Authors:

Abstract and Figures

Conductivity method is used for the study of the dissolution of Ca(OH) 2 in water and in mixed solvent systems. The thermodynamic parameters for the dissolution of Ca(OH)2 such as ∆G°, ∆S°, ∆H° were calculated from solubility values at different temperatures in aqueous medium and in mixed solvent systems (Water+1-propanol, water+2- propanol,water+DMSO and water + THF). It was found that the solubility and solubility product of Ca(OH) 2 significantly decreased linearly by increasing percentage composition of the mixed solvent systems. The Gibbs free energy ΔG°, enthalpy ΔH° and ΔS° were also changed. These results were in agreement with the dielectric constant value of the solvents used in the study.

Introduction
Calcium Hydroxide has great application in the eld of metallurgy,
agriculture, paper and glass industry. It is also used in soil amendment
to supply calcium to crops [1,2]. It is widely used in manufacturing
of steel, chemicals, cement and glass. It is also be used to control air
pollution, water and sewage wastewater treatment, diluents and carriers
of pesticides such as lime-sulfur, Bordeaux mixture, bleach production,
and other chemical substance [2,3]. It is also used in paper industry to
dissolve lignin as for the coagulation [2,3].
In the present research work, conductometric titration was used
for the study of the inuence of mixed solvent system on the solubility
of Ca(OH)2.
e study of equilibrium for many chemical reactions has taken into
consideration for the determination of thermodynamic investigation.
e molar solubility “S” solubility product and Gibbs free energy is
determined from following equation [1],
Ksp = [Ca+2] [2OH-]2 = 4S3 (1)
∆G = -R T l n (Ksp) (2)
Where “R” is a universal gas constant, T is the absolute temperature
and ∆Go is the Gibbs free energy ∆Go is related to ∆Ho and ∆So by the
following equation [1].
∆G°= H°- T∆S° (3)
e value of ∆G° calculated at two dierent temperatures T1 and T2
provide the values of ∆H° and S° over a small temperature range.
In previously reported only the study of simple conductomertic
titration of Ca(OH)2 in aqueous medium at 25 and 100°C. In present
work reported the eect of solvent on the dissolution Ca(OH)2.

Abstract
Conductivity method is used for the study of the dissolution of Ca(OH)2 in water and in mixed solvent systems.
The thermodynamic parameters for the dissolution of Ca(OH)2 such as ∆G°, ∆S°, ∆H° were calculated from solubility
values at different temperatures in aqueous medium and in mixed solvent systems (Water+1-propanol, water+2-
propanol,water+DMSO and water + THF). It was found that the solubility and solubility product of Ca(OH)2 signicantly
decreased linearly by increasing percentage composition of the mixed solvent systems. The Gibbs free energy ΔG°,
enthalpy ΔH° and ΔS° were also changed. These results were in agreement with the dielectric constant value of the
solvents used in the study.

the addition of each volume (ml) of Standard HCl (0.03 ± 1 N) by
the mutual exchange of H+ and OH ions from acid with analyte aer
the equivalence point, conductance of mixture is raised sharply in
increasing the H+ ion in solution. is is shown in Figure 1.
e equivalence point of the Ca(OH)2 was also shied with change
of the composition of solvent systems which is shown in Figure 2. In
general decreasing phenomenon was observed in each composition
of (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%) of (1- propanol +water)
solvent system at 5 and 30 ± 1°C. Similar trend was also observed in
2-propanol, DMSO and THF. However the dissolution of Ca(OH)2
was decreased slightly and by increasing temperatures. e reversed
trend in dissolution against temperature, in Ca(OH)2 was found due
to its lattice energy. e solvation of ion was possibly inuenced by
temperature in two ways. For instance it has been reported that ions-
ions interaction is usually decreased by increasing temperature that
results in the solvation of ions which enhances by rise in temperature
[4-7]. However, the solvation of ions may inversely be inuenced by
the rise in temperature, were a possible decrease in solvation occurs
with the rise in temperature.
e solubility of the various soluble salts in solutions in aqueous
medium were calculated at 25°C, but this paper the solubility of
Ca(OH)2 were studied in mixed solvent systems notice able thing is that
the solubility of Ca(OH)2 V/S dierent % composition of mixed solvent
systems is showed linear pattern at 5 and 30 ± 1°C which is shown
in Figure 3. ese decreasing patterns of the solubility of Ca(OH)2 in
mixed solvent systems due to decreasing the dielectric constant value
of the solvent (Table 3).
e Ksp values of Ca(OH)2 were decreased with the increase in
percentage composition of mixed solvent systems up to 30%. Beyond
this composition they remained unchanged in all mixed solvent
systems at all temperatures; however, this trend was comparatively
similar to that of solubility which is shown in Figure 4.
e plot of Δ°G of Ca(OH)2 V/S solvent composition were found
to be linear at all temperatures. is linear increasing trend with
increasing percentage composition in all these mixed solvent systems
is almost similar up to 30% solvent composition, although having a
lessers gradient. Above 30% to 50% this response was prominent in
Ca(OH)2. e maximum change in Δ°G was determined in Ca(OH)2.

