Abstract:
Molecular-dynamics simulation results on thermodynamic and transport properties of pure H2S under conditions of practical interest are presented. Our data are in very good quantitative agreement with the scarce experimental data and estimates on thermophysical properties of this substance. Our results serve as a test of the validity of the intermolecular potential used in the simulations as well as the consistency of the existing data in the studied range. New simulation data on thermal conductivity at low temperature as well as in supercritical states are also reported. Furthermore, we present a comparative analysis between the local order in the liquid phase of pure hydrogen sulfide and water, due to the molecular analogies between both substances, and its relation with the formation of H=S bonds. Our results indicate that under the same corresponding thermodynamic states, H2S is a much less structured substance, with a first solvation shell with a dodecahedral order instead of the tetrahedral order observed in water.

Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...

Factors Affecting Activity Coefficient
The activity coefficient value for an ion is close to one when the solution has almost zero ionic strength, i.e., when the solution shows close to ideal behavior. As the ionic strength of the solution increases from 0 to 0.1 mol/L, a decrease in the...
