Abstract
The thermodynamic functions of complex formation of 15-crown-5 ether (15C5) with sodium cation (Na +) in the mixtures of water with acetone at 298.15 K have been calculated. The equilibrium constants of complex formation of 15C5 with Na + have been determined by conductivity measurements. The enthalpic effect of complex formation has been measured by the calorimetric method. The complexes are enthalpy-stabilized but entropy-destabilized in acetone–water mixtures. The effects of hydrophobic hydration, preferential solvation of 15C5 by a molecule of organic solvent and solvation of Na + on the complex formation processes have been discussed.
