Properties Solutions Experiment II Partial Molal Volume The phase rule in general is written F = C — P + 2. Fora single pha and a single component, F = 1 —1+ 2 = 2. This means that in o to specify the state of a system consisting of one component and phase completely and unambiguously, a minimum of two properti the system must be given. These are usually pressure and temperat since it is experimentally convenient to control these variables. For extensive thermodynamic property Y (such as V, G, H, S, and A) can write, for a one-component system, Y=f(P,T) The total differential is oY oY av-(%) a+ (22) an Y=f(P,T,m,m) and the total differential becomes a= (ar) ar+ (Fr) aT oP Tiny ra or Pyny na +(F) dm +(5,) dm on, PT on, PT ny 501 The partial molal Y is defined as = oY Y;= (5) (11-5) 9n; } p 1 At constant temperature and pressure, Equation 11-3 becomes Y =f(m, m) (11-6) and the total differential becomes Y oY dY= (5) dn + (sn) dn, (41-7) On2} or. 85 Jor which can be written more compactly as dY=Y,dn, + Y,dm (11-8) Of all the extensive thermodynamic properties, the volume is the easiest to visualize; this also holds true for the partial molar volume, defined as Vi= (on) (11-9) On; Pray so that Equation 11-8 can be written dV =V, dn, + Vz dm (11-10) The integrated form of this equation (Klotz, 1950) is V=nV, + mVr (41-11) which is an interesting and surprising result. Let us see why. Partial Molal Volume of Some Real Solutions What is so surprising about this rather innocuous-appearing equation? Well, if a solution is ideal, then its volume is just the sum of the volumes of the solute and solvent: V=anV3+mV3 (11-12) Benzene and toluene form an ideal solution. The volume of 1 mole pure benzene is 88.9 ml; the volume of 1 mole pure toluene is 106.4 ml. Equation | 1-12 states that 88.9 ml benzene mixed with 106.4 ml toluene results in 88.9 ml + 106.4 ml, or 195.3 ml of solution. Common sense suggests that the volumes add up, since the volumes of substances in solution are extensive properties. On the other hand, water and ethanol do not form an ideal solution. The volume of 1 mole pure ethanol is 58.0 ml and the volume of 1 mole pure water is 18.0 ml. However, 1 mole water mixed with 1 mole ethanol does not result in 58.0 ml + 18.0 ml, or 76.0 ml, but rather 74.3 ml! Experit According to Equation 11-11, it is the partial molal volumes th additive or extensive properties. When the mole fraction is 0.5, the p; molal volume of ethanol is 57.4 ml and the partial molal volume of wate is 16.9 ml. With Equation 11-11, we can now calculate the volume g the solution: 2 1 mole X 57.4 ml/mol + | mole X 16.9 ml/mol = 74.3 ml (aL * which is exactly what is observed. Note that the values just cited for partial molal volumes of ethanol and water are only for a partic concentration; in this case, the mole fraction equals 0.5 and applies‘ to the water-ethanol system. Apparent Molal Volume The experimental determination of partial molal volumes is, in princip quite simple and involves the careful measurement of the densities solutions of known concentrations. The calculation is simplified by use of a related quantity, the apparent molal volume of the solute, ¢ Consider the volume of a solution as 7, moles of a solute are added fixed , moles of solvent. The volume of the solution might change shown in Figure 11-1. The volume due to the added solute (per mol is called the apparent molal volume $V.

