Intermolecular Forces03:13

Intermolecular Forces

57.7K
Atoms and molecules interact through bonds (or forces): intramolecular and intermolecular. The forces are electrostatic as they arise from interactions (attractive or repulsive) between charged species (permanent, partial, or temporary charges) and exist with varying strengths between ions, polar, nonpolar, and neutral molecules. The different types of intermolecular forces are ion–dipole, dipole–dipole, hydrogen bonds, and dispersion; among these, dipole–dipole, hydrogen...

Aqueous Solutions and Heats of Hydration

Water and other polar molecules are attracted to ions. The electrostatic attraction between an ion and a molecule with a dipole is called an ion-dipole attraction. These attractions play an important role in the dissolution of ionic compounds in water.
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...

Colligative Properties of Electrolytes
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...

Factors Affecting Activity Coefficient01:17

Factors Affecting Activity Coefficient

759
The extended Debye-Hückel equation indicates that the activity coefficient of an ion in an aqueous solution at 25°C depends on three partially interdependent properties: the ionic strength of the solution, the charge of the ion, and the ion size. 
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...

Osmosis and Osmotic Pressure of Solutions

39.4K
A number of natural and synthetic materials exhibit selective permeation, meaning that only molecules or ions of a certain size, shape, polarity, charge, and so forth, are capable of passing through (permeating) the material. Biological cell membranes provide elegant examples of selective permeation in nature, while dialysis tubing used to remove metabolic wastes from blood is a more simplistic technological example. Regardless of how they may be fabricated, these materials are generally...

Intermolecular Forces in Solutions

33.1K
The formation of a solution is an example of a spontaneous process, a process that occurs under specified conditions without energy from some external source.
When the strengths of the intermolecular forces of attraction between solute and solvent species in a solution are no different than those present in the separated components, the solution is formed with no accompanying energy change. Such a solution is called an ideal solution. A mixture of ideal gases (or gases such as helium and argon,...

Area of Science:

  • Physical Chemistry
  • Fluid Dynamics
  • Electrochemistry

Background:

  • Diffusioosmosis is influenced by hydrodynamic slip and electrostatic correlations, but a unified predictive model is missing.
  • Existing theories separately address these factors, limiting understanding of their coupled effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a mathematical model for diffusioosmosis in charged channels, incorporating both hydrodynamic slip and electrostatic correlations.
  • To investigate the interplay between these phenomena and their impact on ion transport.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Navier slip condition to model hydrodynamic slip at channel walls.
  • Employed the modified Poisson equation to account for ion-ion electrostatic correlations.
  • Calculated diffusioosmotic mobilities for valence-symmetric electrolytes in a charged parallel-plate channel.

Main Results:

  • Hydrodynamic slip can defer or eliminate diffusioosmosis reversal caused by electrostatic correlations, depending on electrolyte valence.
  • Electrostatic correlations significantly limit mobility changes induced by hydrodynamic slip, reducing slip-enhanced ionic transport by up to 60% or an order of magnitude.

Conclusions:

  • The developed model provides a unified framework for predicting diffusioosmosis under coupled hydrodynamic and electrostatic effects.
  • Findings are crucial for understanding natural processes and optimizing applications like colloidal separation, drug delivery, and enhanced oil recovery.
