Solute‐Solute Interactions in Aqueous Solutions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors interpreted solvent-solute interactions in aqueous solutions of nonelectrolytes using both lattice and distribution function theories of the dissolved state.
Abstract: Solute‐solute interactions in aqueous solutions of nonelectrolytes are interpreted using both lattice and distribution function theories of the dissolved state. Experimental activity data of high precision can be obtained from the literature for aqueous solutions of many nonelectrolytes. If the logarithm of the solvent activity coefficient (γ1) is expressed as a power series in the mole fraction of the solute (x2), lnγ1 = Bx22 + Cx23 + ···, then the coefficients B and C can be determined analytically from the experimental measurements. Values of B were obtained for 52 aqueous mixtures; values of C were obtained for 39 of these mixtures. The solutes considered include aliphatic alcohols, amines, amides, ketones, fatty acids, amino acids, and sugars. In some cases, experimental data were available from which the temperature dependence of the quantities B and C could also be determined. The effect of solute size on the coefficients B and C was investigated using the lattice theories of Flory, Huggins, and Gu...

TL;DR: In this article, the enthalpy of dilution of all one-and two-solute aqueous mixtures of a series of compounds were measured from about 0.2 to 2.0 mole-kg−1 at 25°C.
Abstract: The enthalpy of dilution of all one-and two-solute aqueous mixtures of a series of compounds were measured from about 0.2 to 2.0 mole-kg−1 at 25°C. The compounds included in the study wereN-methylformamide,N-methylacetamide,N-methylpropionamide,N-butylacetamide, urea, ethylene glycol, pentaerythritol, glucose, and sucrose. The results of the enthalpy measurements were used to calculate the pairwise enthalpy of interaction for each compound with all the other compounds. A simple additivity principle is used to correlate the data. The principle assumes that each functional group on one molecule interacts with every functional group on the other molecule and that each of these interactions has a characteristic effect on the enthalpy that is independent of the positions of the functional groups in the two molecules. The resulting equation gives a rough but useful correlation of the results. Of the six interactions between the CH2, CONH, and CHOH functional groups, the CONH−CONH interaction is the strongest, the CHOH−CHOH interaction is the weakest, and the CH2−CH2 interaction is about equal in magnitude to the rest of the interactions. Thus, the CH2−CH2 and CONH−CONH are not the only interactions making important contributions to the enthalpy of a wide variety of systems.

TL;DR: In this article, the core repulsion and solvation-layer overlap terms in the potential for the interaction of two solute molecules are analyzed in terms of amodel which specifies the solvation layer overlap terms.
Abstract: The coefficients which measure the contribution of a pair of solute molecules to the excess enthalpy have been measured in water at 25°C for all pairs of alcohols which can be formed from the series methyl to n-butyl plus t-butyl as well as for ethanol with some of the higher alcohols and with the n-alkyl sulfonates through octyl. The methylene-group contribution to these coefficients is readily identifiable in suitable cases. These data and the corresponding free-energy and volume coefficients, where they are known, are analyzed in terms of amodel which specifies the core repulsion and solvation-layer overlap terms in the potential for the interaction of two solute molecules. The latter term has an adjustable parameter, the so-called Gurney free-energy parameter which is adjusted for each solute pair to fit the free-energy data. Its temperature and pressure derivatives are adjusted to fit the enthalpy and volume data, respectively. These parameters are compared with the corresponding thermodynamic coefficients of solvation as far as possible.

TL;DR: In this article, the enthalpies of solution of urea (U) in water (W)-tert-butanol (TBA) mixtures and of TBA in W-U mixtures were measured with a solution calorimeter and a flow microcalorimeter.
Abstract: The enthalpies of solution of urea (U) in water (W)-tert-butanol (TBA) mixtures and of TBA in W-U mixtures, the enthalpies of dilution of TBA in W, and the enthalpies of mixing of U and TBA aqueous solutions were measured with a solution calorimeter and a flow microcalorimeter. Enthalpies of transfer of U and TBA to the mixed solvents were derived. Also, pair and triplet interaction parameters between the various solutes were derived from the mixing and dilution experiments. The enthalpic pair parameter hU-TBA is positive, suggesting that the main contribution to this parameter is the decrease in hydrophobic hydration of TBA in the presence of U.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Kirkwood-Buff integrals Gij defined by Gij =∫∞0 [gij(r) −1] 4πr2dr=f(a,V,K), (i=1,2; j= 1,2), have been calculated in the whole concentration range.
Abstract: From accurate data of activities (a), partial molar volumes (V), and compressibility (K) of binary aqueous mixtures, the so‐called Kirkwood–Buff integrals Gij defined by Gij=∫∞0 [ gij(r) −1] 4πr2 dr=f(a,V,K), (i=1,2; j=1,2), have been calculated in the whole concentration range Fourteen water(1)‐organic cosolvent(2) systems [methanol, ethanol, 1‐propanol, 1‐butanol, 2‐methyl‐2‐propanol, acetonitrile, acetone, dimethylsulfoxide, tetrahydrofuran, piperidine, pyridine, 1,4‐dioxane, 2‐aminoethanol, 2‐(dimethylamino)ethanol] have been studied at 25 °C, and two (methanol and ethanol) also at different temperatures The Gij functions show these features in relation to the molecular structures of component 2: (1) when this component presents a large nonpolar moiety, extrema are exhibited by Gij’s at certain concentrations the more marked the larger the nonpolar portion; (2) when component two is bifunctional, Gij trend is monotonic with concentration; (3) in the temperature range 0–90 °C, G22 increases and G12

