Enthalpic interactions in aqueous strong electrolytes upon addition of ionic liquids

Abstract:
The present study deals with the inter-ionic interactions between strong electrolytes and ionic liquids based on the thermodynamic properties such as excess partial molar enthalpy, HEIL, relative apparent molar enthalpy, φL, and the enthalpic interaction parameters. The thermodynamic properties of the systems are the key indicators to understand the interionic interactions. We have conducted a systematic investigation of the enthalpic behavior of aqueous solution of salts and ionic liquids and their mixtures. The present study also emphasizes how the HEIL values for the mixture of aqueous solution of ionic liquids and salts deviate from linearity as compared to those of the constituent aqueous ionic liquid or salt. This deviation from linearity for the HEIL values has been discussed here.

The colligative properties of a solution depend only on the number, not on the identity, of solute species dissolved. The concentration terms in the equations for various colligative properties (freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure) pertain to all solute species present in the solution. Nonelectrolytes dissolve physically without dissociation or any other accompanying process. Each molecule that dissolves yields one...

Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...

When atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration they form ions. Ionic bonds are electrostatic attractions between ions with opposite charges. Ionic compounds are rigid and brittle when solid and may dissociate into their constituent ions in water. Covalent compounds, by contrast, remain intact unless a chemical reaction breaks them.

When ionic compounds dissolve in water, the ions in the solid separate and disperse uniformly throughout the solution because water molecules surround and solvate the ions, reducing the strong electrostatic forces between them. This process...
