Viscometric Study of n-Hexylammonium and n-Octylammonium perchlorates in Binary Non-Aqueous Solvents Probed by a Physicochemical Approach in the Temperature Ranging 298 - 328K at Atmospheric Pressure

Abstract

Viscosity data were measured for n-hexyl ammonium perchlorate (C6H13NH3ClO4)(HAP) and n-octylammonium perchlorate (C8H17NH3ClO4) (OAP) in acetonitrile (AN), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and their binary mixtures containing 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 mol%DMSO at 298, 308, 318 and 328 K in the concentration range 60-350×10-4 mol.dm-3. The data was further examined to evaluate ion-ion and ion-solvent interactions in terms of the Aand B coefficients of the Jones-Dole equation respectively. A and B coefficients for the studied electrolytes came out be to be positive throughout the whole composition range. However, smaller values of A as compare to B reveal the dominance of ion-solvent interaction over ion-ion interactions especially at 60 mol% DMSO in AN-DMSO mixtures. Thermodynamic parameters like free energy, enthalpy and entropy change of activation of the viscous flow have also been evaluated by using Erying transition state theory.