TL;DR: The chapter reviews that the denaturation is a process in which the spatial arrangement of the polypeptide chains within the molecule is changed from that typical of the native protein to a more disordered arrangement.
Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter explores that the changes that take place in the protein molecules during denaturation constitute one of the most interesting and complex classes of reactions that can be found either in nature or in the laboratory These reactions are important because of the information they can provide about the more intimate details of protein structure and function They are also significant because they challenge the chemist with a difficult area for the application of chemical principles The chapter reviews that the denaturation is a process in which the spatial arrangement of the polypeptide chains within the molecule is changed from that typical of the native protein to a more disordered arrangement The chapter also discusses the classification of protein structures: primary, secondary, and tertiary structures The primary structure is that expressed by the structural chemical formula and depends entirely on the chemical valence bonds that the classical organic chemist would write down for the protein molecule The secondary structure is the configuration of the polypeptide chain that results from the satisfaction of the hydrogen bonding potential between the peptide N-H and C=O groups The tertiary structure is the pattern according to which the secondary structures are packed together within the native protein molecule The term “denaturation” as used in this chapter is indented to include changes in both the secondary and tertiary structures

TL;DR: In this paper, a statistical treatment of high polymer solutions has been carried out on the basis of an idealized model, originally proposed by Meyer, which is analogous to the one ordinarily assumed in the derivation of the ''ideal'' solution laws for molecules of equal size.
Abstract: A statistical mechanical treatment of high polymer solutions has been carried out on the basis of an idealized model, originally proposed by Meyer, which is analogous to the one ordinarily assumed in the derivation of the ``ideal'' solution laws for molecules of equal size. There is obtained for the entropy of mixing of n solvent and N linear polymer molecules (originally disoriented), ΔS=−k[(n/β) ln v1+N ln v2] where v1 and v2 are volume fractions and β is the number of solvent molecules replaceable by a freely orienting segment of the polymer chain. This expression is similar in form to the classical expression for equal‐sized molecules, mole fractions having been replaced by volume fractions. When the disparity between the sizes of the two components is great, this expression gives entropies differing widely from the classical values, which accounts for the large deviations of high polymer solutions from ``ideal'' behavior. The entropy of disorientation of a perfectly arranged linear polymer is found t...

TL;DR: The first and second papers in this series, which make it possible to interpret entropy data in terms of a physical picture, are applied to binary solutions, and equations are derived relating energy and volume changes when a solution is formed to the entropy change for the process as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The ideas of the first and second papers in this series, which make it possible to interpret entropy data in terms of a physical picture, are applied to binary solutions, and equations are derived relating energy and volume changes when a solution is formed to the entropy change for the process. These equations are tested against data obtained by various authors on mixtures of normal liquids, and on solutions of non‐polar gases in normal solvents. Good general agreement is found, and it is concluded that in such solutions the physical picture of molecules moving in a ``normal'' manner in each others' force fields is adequate. As would be expected, permanent gases, when dissolved in normal liquids, loosen the forces on neighboring solvent molecules producing a solvent reaction which increases the partial molal entropy of the solute.Entropies of vaporization from aqueous solutions diverge strikingly from the normal behavior established for non‐aqueous solutions. The nature of the deviations found for non‐polar solutes in water, together with the large effect of temperature upon them, leads to the idea that the water forms frozen patches or microscopic icebergs around such solute molecules, the extent of the iceberg increasing with the size of the solute molecule. Such icebergs are apparently formed also about the non‐polar parts of the molecules of polar substances such as alcohols and amines dissolved in water, in agreement with Butler's observation that the increasing insolubility of large non‐polar molecules is an entropy effect. The entropies of hydration of ions are discussed from the same point of view, and the conclusion is reached that ions, to an extent which depends on their sizes and charges, may cause a breaking down of water structure as well as a freezing or saturation of the water nearest them. Various phenomena recorded in the literature are interpreted in these terms. The influence of temperature on certain salting‐out coefficients is interpreted in terms of entropy changes. It appears that the salting‐out phenomenon is at least partly a structural effect. It is suggested that structural influences modify the distribution of ions in an electrolytesolution, and reasons are given for postulating the existence of a super‐lattice structure in solutions of LaCl3 and of EuCl3. An example is given of a possible additional influence of structural factors upon reacting tendencies in aqueous solutions.
