Ion-Conductance and Solvation Behavior of Benzyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride in Aqueous Methanol Mixtures

Abstract

Ion-conductance and solvation conduct associated with diverse electrolytes in solvents is recited to be shaped by numerous aspects like density, viscosity, dielectric constant of medium, ion-solvent relations and solvent-solvent actions. Ion-solvent interactions soothe the ion by solvating it. Conductance statistics and viscosity numbers of distant electrolytes is of use in analyzing the ion solvent relations and solvation behavior of the ions. Conductance and ion-solvation behavior of benzyl trimethyl ammonium chloride has been measured in aqueous methanol and aqueous dimethyl formamide of different composition in the temperature range of 283K to 318K. Limiting molar conductance dissociation constant of the ion pair, KC are figured using Fuoss-Kraus Limiting Law. 0 rise with percentage of water in the solvent fusion. KC value is highest in pure aqueous solvent. Walden product is highest in 20% aqueous-methanol mixture signifying that ion-solvent interactions are highest at this composition of solvent combination and Walden .product as a function of the specific ion-solvent interactions including structural effects.
