Therefore, the solubility data of TQ in various (IPA + H2O) mixtures, including pure IPA and pure H2O at 298.2–318.2 K and 0.1 MPa, respectively, are studied and reported in this work. The thermodynamic behavior of TQ in various (IPA + H2O) compositions, including neat IPA and neat H2O, was also evaluated. The solubility parameters for free TQ, neat IPA, neat H2O, and various (IPA + H2O) mixtures free of TQ were also pre- dicted to correlate with experimental solubility data. The activity coefficients of TQ were also determined to evaluate the TQ-IPA or TQ-H2O interactions at the molecular level. The physicochemical data of TQ in various (IPA + H2O) combinations reported in this investigation would be applicable in “purification, recrystallization, drug discovery, prefor- mulation studies, formulation development, and preclinical studies” of TQ at laboratory and industrial scale. 2. Results and Discussion 2.1. TQ Solubility Determination The experimental solubilities of TQ in binary (IPA + H2O) mixtures, including pure IPA and pure H2O at 298.2–318.2 and 0.1 MPa, respectively, are included in Table1. The solubility of TQ in pure IPA and pure H2O are documented well in the literature [7,23,24]. However, there are no reports on solubility values of TQ in binary (IPA + H2O) combi- nations. Some other cosolvents, such as dimethyl sulfoxide, carbitol, and polyethyleen glycol-400, etc., have been studied to solubilize TQ in our previous publication [24]. In this study, only IPA was studied in the solubilization of TQ in H2O. The equilibrium solubility −1 −5 of TQ in neat H2O at 298.2 K was reported as 740.63 µg mL (equivalent to 7.75 × 10 in mole fraction) by Salmani et al. [23]. The mole fraction solubility of TQ in neat H2O at 298.2 K was determined as 8.27 × 10−5 by Ahmad et al. [24]. The mole fraction solubility −3 of TQ in neat H2O at 298.2 K was obtained as 8.25 × 10 in this research (Table1). The equilibrium solubility of TQ in neat IPA at 298.2 K was reported as 165.54 mg mL−1 (equiv- alent to 4.55 × 10−2 in mole fraction) by Kalam et al. [7]. The mole fraction solubility of TQ in neat IPA at 298.2 K was reported as 4.51 × 10−2 by Ahmad et al. [24]. The mole fraction solubility of TQ in neat IPA at 298.2 K was recorded as 4.47 × 10−2 in this work. The mole fraction solubilities of TQ in pure IPA and pure H2O at 298.2–318.2 K have also been reported [24]. The graphical analysis between experimental and literature solubility data of TQ in pure H2O and pure IPA at 298.2–318.2 are presented in Figure2A,B, respectively.

  • 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.)

    Lecture 3. The basic properties of the natural atmosphere Objectives: 1. Composition of air. 2. Pressure. 3. Temperature. 4. Density. 5. Concentration. Mole. Mixing ratio. 6. Gas laws. 7. 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 .

From 0-27 GRAM thermodynamics and winds are based on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Global Upper Air Climatic Atlas (GUACA) climatology. Above 120 km, GRAM is based on the NASA Marsball Engineering Thermosphere (MET) model. In the intervening altitude region, GRAM is based on Middle Atmosphere Program (MAP) climatology that also forms the basis of the 1986 COSPAR Intunational Reference Atmosphere (CIRA). Atmospheric composition is represented in GRAM by concentrations of both major and minor species. Above 120 km, MET provides concentration values for Nz, @. Ar, 0,He, and H. Below 120 km, species represented also include H20, 0% N@, CO, cH4, and COZ. At COSPAR 2002 a comparison was made between GRAM constituents below 120 km and those provided by Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) climatology. No current need to update GRAM constituent climatology in that height range was identified. This report examines GRAM (MET) C0ilstituent.s between 100 and lo00 km altitudes. Discregancies are noted between GRAM (MET) constituent number densities and mass density or molecular weight. Near 110 km altitude, there is up to about 25% discrepancy between MET number density and mass density (with mass density beii valid and number densities requiring adjustment).
