Thermodynamically Traceable Calorimetric Results for Aqueous Sodium Chloride Solutions from T = (273.15 to 373.15) K up to the Saturated Solutions: Part 1—The Quantities Associated with the Partial Molar Enthalpy

Abstract

The three-parameter extended Hückel equations with parameters B, b1, and b2 have recently been successfully tested against existing vapor pressure, electrochemical, and solubility data for aqueous NaCl solutions at temperatures from (273 to 373) K (Partanen and Partanen in J. Chem. Eng. Data 65:5226–5239, 2020). In the present study, we extend this model to the apparent and partial molar enthalpy data of these solutions. The enthalpy equations were determined using a new calculation method that gives practically the same results as that used in another previous study (Partanen et al. in J. Chem. Eng. Data 62:2617–2632, 2017), but the new method is much simpler. In the previous enthalpy study, dilute NaCl solutions up to m = 0.2 mol⋅kg−1 were considered in the range from T = 273 to 353 K. Following the success of the three-parameter extended Hückel model within the whole concentration range at various temperatures, we tabulate new values for relative apparent and partial molar enthalpies for NaCl solutions at rounded molalities. The resulting values are extensively tested against the literature ones. The best agreement is obtained for temperatures below 288 K and between 313 and 353 K. Elsewhere, at least a reasonable agreement is obtained. As no enthalpy or heat capacity data were used in the estimation of our model’s parameters and as the model has excelled in explaining other high-precision thermodynamic data, we argue that the recommended enthalpy values should be preferred even for the temperatures where the agreement is only reasonable due to potential problems associated with the literature values. These problems are also considered in the study.Graphical
