Recent advances in modeling thermodynamic and transport properties of electrolyte solutions are reviewed. In particular, attention is focused on mixed-solvent electrolyte models, equations of state for high-temperature and supercritical electrolyte systems and transport property models for multicomponent, concentrated solutions. The models are analyzed with respect to their capability of comput...

The solvent dielectric constant is considered an important factor in determining the redox potential of the heme-containing protein cytochrome c in solution. In this study, we investigate the electrochemical response of cytochrome c in aqueous/organic solvent mixtures (100% aqueous buffer, 30% acetonitrile, 40% dimethyl sulfoxide, and 50% methanol), reporting the redox potential (E degrees'), e...

Thermal diffusion forced Rayleigh scattering results on thermal diffusion of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) in ethanol/water mixtures are presented. In water-rich solvent mixtures, PEO is found to migrate towards regions of lower temperature. This is typical for polymer solutions and corresponds to a positive Soret coefficient of PEO. In solvent mixtures with low water content, however, the polymer...

The accurate measurements on density of the binary mixtures of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and sodium dodecyl sulphate in pure water and in methanol(1) + water (2) mixed solvent media containing (0.10, 0.20, and 0.30) volume fractions of methanol at 308.15, 318.15, and 323.15 K are reported. The concentrations are varied from (0.03 to 0.12) mol.l(-1) of sodium dodecyl sulphate in presence of...

the solubility of cdf2 in the mixed solvent (water(1)+ethanol(2)) with mass fraction, w1 = 0.9,was determined by using solvent evaporating method in the presence of various concentrations(0.100, 0.200, 0.300, 0.400, 0.500, 0.600, 0.800 and 1.500 mo1.1)) of naci at 25°c. the values ofsolubility and solubility product constant of cdf2 in the mixed solvent were evaluated at zero ionicstrength upon...

The double-layer contribution to the single-particle thermal diffusion coefficient of charged, spherical colloids with arbitrary double-layer thickness is calculated and compared to experiments. The calculation is based on an extension of the Debye-Hückel theory for the double-layer structure that includes a small temperature gradient. There are three forces that constitute the total thermophor...

The solvent diffusion coefficient D in a solvent-polymer system can be much larger than the ratio a/ , where a is one monomer length (about 0.5 nm) and is the dominant relaxation time measured e.g. by broadband dielectric spectroscopy [1,2]. The discrepancy can be by up to 6 orders of magnitude and more. We propose here that the solvent diffusion is dominated by path in the liquid with fast rel...
