Abstract

Densities of 1-propanol+water+lithium chloride mixtures have been measured with an oscillating-tube densimeter over a large range of concentrations of the salt and 1-propanol at 288.15, 298.15, 308.15, and 318.15 K. From these densities, apparent molar volumes of lithium chloride in 1-propanol+water mixtures have been calculated for each temperature, and apparent molar volumes at infinite dilution have been evaluated. An empirical correlation for partial molar volumes of lithium chloride in 1-propanol+water mixtures with solvent composition and temperature has been derived.

Introduction

The partial molar volume at infinite solution is an appropriate thermodynamic quantity for elucidating the nature of solute–solvent interactions. Studies on the apparent and partial molar volumes of electrolytes can be used to examine the ion–ion, ion–solvent, and solvent–solvent interactions. However, while extensive data have been obtained for partial molar volume of electrolytes in water and non-aqueous solvents, less attention has been paid to mixed aqueous solvents.

This work is a part of a continuing program about the salt-effect of electrolytes on volumetric properties and vapor–liquid equilibrium of aqueous alcoholic mixtures. In previous papers, we have experimentally determined the density of ternary mixtures of alcohol, water, and several salts [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7] at different temperatures and compositions, and we have calculated the apparent molar volumes of these salts in alcohol+water mixtures. In the present work, we report densities for the 1-propanol+water+lithium chloride system at four temperatures, from 288.15 to 318.15 K.

Densities of aqueous solutions of lithium chloride and partial molar volumes of lithium chloride in water at different temperatures, pressures, and compositions, are readily available in literature. Millero [8], Lobo and Quaresma [9], Krumgalz et al. [10], and Apelblat and Manzurola [11] have shown literature sources of experimental data. In contrast, not many papers have appeared in the literature concerning the volumetric properties of non-aqueous solutions of lithium chloride. Wahab and Mahiuddin [12] have studied methanol solutions, and Orishchenko [13] ethanol, 1-propanol and 1-butanol solutions. The volumetric properties of lithium chloride in some mixed aqueous solvents have been also studied. Hirakawa et al. [14] and Takenaka et al. [15] reported data in methanol+water mixtures, Garcı́a-Pañeda et al. [16] in dimethyl sulfoxide+water, Wadi et al. [17] in ethanolamine+water, and Roy et al. [18] and Jha et al. [19] in tetrahydrofuran+water. Only the paper of Crudden et al. [20] concerns the densities of lithium chloride solutions in 1-propanol+water at 25 and 35 °C, at 10, 20, and 30% (w/w) 1-propanol in mixed solvent.

Materials

The chemicals were 1-propanol (Merck, PA grade) with a stated minimum purity of 99.5 mass% (maximum 0.05 mass% water), distilled water (Merck, HPLC grade), and lithium chloride (Merck, PA grade, >99.0 mass%). The solvents were used directly without further purification, whereas the lithium chloride was desiccated in an oven held at 120 °C for at least 24 h. The experimental density for 1-propanol at 298.15 K (799.50±0.01 kg m−3) agrees well with the values given by Mikhail and Kimel [21], Ortega [22]

Results and discussion

In Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, Table 4, the densities d for 1-propanol (1) + water (2) + lithium chloride (3) mixtures at 288.15, 298.15, 308.15, and 318.15 K are reported, where x1′ is the mole fraction of 1-propanol in the salt free solvent and x3 is the mole fraction of salt in the mixture. From these results, the molar volume of solution V and the molar concentration of salt in the solution c were calculated. These values have been also reported in Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, Table 4.

Conclusions

In this work, accurate experimental density data have been obtained for 1-propanol+water+lithium chloride mixtures at four temperatures, and apparent molar volumes of lithium chloride in 1-propanol+water mixtures have been calculated. Using the Masson [44] equation, apparent molar volumes at infinite dilution have been evaluated. An empirical correlation for apparent molar volumes of lithium chloride in 1-propanol+water mixtures with solvent composition, salt concentration and temperature has

      A literature survey revealed that there are no reported volumetric data for ternary water + 1-propanol + Li2SO4 mixtures at any temperatures and pressures (even at atmospheric pressure). The volumetric and VLE properties of ternary mixtures of electrolytes (lithium nitrate, calcium nitrate, lithium chloride) in water + 1-propanol mixtures were studied previously in several publications by Vercher et al. [5–8] at atmospheric pressure and in the limited temperature range of 288–318 K. The volumetric properties of salts (strontium nitrate, potassium nitrate, strontium chloride, strontium bromide) in aqueous ethanol mixtures were studied by other authors [9–13].

      Only one density data source [75] for liquid water + ethanol + lithium nitrate solutions at atmospheric pressure and 298 K are available in the literature as a function of lithium nitrate (from 0 to 54 wt%) and ethanol (30 and 70 wt%) concentrations. The volumetric properties of electrolytes (strontium nitrate, potassium nitrate, strontium chloride, strontium bromide) in water + ethanol mixtures were studied in several publications by Martínez-Andreu et al. [76] and Peña et al. [77–79] at atmospheric pressure and at temperature of 298 K. Vercher et al. [80–82] also reported volumetric properties of electrolytes (calcium nitrate, lithium nitrate, lithium chloride) in water + 1-propanol mixtures at atmospheric pressure and at temperatures from (288 to 318) K. The density and derived volumetric properties of NaCl, KCl, and LiCl in water + ethanol mixtures has been measured also in works [35,52] at atmospheric pressure using VTD technique.
