1.7.6: Compressions- Isentropic- Neutral Solutes

Granted that \(\phi\left(K_{\mathrm{Sj}} ; \text { def }\right)\) has been measured for solutions containing neutral solutes (at defined \(\mathrm{T}\) and \(\mathrm{p}\)), interesting patterns emerge for the dependences of \(\phi\left(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{Sj}} ; \operatorname{def}\right)\) on molality \(\mathrm{m}_{j}\) and on solute \(j\). Further these dependences are readily extrapolated (geometrically) to infinite dilution to yield estimates of \(\phi\left(K_{\mathrm{S}_{j}} ; \operatorname{def}\right)^{\infty}\). These comments apply to solutions of neutral solutes in both aqueous and non-aqueous solutions; e.g. solutions in propylene carbonate [1] and aqueous solutions of carbohydrates [2].

For dilute solutions of neutral solutes \(\phi\left(K_{\mathrm{Sj}} ; \text { def }\right)\) is often approximately a linear function of the molality \(\mathrm{m}_{j}\).

\[\text { Thus } \phi\left(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{j}}} ; \text { def }\right)=\phi\left(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{j}}} ; \text { def }\right)^{\infty}+\mathrm{b}_{\mathrm{KS}} \,\left(\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{j}} / \mathrm{m}^{0}\right)\]

For aqueous solutions containing ureas, acetamides and \(\alpha,\omega\)-alkanediols, the slope \(b_{\mathrm{KS}}\) is positive. For dextrose(aq), sucrose(aq), urea(aq) and thiourea(aq) φ(; ) K def Sj ∞ is negative. In contrast φ(; ) K def Sj ∞ is positive for dioxan(aq) and acetamide(aq). In other words \(\phi\left(K_{\mathrm{S}_{j}} ; \operatorname{def}\right)^{\infty}\) is characteristic of the solute [3,4]. Group additivity schemes are discussed for \(\phi\left(K_{\mathrm{S}_{j}} ; \operatorname{def}\right)^{\infty}\) with respect to glycylpeptides(aq) [5], amino acids(aq) [6-8] and alcohols [9-11]. With increase in temperature \(\phi\left(K_{\mathrm{S}_{j}} ; \operatorname{def}\right)^{\infty}\) for amino acids(aq) [8] and glycyl dipeptides(aq) [12,13] increases. Particularly interesting in terms of solute-water interactions is the study reported by Galema et al [14, 15] who comment on the calculation of \(\phi\left(K_{\mathrm{Sj}} ; \text { def }\right)\) for solute-\(j\) using equation (b).

\[\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{sj}}(\mathrm{aq} ; \operatorname{def})=\phi\left(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{sj}} ; \operatorname{def}\right)+\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{j}} \,\left[\partial \phi\left(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{s} j} ; \operatorname{def}\right) / \partial \mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{j}}\right]_{\mathrm{T}, \mathrm{p}}\]

This study confirmed the importance of the stereochemistry of carbohydrates on their hydration. A clear contrast is drawn between those solutes where the hydrophilic groups match and mismatch into the three dimensionally hydrogen - bonded structure of liquid water. With increase in solute concentration, the dependence of \(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{Sj}}(\mathrm{aq} ; \text { def })\) on composition is non-linear [16]. For amines(aq) \(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{Sj}}(\mathrm{aq} ; \text { def })\) passes through minima [16].

Chalikian discusses the isentropic compression of a wide range of solutes with reference to group contributions [17], the discussion being extended to proteins [18] and oligopeptides[19].
