Pitzer and Pitzer–Simonson–Clegg Modeling Approaches: Ternary HCl + 2-Propanol + Water Electrolyte System

摘要

Despite its success for modeling electrolyte thermodynamics in aqueous media,the use of the Pitzer approach for the investigation of electrolytes in nonaqueous or in mixed solvent media is still very limited. Further, a review of the literature reveals that there are no more than a few research groups who have used the exact form of the Pitzer–Simonson– Clegg (PSC) ion-interaction approach for the investigation of electrolytes in mixed solvent systems. As a continuation of our previous studies, the present investigation reports modeling of HCl in the 2-propanol + water mixed solvent system with the Pitzer, PSC and an extended form of the PSC ion-interaction approaches using the experimental potentiometric data from a cell containing pH glass membrane and Ag/AgCl electrodes. The electrochemical measurements were performed over the HCl molality range from 0.01 to 4.5 mol·kg1 in mixed 2-propanol (x%)+water (100x%) solvents, with different solvent percent mass fractions (x%= 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50%) at 298.15±0.05 K.
