Vapor pressures and osmotic coefficients of the acetone solutions of three bis(tetraalkylammonium)tetrathiomolybdates at 298.15 K measured by head-space gas chromatography

Abstract

The vapor pressures and osmotic coefficients of solutions of (R 4N) 2[MoS 4] (R = ethyl, n-propyl and n-butyl) in acetone have been measured by head space-gas chromatography (HS-GC). Experimental data for the osmotic coefficients have been expressed by three thermodynamic models including the ionic interaction model of Pitzer, the electrolyte non-random two liquid (e-NRTL) model and the non-random factor (NRF) model. The ability of the models to fit the osmotic coefficient was compared on the basis of the standard deviation of the fittings. The results show that the considered models provide reliable results, but the Pitzer's model gives better results than the NRTL and the NRF methods, especially in the dilute region.
