Apparent Molar Volumes of Symetric and Asymetric Tetraalkylammonium Salts in Dilute Aqueous Solutions

The apparent molar volumes, Vφ of tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, tetrabutylammonium, butyltriethylammonium, dibutyldiethylammonium, and tributylethylammonium bromides have been measured at 298.15K in the concentration range from 0.01 to 0.04mol⋅kg−1. The concentration dependence of Vφ is given using the Redlich and Meyer relation. The apparent molar volume at infinite dilution, V∘_φ, and the empirical constant, BV, have been calculated. The CH2-group contribution has been obtained by the additivity rule. The results were interpreted in terms of solute–solvent interactions.
