Item Cibulka correlation for ternary excess molar volumes for [MOA]⁺[Tf₂N]⁻ at different temperatures(2012-08-20) Tywabi, Zikhona; Deenadayalu, NirmalaIn this work, the binary and ternary excess molar volumes have been calculated from the density, ρ, measurements using an Anton Paar (DMA 38) vibrating tube digital densimeter. One component of the ternary systems studied was an ionic liquid. The ionic liquid used is methyl trioctylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [MOA]+[Tf2N]-. Binary excess molar volumes were obtained for (1-butanol + ethyl acetate) and (2-butanol + ethyl acetate) systems at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 313.15) K. Ternary excess molar volumes were obtained for the mixtures {[MOA]+[Tf2N]- + 2-propanol or 1-butanol or 2-butanol + ethyl acetate} at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 313.15) K. The Redlich-Kister equation was fitted to the calculated binary excess molar volume data to obtain the fitting parameters which were used to calculate the partial molar volumes at infinite dilution. The calculated partial molar volume was used to better understand the intermolecular interactions of each component at infinite dilution. The Redlich-Kister parameters were also used in the Cibulka equation and the Cibulka equation was used to correlate the ternary excess molar volume data to give the fitting parameters. The binary excess molar volumes,VmE , for the (1-butanol + ethyl acetate) and (2-butanol + ethyl acetate) are positive at each temperature over the entire composition range. At high mole fractions of the alcohol for the binary systems (2-propanol or 1-butanol or 2-butanol + ethyl acetate), VmE is positive again, similar to the Cibulka ternary correlation. The positive V E m values are due to the breaking of intermolecular interactions in the pure components during the mixing process. The ternary excess molar volume,V E 123 , values are negative for all mole fractions. The negative values are due to a more efficient packing and/ or attractive intermolecular interactions in the mixtures than in the pure liquid. There is also a contraction in volume which can be attributed to electron-donor-acceptor type interactions between the ionic liquid and 2-propanol or 1-butanol or 2-butanol as well as ethyl acetate.Item Excess molar volume and isentropic compressibility for binary or ternary ionic liquid systems(2010) Bahadur, Indra; Deenadayalu, NirmalaThe thermodynamic properties of mixtures involving ionic liquids (ILs) with alcohols or alkyl acetate or nitromethane at different temperatures were determined. The ILs used were methyl trioctylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([MOA]+[Tf2N]-) and 1-butyl-3- methylimidazolium methyl sulphate [BMIM]+[MeSO4]-. The ternary excess molar volumes (�������� E ) for the mixtures {methyl trioctylammonium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide + methanol or ethanol + methyl acetate or ethyl acetate}and (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate + methanol or ethanol or 1-propanol + nitromethane) were calculated from experimental density values, at T = (298.15, 303.15 and 313.15) K and T = 298.15, respectively. The Cibulka equation was used to correlate the ternary excess molar volume data using binary data from literature. The �������� E values for both IL ternary systems were negative at each temperature. The negative contribution of �������� E values are due to the packing effect and/or strong intermolecular interactions (ion-dipole) between the different molecules. The density and speed of sound of the binary solutions ([MOA]+[Tf2N]- + methyl acetate or ethyl acetate or methanol or ethanol), (methanol + methyl acetate or ethyl acetate) and (ethanol + methyl acetate or ethyl acetate) were also measured at T = ( 298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15) K and at atmospheric pressure. The apparent molar volume, Vφ , and the apparent molar isentropic compressibility, κφ , were evaluated from the experimental density and speed of sound data. A Redlich-Mayer type equation was fitted to the apparent molar volume and apparent molar isentropic compressibility data. The results are discussed in terms of solute-solute, solute- solvent and solvent-solvent interactions. The apparent molar volume and apparent molar isentropic compressibility at infinite dilution, ��φ �� and κφ ��, respectively of the