumption is often made that the thermodynamic properties of gas and solution are ideal. Then the analysis of solubility is reasonably straightforward [1-3]. In a sophisticated analysis, account must be taken of the intermolecular interactions in the vapour phase and solute-solute interactions in solution [4-10]. We review the basis of analyses where the thermodynamic properties of gas and liquid phases are ideal. Nevertheless equation (a) is the common starting point for the analysis. Bunsen Coefficient, α By definition, the Bunsen Coefficient α is the volume of a gas at 273.15 K and standard pressure p0 which dissolves in unit volume of a solvent when the partial pressure of the gas equals p0. Experiment yields the volume Vj(g) of gas j at temperature T and partial pressure pj absorbed by volume Vs of solvent at temperature T. The volume of gas at 273.15 K and 0 0 standard pressure p , Vj (g;p ;273.15 K) is given by equation (b) assuming that gas j has the properties of a perfect gas. 0 = ⋅ ⋅ 0 ⋅ Vj (g;p ;273.15 K) [p j Vj (g;T;p j ) 273.15 K / p T] (b) Hence experiment yields the ratio, [Vj (g;T;p j ) / VS (l;T;p)]. By simple 0 proportion we obtain the volume, Vj (g;p ;273.15 K) in the event that the gas j was at pressure p0 above the liquid phase. V (g;T;p ) ⎛ p ⎞ 273.15 K Bunsen coefficient, α = j j ⋅⎜ j ⎟ ⋅ (c) ⎜ 0 ⎟ Vs (l;T;p) ⎝ p ⎠ T At ambient pressure, if the partial pressure of the solvent is negligibly small, Vj (g;T;p) ⎛ 273.15 K ⎞ α = ⋅⎜ ⎟ (d) Vs (l;T;p) ⎝ T ⎠ The assumption that substance j is a perfect gas can be debated but the correction is often less that 1%. Oswald Coefficient A given closed system comprises gaseous and liquid phases, at temperature T. The system is at equilibrium such that equation (a) holds. We assume that the thermodynamic properties of the solution and the gas phase are ideal and that an equilibrium exists for chemical substance j between the two phases. The solution is at pressure p0, standard pressure which is close to ambient pressure. µ 0 (g;id;T;p0 ) + R ⋅ T ⋅ ln(peq / p 0 ) j j (e) = µ 0 0 + ⋅ ⋅ j (s ln;id;T;p ) R T ln(c j / c r ) ⋅ = ⋅ ⋅ For a perfect gas, p j Vj (g) n j R T (f) = For a solution, c j n j / V(aq) (g) In these terms V(aq) is the volume of solution which dissolves nj moles of chemical substance j from the gas phase. n ⋅ R ⋅ T 1 µ 0 (g;id;T;p0 ) + R ⋅ T ⋅ ln( j ⋅ ) j V (g) p 0 j (h) n = µ 0 0 + ⋅ ⋅ j ⋅ 1 j (s ln;id;T;p ) R T ln( ) V(aq) c r The Ostwald Coefficient L is defined in terms of reference chemical potentials of substance j in solution and gas phase. ∆ 0 0 = − ⋅ ⋅ = µ 0 0 − µ 0 0 s ln G (T,p ) R T ln(L) j (s ln;id;T;p ) j (g;id;T;p ) (i) ⋅ ⋅ ⎡n j R T V(aq) ⋅ c ⎤ From equation (h), ∆ G0 (T,p0 ) = R ⋅ T ⋅ ln⎢ ⋅ r ⎥ (j) s ln V (g) ⋅ 0 ⎣⎢ j n j p ⎦⎥ ⎡ R ⋅ T ⋅ c ⎤ ∆ 0 0 = ⋅ ⋅ V(aq) ⋅ r s ln G (T,p ) R T ln⎢ 0 ⎥ (k) ⎣⎢ Vj (g) p ⎦⎥ Because V(aq) and Vj(g) are expressed in the same units, the Oswald coefficient is dimensionless. The key assumption is that the thermodynamic properties of gas and solution phases are ideal. Ostwald coefficients can be defined in several ways [4]. In the analysis set out above we refer to the volume of the solution containing solvent and solute j. Another definition refers to the volume of pure liquid which dissolves a volume of gas Vj . 0 = * eq L [Vg / V (l)] (l) A third definition refers to ratio of concentrations of substances j in liquid and gas phases. = L V eq L c [c j / c j ] (m) In effect an Oswald coefficient describes an equilibrium distribution for a volatile solute between gas phase and solution. The Oswald coefficient is related to the (equilibrium) mole fraction of dissolved gas, xj using equation (n) where pj is the partial pressure of chemical substance j and * V1 (l) is the molar volume of the solvent [11]. = ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ * + −1 x 2 {[R T / L p j V1 (l)] 1} (n) Henry’s Law Constant In a given closed system at temperature T, gas and solution phases are in equilibrium. The thermodynamic properties of both phases are ideal. Then according to Henry’s Law, the partial pressure of volatile solute j is a linear function of the concentration cj at fixed temperature. = ⋅ p j (vap) K c c j / c r (o) Kc is the Henry’s Law constant (on the concentration scale) , characteristic of solvent, solute and temperature. Similarly on the mole fraction scale, = ⋅ p j (vap) K x x j (p) This subject, gas solubilities, is enormously important. We draw attention to some interesting reports concerning solubilities with particular reference to aqueous solutions and the environment [12]. Footnote [1] R. Battino and H. L.

