Standard heats of formation of uranyl nitrate bis- alcohols - The heats of formation of the his-alcohol compounds have been calculated from the relation (8). ll.H,= 'E.ll.H/ (products)-'E.ll.Ht (reactants) ...

The mean bond dissociation energy of uranium- oxygen (alcohol) bond has been calculated from the following well-knowrr'! steps (10-14): UO.(N0 3 ).(e) +2ROH(I) = UO.(N0 3 ).·2ROH(e); MI, (10) U0 2 (N0 3 h.2ROH(c) = U0 2 (N0 3 ) a- 2ROH(g); su; (11) UO.(N0 3 )2(C)= U0 2 (N0 3 1.(g); sn; (12) 2ROH(I)=2ROH(g); 2ll.Hv (13) UO.(N0 3 ).(g) + 2ROH(g) = UO.(N0 3 ).·2ROH(g); MI g (14) where /::"H; and /::"H; are the heats of sublimation of uranvl nitrate his-alcohol and uranyl nitrate, respectively; /::"H", the heat of vaporization of the alcohol; and /::"Hr., is the gas-phase molecular dissociation energy. Whence, /::"H g = /::"H I + /::"H;- /::"H;-2I::,H v As pointed out earlier" the heats of sublimation data are assumed to be the same for uranyl nitrate and the bis-complexes.

The bond strengths in bis-a1cohol are stronger than the uranium-water bond strengths on account of the electron donating effect of the alkyl groups.

The values of A (at 25°) and B (at 25°) are 0·0049 and0·009 respectively (ref. 17).

I = acetone-water; II = dioxane-water and III = methylalcohol-water.

The different A values for different mixed solventsindicates its dependence on ionic interaction (Table1). The values of A in different solvents followthe order: MeOH-H20 > dioxane-Hgo .» acetone-H20. It is also seen that the A values increasewith the increase in organic solvent in the solventmixture. This may be attributed to the changein the mobility of the ions with a change in thedielectric constant of the medium.

According to Stokes and MillsH, the viscosityof the dilute electrolyte solution incorporate thatof the solvent plus the contribution from three otherfactors, viz. 'Y)E the viscosity increase due to the shapeand size of an ion; 'I)A the increase due to the align-ment or orientation of the polar molecules by theionic field and TJD the decrease in viscosity due tothe distortion ot the solvent structure by the ions.In the present case the B values are always positiveexcept for MeOH-H20 mixtur:s (10. 20 and 30%and where it is zero, B values mcrease III the orderacetone-Hjf) > dioxane-Hsf) > MeOH-H20. Potas-sium ion with greater crystal radii and smallercharge density would have a weak orie~ting effectin the first layer. Therefore, 'Y)E and 7)A will be small.Hence positive B value indicates that the amountof distortion in the vicinity of such Ions, due to thecompetition between the ionic field and bulk struc-ture is small and consequently 'Y)D will be small.Thus when 'Y)E+'I)A>'I)D, B will be positive. SinceB in acetone-Hjf) is more than in dioxane-Hgf), 'l)Din acetone-Hgf) is smaller than in dioxane-Hgt) andin the case of MeOH-H20 mixtures, i.e. up to 30%,7]E+'Y)A = 'fJD, and hence B is zero. At 40 and 50%,ions start orienting the solvent molecules and'Y)E +'Y)A will begin to increase and so B values increase.In the case of acetone-water and dioxane-water,the B values increase with the increase in the organicsolvent content. This may be explained as f~llows:Addition of small amount of acetone and dioxaneenhances the solvent structure, consequently thecontribution from 'Y)E+"fJA increase, thereby increas-ing B values.

organic mixtures containing 10% organic com-ponents were linear and the values of the limitingapparent molal volume (<po) in acetone-water,dioxane-water and methyl alcohol-water mixturesat different solvent compositions obtained fromthe extrapolation of the plot of <p versus Ct to zeroconcentration are sumrnarised in Table 2 along withthe limiting slope (5v). The limiting experimentalslope is positive suggesting electrostatic ion-ioninteraction. If the dielectric constant of the solventis not very high as in mixed solvent or if it is fairlyhigh as in water, and the ions are small, the electro-static ion-ion interaction will be appreciable andan ion will have strong influence On its neighbourif actual association does not occur. Ion associationma y be expected in mixed solvents like acetone-Hjr),dioxane-Hgt) and MeOH-H20 but in pure wateractual association is very unlikely at moderate con-centrations. This effect coupled with ion-solventinteraction seems to be responsible for the positiveslope in the <p versus Ct plots in these systems.Also it can be noted from Table 2 that as thedielectric constant decreases with the increase inorganic solvent, the S; values also increase slightly.The 50 values of the three systems are almost sameas the dielectric constant do not differ much15,16andhence the ion-ion interaction is almost the same.

Further the limiting apparent molal volume (<PO)is found to be dependent on the dielectric constantof the medium as the plot of <poversus 1/fO is linearand the slope of the plot is of the order l\IeOH-H

Henceit can be stated that the ion-solvent interactionincreases with the increase in ability of the organicsolvent to form hydrogen bond.

obtained are found to be in fair agreement withthe experimental values.

The values of A coefficients for different electro-lytes are positive indicating dependence of ionicinteractions on the nature of the electrolytes. Theradii of the anions Cl", Dr- and N03 are almostof the same order14. Hence the ion-ion interactionis expected to be same and this is found to be true.The electrostatic ion-ion interaction and hence thevalue of A is found to increase with the decreasein dielectric constant of the medium, i.e. with anincrease in dioxane content in the solvent mixture.As expected the values of A decrease with the risein temperature for all the salts.

According to Stokes and Mill", the viscosity ofa dilute electrolytic solution incorporates that ofthe solvent plus the contribution from other factorsviz. (i) YJE, the positive increase due to the shapeand size of an ion (ii) YJA, the increase due to th ealignment or orientation of the polar molecules bvthe ionic field and (iii) YJD, the decrease in the viscositydue to distortion of the solvent structure by theions. Therefore the B coefficients can also bediscussed in terms of the viscositv effects at differenttemperatures. With increase in temperature, YJD

decreases because the competition between ionicfield and bulk structure is less. YJE remains fairlyc~mstant and "I)A decreases slowly, so that B is posi-~lve. The negative temperature coefficient of BIS due to the fact that the oriented solvent moleculesin the secondary layer will be less rigidly held dueto the increased thermal motion. This will givea significant decrease in the value of 'f1A. Alsowith increase in temperature, the water ~tructureis broken down and the fluidity is increased (i.e."I)D IS large). The mobilitv of the ion to the firstapproximation is dependent on the fluiclity of themedium in its immediate surroundings and hencethere is a decrease in the B value. .

In the present case, the B coefficients of the saltscontaining Cl: and NO; increase with the increasein temperature (though the increase is less in case
