Of all the extensive thermodynamic properties, the volume is the
easiest to visualize; this also holds true for the partial molar volume,

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. Figure 11-1 shows that

Thus, in Figure 11-1, the volume V of the solution at any particular
added m moles of solute is given by a rearrangement of Equation
11-15:
V=n Vo + moV (11-16)
It should be clear from an examination of Figure 11-1 that it does
not make sense to define an apparent mola! volume for the solvent, since
the number of moles of both solvent and solute cannot be held constant
simultaneously.
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

to 50 ml; five 100-m] volumetric flasks; a rubber bulb for filling the Ost-
wald-Sprengel pycnometer; and clean, dry cotton cloths or tissue paper
to wipe the pycnometers dry. .
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. Be sure that no air bubblesProgram Apparent;

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.

With Equation 11-20 calculate the apparent molal volumes of the

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

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.
