Abstract
Electrical conductances of tetraalkylammonium iodides, R4NI (R = butyl to heptyl), in different mass % (20 to 80) of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) + nitrobenzene (PhNO2) have been measured at 298.15 K. Limiting molar conductances Λ0, association constants KA, and cosphere diameter R for ion pair formation in the mixed solvent mixtures have been evaluated using the Lee−Wheaton conductivity equation. However, the deviation of the conductometric curves (Λ versus √c) from linearity for the electrolytes in 80 mass % of CCl4 + PhNO2 indicated triple ion formation, and therefore corresponding conductance data have been analyzed by the Fuoss−Kraus theory of triple ions. Limiting ionic molar conductances λ0± have been calculated by the reference electrolyte method along with a numerical evaluation of ion pair and triple ion formation constants (KP ≈ KAand KT); the results have been discussed in terms of solvent properties and configurational theory.
