Certain properties of concentrated solutions of indium trichloride, ranging in strength from 9.889 to 0.4070 m, have been investigated. These properties are: density, molar volume, specific and equivalent conductance, degree of ionization, ionization constant, relative viscosity, activities, and activity coefficients of solvent water and of solute. Two interesting results emerge, viz., the specific conductance passes through a maximum at 3.5 m, and, if the ionization of indium chloride is treated as that of a binary electrolyte, the expression α2c/(1 − α) is constant within 10% over the range 6.267 to 0.7363 m (13.90 to 2.122 N).

The conductances, densities, and viscosities of sodium chlorate and of lithium chlorate in the solvents 44.5% dioxane–55.5% water and 64.5% dioxane–35.5% water were determined, at 25 °C, almost up to saturation. The apparent molal volume of the electrolytes, calculated from the density data, was found to be greater in the dioxane–water solvents than it is in water, indicating a decrease in solvation in the mixed solvents. The relative viscosity increased as the dioxane content of the solvent increased, showing a larger ordering effect of the electrolytes as the solvent became less hydrogen bonded and less ordered. The equivalent conductance of both electrolytes was greatly reduced as the dioxane content of the solvent was increased, in accord with predictions based on solvent viscosity and dielectric properties. Also, sodium chlorate was found to be more associated than lithium chlorate in the mixed solvents.

The conductances, densities, and viscosities of aqueous solutions of lithium chlorate have been obtained over the complete range of concentration at 131.8 °C. and up to saturation (and somewhat beyond) at 25.00 °C. The curve of specific conductance versus concentration passes through a maximum which does not shift noticeably in composition with change in temperature. There are no minima on the curves of equivalent conductance versus concentration. The relative viscosity of the solutions decreases with rise in temperature; this is the reverse of the effect usually observed.The experimental results have been compared with the calculated results, obtained by the use of the equations of Wishaw and Stokes and of Falkenhagen.

Aim: The micellization behavior of cationic surfactants have been studied in the presence of food additives. Objectives: Micellization behaviour of cationic surfactants, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) has been studied in water and in various concentrations of salts (food additives) L-glutamic acid, sodium propionate, sodium citrate tribasic dihydrate and disodium tartrate dihydrate at (298.15, 308.15 and 318.15) K. Methods: Two methods used in the present study are specific conductance measurements and spectroscopy (NMR) studies. Results: From the specific conductance(κ), various parameters such as critical micelle concentration (CMC), degree of ionization of micelle (α), standard Gibbs free energy (ΔGom), enthalpy (ΔHom), and entropy (ΔSom) of micellization have also been calculated. Thermodynamic parameters related to the micellization process were also analyzed through NMR studies. Conclusion: The CMC values are influenced by the presence of food additive. The magnitude of CMC values increase with increase in concentration of food additive. In all the cases, enthalpy of micellization, ∆Hom values are found to be negative whereas entropy of micellization, ∆S om values are positive which indicate that hydrophobic interactions play a major role in the micellization process. Also, NMR studies reveal that tartrate and citrate are more hydrated than glutamic acid and propionate, resulting in more downfield shift.

Intermolecular interactions as well as macromolecular conformation affect the rheological and microstructural properties of polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) solutions. The properties of semi-dilute solutions of weakly charged PECs can be controlled by the degree of ionization and solvent composition. In this work, we examined the effect of ethanol as a co-solvent on PECs composed of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) at low pH. The aqueous PECs solution was turbid, indicating formation of large aggregates, whereas PECs solution in water/ethanol (60:40 w/w) was transparent, implying no aggregation, and demonstrated higher relative viscosity than the aqueous solution, implying pronounced network formation. Imaging PECs solution by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrated aggregation, whereas the solution prepared with the mixed solvent revealed almost no phase contrast. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) of PECs in the aqueous solution indicated the presence of aggregates, while PECs in mixed solvent demonstrated a swelled macromolecular conformation with diminished aggregation. PECs with no ionic interactions in the mixed solvent assumes a homogenous network structure, which enables PECs solution processing by electrospinning.

Methods for calculation of specific conductance of ions and micelles and the degree of micelle ionization using conductometric data in various approximations of the Debye – Hückel – Onsager theory were considered. The analysis of the existing calculation methods was carried out to identify their drawbacks and to suggest ways of their elimination. The calculation method of the micellar parameters on the basis of conductometric data using micellar size was modified, and a new formula for determining the degree of micelle ionization was obtained. All calculations using the modified method were performed in the first and the second approximations, and the newly obtained values of the micellar parameters are in greater agreement with the results of other studies. Based on the calculations performed, it was shown that the contribution of micelles to the total conductivity of micellar solution cannot be neglected, since at high concentrations the contribution of micelles exceeds the contribution of counterions and can exceed 50%.

Measurements of conductance and fluidity of silver nitrate and of ammonium nitrate solutions, over a range of concentration varying from 0.05  N to 14  N (silver nitrate) and from 0.08  N to 15  N (ammonium nitrate) have been made. In both cases, a maximum is observed in the specific conductances but in neither case does a minimum occur in the plot of equivalent conductance against concentration. While the equivalent conductance in very dilute solutions is proportional to [Formula: see text], in very concentrated solutions it appears to be directly proportional to C. Temperature coefficients of conductance and of fluidity are evaluated and their theoretical importance discussed. Partial molar volumes of water in these solutions are evaluated.

Alkaline aqueous niobium(V) solutions prepared by dissolving the salt K14Nb12O37•27H2O were studied by means of light scattering and by equilibrium ultracentrifugation by using both schlieren and interference optics. All three experimental methods indicate that the degree of polymerization of the polycondensed niobate anion is no less than 5 and probably has the value 6. The centrifugation data indicate that only one polycondensed species exists in the solutions. The effective charge of the niobate anion appears to be reduced appreciably by the binding of potassium ions to a value of no greater than −2. The behavior of the solutions is very similar to that observed previously with alkaline tantalum(V) solutions, and it appears very likely that the hexameric anion [HNb6O19]−7 found in niobate crystals also exists in aqueous solutions. The niobate is slightly protonated in comparison to the analogous tantalate. The stability of highly concentrated solutions containing this large polycondensed species is probably the result of the existence of a poly-ion with high symmetry which interacts only weakly with the solvent, water.

Liquidus temperatures were measured for concentrated solutions of LiCl, CaCl2, ZnCl2, Zn(NO3)2, NaNO3 and Mg(NO3)2 in dimethyl sulphoxide. Crystalline solvates of salts with dimethyl sulphoxide which separated from these solutions were isolated and subjected to chemical and infrared spectroscopic analyses. It has been proved that in concentrated solutions in the mixed solvent water-dimethyl sulphoxide, the salts are preferentially solvated by dimethyl sulphoxide.
