Studies of electrolytic conductance in dioxane-water mixtures containing 10, 20 and 30% dioxane have been reported [ 11. The variation in the Walden product with solvent composition and temperature was described and discussed with respect to theories concerning solvent structure and ionsolvent interaction. In the present work, attempts have been made to evaluate the thermodynamic functions for the transfer of NaCl, NaRr and NaN03 from water to the respective dioxane-water media, which would give some information regarding solute-solvent interaction.
MATERIALS
AND
METHODS
The salts and dioxane used were of the Merck Extra Pure grade. Purification of dioxane, preparation of solvents, solutions and measurement of conductance have been reported earlier [l] . The conductance measurement was of an accuracy of &2 in 1000 and the concentration range was from 0.01 to 0.001 mole 1-l.
RESULTS
AND
DISCUSSIONS
plot of A vs. C112 was found to be linear and A0 has been obtained from the extrapolated values at zero concentration. The Walden product is almost constant at all temperatures and at all solvent compositions [ 11. This constancy is presumably due to the contribution of the positive temperature coefficient of the conductivity with the negative temperature coefficient of the viscosity of the solvent. Hence, it is very difficult to predict whether the solvent will h&e a positive or negative effect within the temperature range studied presently (i.e. from 30 to 45°C). Since the dielectric constant of the medium is less, the dissociation constants, H were calculated by both the Fuoss and Krauss [2] and the ShedThe

lovsky [ 33 methods. The results obtained by the two methods were found to be the same. The standard thermodynamic parameters, AGO, A.@ and AS’, have been calculated 141. The plots of AGO, AH’ and ASo vs. solvent composition were found to be linear. The extrapolated values give the thermodynamic parameters for water. The standard thermodynamic quantities (AGO,, m and Ag) for the transfer process from water to 10, 20 and 30% dioxanewater mixtures could be calculated from the values in water and the different dioxane-water mixtures [4] by using the Feakins and Turner method [ 51. These are tabulated in Table 1. The probable uncertainties in AGT are *15 J mole”, in A@ are +18 J mole-’ and in A@ are k0.5 J K-’ mole-’ in all solvent compositions. The standard Gibb’s free energy of transfer, AGO,, is observed to be positive at all solvent compositions and at all temperatures. The positive values indicate that the salts NaCl, NaBr and NaN03 are in a higher free energy state in dioxane-water mixtures than in water, suggesting that water has more affinity for the salts than for dioxane-water mixtures. The values of a and Ae are negative for all the solvent mixtures. So the entropies in dioxane-water mixtures is less than in pure water and hence the net amount of order created by the salts in dioxane-water mixtures is more than in pure water. Since single ion values of tiee energies are not available presently for the solvent mixtures studied, the method adopted by Khoo and Chan I61 was followed to study ion-solvent interaction. Considering that AG& -) are mostly positive, this is qualitatively AG&r -1 and AG& -1 - AG&oj, in agreement with the Born theory, which predicts that bromide ion should be in a lower free energy state than the chloride ion and nitrate lower than bromide in mixed solvents of lower dielectric constant than water. Therefore, the Born equation may be expected to fit increasingly better as the dioxane content of the mixture is increased. The same observations were made by Fez&ins and Turner [ 51. It may be possible to split the AG: values into two parts as Roy et al. [7] have done, i.e. a “non-electrostatic” or “chemical” contribution, denoted in their terminology by AGO,,. h ), and an electrostatic contribution, AGO,,, 1j, which has been calculated from the Born equation.

F’rom a knowledge of AGO, and ASO,,,,, , the electrostatic part of the enthalpy change has been computed. The chemical contribution of the free energy of transfer, AGttCh), entropy of transfer, ASO,(chj, and enthalpy of transfer, m(,,, can then be obtained by subtracting the respective electrostatic contribution values from the molar quantities. These values are presented in Table 2. It is evident from an examination of the Table 2 that the chemical contribution of the free energy of transfer is negative in almost all cases and hence is thermodynamically favourable as far as the chemical interactions are con. cemed. Smce AGO,,. 1j is positive, the lower the value, the greater is the ionsolvent interaction. Hence, from Table 2 it can be said that the ionsolvent interaction is in the order NO; > Br- > Cl-, which is in accordance with our viscosity and apparent molar volume results [ 81. Al?&.,, is negative, whereas is positive, and both increase with increase in dioxane content. ~W.0 is negative in all cases and becomes more negative with increase in AZ,.,, dioxane content, indicating the order in the solvent structure. With a few exceptions, @, Ch) is positive and is almost independent of temperature. It increases with increase in dioxane content, indicating the chemical interaction.
