ACTIVITY COEFFICIENTS OF THE ELECTROLYTE AND THE AMINO ACID IN WATER PLUS NANO3 PLUS GLYCINE AND WATER PLUS NACL PLUS DL-METHIONINE SYSTEMS AT 298.15 K

摘要

The activity coefficients at 298.15 K of glycine in water + NaNO3 + glycine system and DL-methionine in water + NaCl + DL-methionine system are reported. The measurements were performed in an electrochemical cell with two ion selective electrodes, a cation and an anion ion selective electrode, each versus a double junction reference electrode. The concentrations of the electrolytes and the amino acids studied covered up to 1.0 molality electrolyte, 2.4 molality glycine and 0.2 molality DL-methionine. The results of the activity coefficients of glycine are compared with the activity coefficients of glycine in water + NaCl + glycine and water + KCl + glycine systems, obtained from the previous studies. The results show that the nature of both the cation and the anion of an electrolyte have significant effects on the activity coefficient of glycine in aqueous electrolyte solutions, The results also show that there are attractive interactions between the molecules of glycine and NaNO3 and repulsive interactions between the molecules of DL-methionine and NaCl.