Partial and Apparent Mola! Volumes from Density \Measurements The Solute. The apparent molal volume is useful because it can be measured easily (as Fig. 11-1 suggests) and because the partial molal volumes of both the solute and solvent can be calculated from measure- ments of the apparent molal volumes. Relating the partial molal volume of the solute to the apparent molal volume is straightforward: partial differentiation of Equation 11-16 with respect to m2 at constant ”% gives R= (5) = oV+ mS} (11-17) Next we wish to relate the apparent molal volume to the usual ex- perimental parameters, namely the molality m and the density d of the solution. Equation 11-15 defines apparent molal volume. The volume V of solution can be expressed as _ Wt. solvent + Wt. solute d _ nM, + mM, _ 1000 + mM, ~ d d Vv (11-18) where M, and M, are the molecular weights of the solvent and solute, respectively. The term 7, V9 in Equation 11-15 is just the volume of the solvent; when the concentration is expressed in molality, the mass of solvent is 1000 g, so the volume of the solvent is nV = 1000/d, (11-19) Exper Substitution of Vand nm V? from Equations 11-18 and 11-19 into Equa tion 11-15 gives us our working equation for experimentally measu; oV, the apparent molal volume, with n equal to m: i ov = L ae + mM _ ad m d da, a where d is the density of the solution and d, is the density of the sok One last point: we should substitute m for n, on the right sic Equation 11-17, and then make the following substitution, since ¢: a linear function of Vm, but not of m (Lewis and Randall, 1961): (#*) - (24m) (2) _3 (#2) am}, \aVm),,\ am },, 2Ve\AVne ‘ When Equation 11-21 is combined with Equation 1 1-17, we obtait working equation for V2: n= (0B) On The Solvent.

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE a Prepare about 100 ml of five solutions of sodium chloride in distilled water ranging in molal concentration from about 0.3 to 3.0. Weigh the solute and solvent with an analytical balance into dry glass- stoppered flasks. The densities of the solutions are measured with an Ostwald- Sprengel pycnometer that has been calibrated by calculating its vol- ume from the mass of water it contains and the density of water (Table 14-2, Chapter 14) at the temperature of the measurement. First, rinse the pycnometer with a few portions of distilled water, followed with a few milliliters of acetone. Fill the pycnometer by dipping one arm into the liquid and pulling the liquid into the vessel with a rubber suction bulb attached to the other arm. With an as- pirator, suck air through it to remove most of the acetone and then dry at about 110°C for 10 to 15 minutes. Let the pycnometer hang in the balance room for 30 minutes before determining the weight of the empty, dry pycnometer. Exercise extreme care in weighing, filling, rinsing, cleaning, - handling, and drying the pycnometer. After the pycnometer is clean, do not touch it with your fingers. Allow it to equilibrate with the humidity and temperature of the balance room for the same time period before each weighing. , After weighing the empty pycnometer, fill it with distilled water and hang it in a 25°C thermostat bath.

Figure 11-3 (continued) are pulled in. After 10 to 15 minutes for temperature equilibration, adjust the amount of liquid so that it is full exactly to the mark at 25°C. Do this by holding a piece of filter paper against the end of one arm of the pycnometer and tilting the pycnometer so that a small amount of water is drawn into the filter paper. Keep the main body of the pycnometer immersed in the thermostat bath while adjusting the water level. It is important to eliminate errors due to variation in the weight of the invisible layer of moisture on the surface of the pycnometer and its supporting hook. Always treat the pycnometer surface in exactly the same manner before weighing. After removing it from the thermostat, wash the outside of the pycnometer with distilled. water, dry it carefully with a clean, dry cloth, and let it hang in the balance room for 10 minutes before weighing. To check your experimental technique, determine the mass of water contained in your pycnometer with two independent mea- surements. They should agree to within +0.01%. If they do not, see your instructor before proceeding. Measure the density of the sodium chloride solutions, taking the same care used in calibrating the pycnometer.

The density of brass is 8.4 g/ml and the density of stainless steel is 7.8 g/ml.

With Equation 11-20 calculate the apparent molal volumes of the solute for each solution, and plot @V against Vm. Determine the slope of the line d¢ vjaVm by least squares, and note the standard deviation. For each solution, calculate V, and V, with Equations 11-25 and 11~22, respectively. - To ease the tedium of the calculations, two computer programs are given in Figures 11-3 and 11-4. They could easily be linked together with a least-squares program into a single program that would calculate all the required quantities by simply furnishing the molalities and den- sities. It is preferable, however, to plot the apparent molal volumes and critically examine the data before proceeding. If you use a computer to carry out the calculations, furnish a sample calculation for one solution verifying the output for the apparent molal volume, and the partial molal volume for the solute and solvent for the given molality.
