Abstract
Data of ultrasound velocity dispersion are interpreted as being due to the process of association between the cation Mn 2+ or La 3+ and anion SO 4 2- . The thermodynamic parameters for the formation of inner sphere complexes have been calculated on the basis of the numerical values of relaxation frequencies and of the ultrasound velocity dispersion at different temperatures. The activation energy Ea of the backward reaction of complexation, e.g. the release of the ligand from the first coordination sphere of the cation in MnSO 4 solutions is larger than Ea in La 2 (SO 4 ) 3 solutions. It may be explained by the difference in the coordinated numbers of the cation. The positive value in the internal energy ?H 0 in MnSO 4 solution is interpreted in terms of the hydrational changes during the association process and negative value ?H 0 for the [LaSO 4 ] aq +1 complexes is proposed that the lanthanum-ligand interaction is dominant factor. The amount of inner sphere complexes in MnSO 4 solution is very insignificant occurring only at high concentrations. In the rate determining reaction for complex formation different mechanisms for individual cations are proposed, e.g. the associative interchange Ia for Mn(II) and the dissociative interchange I d for La(III) sulphates.
