We
present fully traceable two-parameter Hückel equations
(with parameters B and b
1) for the activity coefficient of sodium chloride and for the osmotic
coefficient of water in aqueous NaCl solutions at temperatures from
(0 to 80) °C. These equations apply within experimental error
to all thermodynamic data available for these solutions at least up
a molality of 0.2 mol·kg–1. In our previous
study (J. Chem. Eng. Data
2016, 61,
286–306), these equations were successfully tested against
the literature results of electrochemical, isopiestic, and cryoscopic
measurements usually in the temperature range from (0 to 25) °C.
There, a constant value was employed for B, whereas
a linear model with respect to the temperature was utilized for b
1. The linear model was determined from the
values of b
1 at 0 °C and at 25 °C
obtained from freezing-point depression data and from isopiestic and
cell-potential difference data, respectively. In the present study,
these two b
1 values are utilized alongside
the constant value of parameter B but a new quadratic
model is presented for the temperature dependence of b
1. The third data point required for this model is obtained
from the direct vapor pressure measurements of Gibbard et al. (J. Chem. Eng. Data
1974, 19, 281–288)
at 75 °C. The results obtained with this quadratic equation for b
1 agree well with the test results of the linear
model in the previous paper (see the citation above) up to 25 °C.
The most important new test results above that temperature are reported
here. Our quadratic model has additionally been tested with all the
high-precision calorimetric data available in the literature for NaCl
solutions. In this first part (Part 1) of the study, the test results
from the thermodynamic quantities associated with partial molar enthalpy
are reported. In the forthcoming second part (Part 2) of the study,
the results of the quantities associated with the heat capacity of
NaCl solutions will be considered. In the tests of these two parts,
all calculations dealing with calorimetric data are performed in a
new way. Both the calorimetric data and the vapor pressure data (from
both direct and isopiestic measurements) can be predicted using the
new Hückel equations within experimental error in dilute NaCl
solutions from (0 to 80) °C. For comparison, also other Hückel
models are considered and at best these apply up to the molality of
the saturated NaCl solution at various temperatures. Following the
success of the new models, new values for the activity coefficients,
osmotic coefficients, relative apparent molar enthalpies, and relative
partial molar enthalpies for NaCl solutions at rounded molalities
are reported at the end of this Article. We have good reasons to believe
that the new values contain the most reliable ones available for the
given thermodynamic quantities.
