Re-Evaluation of the Activity Coefficients of Aqueous Hydrochloric Acid Solutions up to a Molality of 2.0 Using Two-Parameter Hückel and Pitzer Equations. Part II. Results from 0 to 95°C

摘要

Simple two-parameter Hückel and Pitzer equations were used for the calculation of the activity coefficients of aqueous hydrochloric acid at temperatures 0–60°C up to a molality of 2.0 mol-kg−1. The data obtained by Harned and Ehlers(2,3) on galvanic cells without a liquid junction were used in the parameter estimations of these equations. These data consist of sets of measurements at the temperature intervals of 5°C. It was observed that all estimated parameters follow very simple equations with respect to temperature. They are either constant or depend linearly on the temperature. The values for the activity coefficient parameters calculated by these simple equations are recommended here. The recommended parameter values were tested by predicting the data of Gupta, Hills, and Ives,(5) consisting of cell measurements from 5 to 45°C and molalities up to 1.0 mol-kg−1, and the data of Bates and Bower,(4) which extend to 95°C but measurements were only made on molalities less than about 0.1 mol-kg−1. The activity coefficients obtained by the new equations were also compared to those calculated by the Pitzer equations with the parameter values determined by Saluja, Pitzer, and Phutela(6) from calorimetric data. The agreement observed was excellent up to a molality of 1.5 mol-kg−1 at temperatures from 0 to 60°C.