binary solutions have been calculated at each temperature. The ��φ �� values for the binary v systems ([MOA]+[Tf2N]- + methyl acetate or ethyl acetate or methanol or ethanol) and (methanol + methyl acetate or ethyl acetate) and (ethanol + methyl acetate or ethyl acetate) are positive and increase with an increase in temperature. For the (methanol + methyl acetate or ethyl acetate) systems ��φ �� values indicate that the (ion-solvent) interactions are weaker. The κφ �� is both positive and negative. Positive κφ ��, for ([MOA] + [Tf2N]- + ethyl acetate or ethanol), (methanol + ethyl acetate) and (ethanol + methyl acetate or ethyl acetate) can be attributed to the predominance of solvent intrinsic compressibility effect over the effect of penetration of ions of IL or methanol or ethanol. The positive κφ �� values can be interpreted in terms of increase in the compressibility of the solution compared to the pure solvent methyl acetate or ethyl acetate or ethanol. The κφ �� values increase with an increase in temperature. Negative κφ ��, for ([MOA] + [Tf2N]- + methyl acetate or methanol), and (methanol + methyl acetate) can be attributed to the predominance of penetration effect of solvent molecules into the intra-ionic free space of IL or methanol molecules over the effect of their solvent intrinsic compressibility. Negative κφ �� indicate that the solvent surrounding the IL or methanol would present greater resistance to compression than the bulk solvent. The φ �� values decrease with an increase in the temperature. The infinite dilution apparent molar expansibility, ��φ �� , values for the binary systems (IL + methyl acetate or ethyl acetate or methanol or ethanol) and (methanol + methyl acetate or ethyl acetate) and (ethanol + methyl acetate or ethyl acetate) are positive and decrease with an increase in temperature due to the solution volume increasing less rapidly than the pure solvent. For (IL + methyl acetate or ethyl acetate or methanol or ethanol) systems ��φ �� indicates that the interaction between (IL + methyl acetate) is stronger than that of the (IL + ethanol) or (IL + methanol) or (IL + ethyl acetate) solution. For the (methanol + methyl acetate or ethyl acetate) systems ��φ �� values vi indicate that the interactions are stronger than (ethanol + methyl acetate or ethyl acetate) systems.Item Excess molar volumes, partial molar volumes and isentropic compressibilities of binary systems (ionic liquid + alkanol)(2009) Sibiya, Precious N.; Deenadayalu, NirmalaThe thermodynamic properties of binary liquid mixtures involving ionic liquids (ILs) with alcohols were determined. ILs are an important class of solvents since they are being investigated as environmentally benign solvents, because of their negligible vapour pressure, and as potential replacement solvents for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) currently used in industries. Alcohols were chosen for this study because they have hydrogen bonding and their interaction with ILs will help in understanding the intermolecular interactions. Also, their thermodynamic properties are used for the development of specific chemical processes. The excess molar volumes of binary mixtures of {1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate + methanol or 1-propanol or 2-propanol}, {trioctylmethylammonium bis (trifluoromethyl-sulfonyl) imide + methanol or ethanol or 1-propanol}, {1-buty-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate + methanol or ethanol or 1-propanol} were calculated from experimental density values, at T = (298.15, 303.15 and 313.15) K. The Redlich-Kister smoothing polynomial was fitted to the excess molar volume data. The partial molar volumes of the binary mixtures {1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate + methanol or 1-propanol or 2-propanol}, {trioctylmethylammonium bis (trifluoromethyl-sulfonyl) imide + methanol or ethanol or 1-propanol}, {1-buty-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate + methanol or ethanol or 1-propanol} were calculated from the Redlich-Kister coefficients, at T = (298.15, 303.15 and 313.15) K. This information was used to better understand the intermolecular interactions with each solvent at infinite dilution. iii The isentropic compressibility of {trioctylmethylammonium bis (trifluoromethyl-sulfonyl) imide + methanol or ethanol or 1-propanol}, were calculated from the speed of sound data at T = 298.15 K.