is can be explained on the bases of change in structure change,
dielectric constant values, ion solvation, crystal forces and ionic radius
of the Ca(OH)2 positive value of the Δ°G explain that the solubility
of the Ca(OH)2 is very low [7]. In other words these Ca(OH)2 when
dissolved in these mixed solvent systems followed non-spontaneous
dissolution process in forward direction hence, producing positive
values of Δ°G [7-10].
However the Ca(OH)2 are unfortunately less soluble and has
low dissolution in water and mixed solvent system., the dissolution
enthalpies of the Ca(OH)2 could not measured directly but have only
been evaluate by using formula which explain earlier [11-16] (Table 4).
e enthalpy and entropy values of Ca(OH)2, in mixed solvent
systems showed almost similar and linear trend. e entropy values of
the systems having some scattering having positive and negative values,
within percentage composition of mixed solvent system (0–50%).
In general it can be concluded that the values of enthalpy followed
almost similar behavior with respect to enthalpy changes in these
mixed solvent systems and showed both positive as well as negative

behavior similar to the trend reported in the literature [8]. e reason
of such trend as explained in the reported work is the possibility of
destabilization of Ca(OH)2 in some solvent media decreasing enthalpy
range, within a narrow range, which was also appeared in the present
research work. Positive and negative enthalpy values conrmed that
the destabilization of Ca(OH)2 in these mixed solvent systems similar to
reported work [9]. However, the enthalpies and entropies of Ca(OH)2
obtained in this way to small changes of the solubility data so that the
values calculated from the reported solubility data scatter considerably.
Eect of time on Conductivity at room temperature in mixed
solvent systems
Conductivity of Ca(OH)2 both in the presence and absence of
mixed solvent systems was gradually decreased with increasing the
percentage composition which is shown in Figures 5-7. e reason
of this behavior may be correlated with the possible association of
the Ca(OH)2 resulting decrease in the OH- conc. conrmed of low
conductance values. e other mixed solvent systems were not tried
due to instability of the test electrode probe, which was found to be
eected in THF and DMSO solvent system, therefore these solvent
system were not include this comparative study [17-21].

The significant decrease in the ∆S° values comparative to the reported value is due to the determination of ∆G° at slightly lower temperatures compared to the reported temperature (the present work ∆G° were obtained at 293 ± 1K and 343 ± 1K, while in reported work it was inferred at 298 ± 1K and 373 ± 1K and 277 ± 1K and 303 ± 1K [13,17]. ...

