A STUDY ON THE SOLUTE-SOLUTE AND SOLUTE-SOLVENT INTERACTIONS OF SOME TETRAALKYLAMMONIUM PERCHLORATES IN AQUEOUS BINARY-MIXTURES OF 2-METHOXYETHANOL FROM THEIR PARTIAL MOLAR VOLUME DATA
B. Das et Dk. Hazra, A STUDY ON THE SOLUTE-SOLUTE AND SOLUTE-SOLVENT INTERACTIONS OF SOME TETRAALKYLAMMONIUM PERCHLORATES IN AQUEOUS BINARY-MIXTURES OF 2-METHOXYETHANOL FROM THEIR PARTIAL MOLAR VOLUME DATA, Journal of the Indian Chemical Society, 74(2), 1997, pp. 108-109
The apparent molar volumes of four symmetrical tetralkylammonium perch
lorates (Me(4)NClO(4), Et(4)NClO(4), Pr4NClO4 and Bu(4)NClO(4)) have b
een determined in 2-methoxyethanol (ME) + water mixtures containing 20
, 40, 60 and 80 mass% of 2-methoxyethanol at 25 degrees. The apparent
molar volumes are extrapolated to zero concentration to obtain the lim
iting values at infinite dilution. Ionic limiting partial molar volume
s have been estimated using the extrapolation method. Ion ion interact
ions are found to be very weak but increase with increasing amount of
5-methoxyethanol in the solvent mixtures. The results have been explai
ned on the basis of the electrostriction effect of the perchlorate ion
and the hydrophobic and size effects of the tetraalkylammonium ions.
