V. Majer et al., Thermodynamics of aqueous acetic and propionic acids and their anions overa wide range of temperatures and pressures, PHYS CHEM P, 2(13), 2000, pp. 2907-2917
The apparent molar volumes of aqueous acetic acid were determined via densi
ty measurements at 298 K < T < 573 K and 10 MPa < p < 38 MPa. The results w
ere corrected for acid ionization and extrapolated to the standard state of
infinite dilution. The new data have been combined with literature values
of the standard molar volumes and standard molar heat capacities of acetic
and propionic acids, and of acetate and propionate ions. Three correlation
models were tested in the description of the standard thermodynamic propert
ies at superambient conditions for the two acids and their anions. The most
dependable model, inspired by the fluctuation solution theory, has been se
lected for generation of the recommended data. Adjustable parameters of the
model were obtained by simultaneous correlation of the volumes and heat ca
pacities together with experimental dissociation constants of the acid. It
is shown that this model can be used for precise and consistent calculation
s of standard thermodynamic properties of the two acids and their conjugate
ions over a wide range of temperatures and pressures.