  • THE SOLUBILITY of GASES in LIQUIDS Introductory Information C
    THE SOLUBILITY OF GASES IN LIQUIDS Introductory Information C. L. Young, R. Battino, and H. L. Clever INTRODUCTION The Solubility Data Project aims to make a comprehensive search of the literature for data on the solubility of gases, liquids and solids in liquids. Data of suitable accuracy are compiled into data sheets set out in a uniform format. The data for each system are evaluated and where data of sufficient accuracy are available values are recommended and in some cases a smoothing equation is given to represent the variation of solubility with pressure and/or temperature. A text giving an evaluation and recommended values and the compiled data sheets are published on consecutive pages. The following paper by E. Wilhelm gives a rigorous thermodynamic treatment on the solubility of gases in liquids. DEFINITION OF GAS SOLUBILITY The distinction between vapor-liquid equilibria and the solubility of gases in liquids is arbitrary. It is generally accepted that the equilibrium set up at 300K between a typical gas such as argon and a liquid such as water is gas-liquid solubility whereas the equilibrium set up between hexane and cyclohexane at 350K is an example of vapor-liquid equilibrium. However, the distinction between gas-liquid solubility and vapor-liquid equilibrium is often not so clear. The equilibria set up between methane and propane above the critical temperature of methane and below the criti­ cal temperature of propane may be classed as vapor-liquid equilibrium or as gas-liquid solubility depending on the particular range of pressure considered and the particular worker concerned.

  • Introduction to the Solubility of Liquids in Liquids
    INTRODUCTION TO THE SOLUBILITY OF LIQUIDS IN LIQUIDS The Solubility Data Series is made up of volumes of comprehensive and critically evaluated solubility data on chemical systems in clearly defined areas. Data of suitable precision are presented on data sheets in a uniform format, preceded for each system by a critical evaluation if more than one set of data is available. In those systems where data from different sources agree sufficiently, recommended values are pro­ posed. In other cases, values may be described as "tentative", "doubtful" or "rejected". This volume is primarily concerned with liquid-liquid systems, but related gas-liquid and solid-liquid systems are included when it is logical and convenient to do so. Solubilities at elevated and low 'temperatures and at elevated pressures may be included, as it is considered inappropriate to establish artificial limits on the data presented. For some systems the two components are miscible in all proportions at certain temperatures or pressures, and data on miscibility gap regions and upper and lower critical solution temperatures are included where appropriate and if available. TERMINOLOGY In this volume a mixture (1,2) or a solution (1,2) refers to a single liquid phase containing components 1 and 2, with no distinction being made between solvent and solute. The solubility of a substance 1 is the relative proportion of 1 in a mixture which is saturated with respect to component 1 at a specified temperature and pressure. (The term "saturated" implies the existence of equilibrium with respect to the processes of mass transfer between phases) • QUANTITIES USED AS MEASURES OF SOLUBILITY Mole fraction of component 1, Xl or x(l): ml/Ml nl/~ni = r(m.IM.)

