Thermodynamics of aqueous EDTA systems: Apparent and partial molar heat capacities and volumes of aqueous EDTA4−, HEDTA3−, H2EDTA2−, NaEDTA3−, and KEDTA3− at 25 °C. Relaxation effects in mixed aqueous electrolyte solutions and calculations of temperature dependent equilibrium constants

Abstract

Calorimetric and densimetric measurements have led to apparent molar heat capacities and volumes for aqueous solutions of the mixed electrolytes [(CH3)4N]4EDTA + (CH3)4NOH, Na4EDTA + NaOH, and K4EDTA + KOH, and single electrolytes Na2H2EDTA and [(CH3)4N]3[HEDTA] at 25 °C. We have analyzed these results in terms of Young's rule and Pitzer's ion interaction model to obtain standard state partial molar heat capacities and volumes of EDTA4−(aq), HEDTA3−(aq), H2EDTA2−(aq), NaEDTA3−(aq), and KEDTA3−(aq) at 25 °C. For these calculations it was also necessary to evaluate the "relaxation" contribution to the measured heat capacities of some solutions. The partial molar heat capacities obtained here have been used with enthalpies from previous investigations for calculations of several equilibrium constants over wide ranges of temperature; volumes can be used for similar calculations of the effects of pressure.
