Evaluation of the physical parameters of nano-sized tetrachlorosilane as an inorganic material a mixed solvent using Fuoss-Shedlovsky and Fuoss-Hsia-Fernández-Prini techniques

Abstract

The electrical conductance of nano-sized tetrachlorosilane is measured in 50% mixed solvent of (absolute ethanol-H2O) at various temperatures. The Λ0 (limiting molar conductance) and the KA (association constant) are evaluated via using Fuoss-Shedlovsky (F-SH) and Fuoss-Hsia-Fernández-Prini (FHFP) theories. The standard thermodynamic parameters for association (ΔS°A, ΔH°A& ΔG°A), energy of activation (Ea), hydrodynamic radii (RH) and Walden product (Λ0 η0) are calculated for tetrachlorosilane. These various physical parameters for tetrachlorosilane are evaluated and discussed.
