Abstract

The ultrasonic velocities (u) and densities (ρ) of tetraalkylammonium perchlorates (R4NClO4, where R = Methyl, Ethyl, Propyl or Butyl) and tetrabutylammonium tetraphenylborate (Bu4NPh4B) solutions have been measured at different salt concentrations in the range (30–500) × 10−4 mol kg1 in binary mixtures of acetonitrile (AN) with methanol (MeOH) containing 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 mol % methanol at 298.15 K. The isentropic compressibilities (Ks) and apparent molal isentropic compressibilities (Ks,φ) of different salts in the solvent mixtures have been calculated. Limiting apparent molal isentropic compressibilities (Kos,φ) for various salts have been evaluated and split into contributions of individual ions i.e., into (Kos,φ)± values. The variation of (Kos,φ)± values with solvent composition shows that Bu4N+ and Ph4B+ have very large positive (Kos,φ)± values which show strong solvophobic interactions in AN and in AN + MeOH mixtures over the entire solvent composition range. These positive values indicate some special type of interactions with the solvent molecules, which increase with the increase of MeOH composition. ClO4 shows much weaker solvation in AN + MeOH mixtures by having some interaction with AN in the AN rich region of the mixtures. The negative values of Me4N+ and Et4N+ ions show strong structural effects which arise due to solute-solvent interactions in MeOH rich region of mixtures.