Dry air and moist air. Readings: Turco: p.11-27, 38-43, 366-367, 490-492; Brimblecombe: p. 1-5 1. Composition of air. The word atmosphere derives from the Greek atmo (vapor) and spherios (sphere). The Earth’s atmosphere is a mixture of gases that we call air. Air usually contains a number of small particles (atmospheric aerosols), clouds of condensed water, and ice cloud. NOTE : The atmosphere is a thin veil of gases; if our planet were the size of an apple, its atmosphere would be thick as the apple peel. Some 80% of the mass of the atmosphere is within 10 km of the surface of the Earth, which has a diameter of about 12,742 km. The Earth’s atmosphere as a mixture of gases is characterized by pressure, temperature, and density which vary with altitude (will be discussed in Lecture 4). The atmosphere below about 100 km is called Homosphere. This part of the atmosphere consists of uniform mixtures of gases as illustrated in Table 3.1. 1 Table 3.1. The composition of air. Gases Fraction of air Constant gases Nitrogen, N2 78.08% Oxygen, O2 20.95% Argon, Ar 0.93% Neon, Ne 0.0018% Helium, He 0.0005% Krypton, Kr 0.00011% Xenon, Xe 0.000009% Variable gases Water vapor, H2O 4.0% (maximum, in the tropics) 0.00001% (minimum, at the South Pole) Carbon dioxide, CO2 0.0365% (increasing ~0.4% per year) Methane, CH4 ~0.00018% (increases due to agriculture) Hydrogen, H2 ~0.00006% Nitrous oxide, N2O ~0.00003% Carbon monoxide, CO ~0.000009% Ozone, O3 ~0.000001% - 0.0004% Fluorocarbon 12, CF2Cl2 ~0.00000005% Other gases 1% Oxygen 21% Nitrogen 78% 2 • Some gases in Table 3.1 are called constant gases because the ratio of the number of molecules for each gas and the total number of molecules of air do not change substantially from time to time or place to place.

    Chemistry C3102-2006: Polymers Section Dr. Edie Sevick, Research School of Chemistry, ANU 5.0 Thermodynamics of Polymer Solutions In this section, we investigate the solubility of polymers in small molecule solvents. Solubility, whether a chain goes “into solution”, i.e. is dissolved in solvent, is an important property. Full solubility is advantageous in processing of polymers; but it is also important for polymers to be fully insoluble - think of plastic shoe soles on a rainy day! So far, we have briefly touched upon thermodynamic solubility of a single chain- a “good” solvent swells a chain, or mixes with the monomers, while a“poor” solvent “de-mixes” the chain, causing it to collapse upon itself. Whether two components mix to form a homogeneous solution or not is determined by minimisation of a free energy. Here we will express free energy in terms of canonical variables T,P,N , i.e., temperature, pressure, and number (of moles) of molecules. The free energy { } expressed in these variables is the Gibbs free energy G G(T,P,N). (1) ≡ In previous sections, we referred to the Helmholtz free energy, F , the free energy in terms of the variables T,V,N . Let ∆Gm denote the free eneregy change upon homogeneous mix- { } ing. For a 2-component system, i.e. a solute-solvent system, this is simply the difference in the free energies of the solute-solvent mixture and pure quantities of solute and solvent: ∆Gm G(T,P,N , N ) (G0(T,P,N )+ G0(T,P,N )), where the superscript 0 denotes the ≡ 1 2 − 1 2 pure component.

  • Topic720 Composition: Mole Fraction: Molality: Concentration a Solution Comprises at Least Two Different Chemical Substances
    Topic720 Composition: Mole Fraction: Molality: Concentration A solution comprises at least two different chemical substances where at least one substance is in vast molar excess. The term ‘solution’ is used to describe both solids and liquids. Nevertheless the term ‘solution’ in the absence of the word ‘solid’ refers to a liquid. Chemists are particularly expert at identifying the number and chemical formulae of chemical substances present in a given closed system. Here we explore how the chemical composition of a given system is expressed. We consider a simple system prepared using water()l and urea(s) at ambient temperature and pressure. We designate water as chemical substance 1 and urea as chemical substance j, so that the closed system contains an aqueous solution. The amounts of the two substances are given by n1 = = ()wM11 and nj ()wMjj where w1 and wj are masses; M1 and Mj are the molar masses of the two chemical substances. In these terms, n1 and nj are extensive variables. = ⋅ + ⋅ Mass of solution, w n1 M1 n j M j (a) = ⋅ Mass of solvent, w1 n1 M1 (b) = -1 For water, M1 0.018 kg mol . However in reviewing the properties of solutions, chemists prefer intensive composition variables. Mole Fraction The mole fractions of the two substances x1 and xj are given by the following two equations: =+ =+ xnnn111()j xnnnjj()1 j (c) += Here x1 x j 10. In general terms for a system comprising i - chemical substances, the mole fraction of substance k is given by equation (d). ji= = xnkk/ ∑ n j (d) j=1 ji= = Hence ∑ x j 10.
