In this work, the molar conductivities and mean activity
coefficients
of 1-hexyl-3- methylimidazolium bromide [HMIm]Br in the ternary system
[HMIm]Br + ethanol + water were reported using conductometric and
potentiometric techniques, respectively. Conductometric data wereobtained
for [HMIm]Br ionic liquids from 0.0008 to 0.2496 mol·kg–1 on various mass fractions of ethanol in ethanol + water mixtures
((w/w)% = wethanol/wmixture = 0, 10, 20, and
30%) at T = 298.2, 308.2, and 318.2 K. Ion association
constants (K
a
) and limiting
molar conductivities (Λ0) of [HMIm]Br were achieved
by the Fuoss–Onsager equation and utilized to get the thermodynamic
functions. Moreover, potentiometric data were collected for the galvanic
cell of the type: [HMIm]–ISE|[HMIm]Br(m[HMIm]Br),
ethanol (wt)%, H2O (1 -wt) %|Br–ISE in water + ethanol
mixtures (wethanol /wwater+ethanol = 0, 10,
and 20%) over the ionic strength varying from 0.0094 to 1.7437 mol·kg–1 at T = 298.2 and 308.2 K. Thermodynamic
properties modeling was implemented using the Pitzer ion interaction
model and the values of Pitzer ion-interaction parameters β(0), β(1), and C
φ
were evaluated. Then, thermodynamic properties,
such as mean activity coefficients, excess Gibbs free energy, osmotic
coefficients, and solvent activity. were determined.