In the present study the dissolution of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2 in water as well as in mixed solvents systems such as (methanol + water), (ethanol + water), (1-propanol + water) and (2-propanol + water) in 0-25 percentage compositions range at 293 ± 1K and 343 ± 1K or (328 ± 1K in case of methanol) was undertaken for the determination of solubility, solubility product constant (Ksp),Gibbs free energy change (ΔGo), entropy change (ΔS°) and enthalpy change (H°) by pH-metric method. It was found that the equivalence point was decreased linearly by the increasing of the percentage composition of the mixed solvents systems. This represents that solubility and KSP values are linearly decreased. The solubility of Ca(OH)2 was decreased at higher temperature compared to room temperature. Furthermore, methanol produced minimum decreased due to its high value of dielectric constant while in 2-propanol showed maximum decreased in solubility and KSP values. On the other hand Go values were linearly increased against percentage composition of mixed solvents systems. Entropy and Enthalpy values were also changed in mixed solvent systems.

This study aims to determine the effect of the ratio of methanol and water on the characteristics of the CaCo3 produced through the fine bubble diffuser method. Methods: Synthesis of calcium carbonate by CO2 carbonation method using fine bubble diffuser to produce fine CO2 bubbles (bubble size range 100-500 nm). The Ca(OH)2 precursor was dissolved in various ratios of water and methanol mixtures, namely: 25% water 75% methanol, 20% water 80% methanol, 15% water 85% methanol, 10% water 90% methanol, 5% water 95% methanol, and 100% methanol. The suspension was carbonated using CO2 fine bubbles for 2 hours to produce CaCO3 powder. The resulting calcium carbonate powder was tested with FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra Red), PSA (Particle Size Analyzer), and Zeta-Potential. Results: The FTIR test obtained the wave numbers of calcite (712 cm-1), vaterite (744, 873, 874, and 875 cm-1) and aragonite (848, 849, and 854 cm-1) phases in the six variations of the solvent used. The PSA test showed that the particle size produced was submicron with the smallest size being 191.1 nm and the largest being 576.2 nm. The ZetaPotential test showed that the particles were relatively stable in solution with a Zeta-Potential value range of -15.1 mV to -20.8 mV and particles with moderate stability -21.2 mV to -25.1 mV. Conclusion: The addition of the organic solvent methanol to water increases the solubility of CaOH and increases the formation of the vaterite phase. Increasing the amount of water decreases the amount of vaterite phase, increasing the particle size and zeta potential value. but the addition of 15% water decreases the particle size of CaCO3 KEY WORDS CaCO3, fine bubble diffuser, FTIR, PSA, zeta potential Pengaruh perbandingan campuran pelarut air dan metanol terhadap karakteristik CaCO3 melalui metode fine bubble diffuser sebagai biomaterial kedokteran gigi ABSTRAK Pendahuluan: Kalsium karbonat (CaCO3) merupakan salah satu sumber kalsium yang umum digunakan di bidang biomaterial kedokteran gigi.

Suspensi Ca(OH)2 dikarbonasi menggunakan gelembung halus CO2 selama 2 jam untuk menghasilkan bubuk CaCO3. Bubuk CaCO3 yang dihasilkan diuji dengan FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra Red), PSA (Particle Size Analyzer), dan ZetaPotential. Hasil: Uji FTIR didapatkan bilangan gelombang fasa kalsit (712 cm-1 ), vaterit (744, 873, 874, dan 875 cm-1 ) dan aragonit (848, 849, dan 854 cm-1 ) pada keenam variasi pelarut yang digunakan. Uji PSA didapatkan ukuran partikel terkecil 191,1 nm dan terbesar 576,2 nm. Partikel relatif stabil dalam larutan berdasarkan Uji Zeta-Potential (-15,1 mV sampai -17,8 mV) dan stabilitas moderat (-20,8 mV sampai -25,1 mV). Simpulan: Penambahan pelarut organik methanol pada pelarut air meningkatkan kelarutan CaOH dan meningkatkan pembentukan fasa vaterite. peningkatan jumlah air menurunkan jumlah fasa vaterite, meningkatkan ukuran partikel dan nilai zeta potensial. namun pada penambahan 15% air dan seterusnya menurunkan ukuran partikel CaCO3.

... In a previous work (Ali S, 2012), solubility product and thermodynamic parameters were measured for four solvent systems involving 1-propanol, 2-propanol, DMSO and THF with water. For ZnCl2, the different solvent systems like ethanol, glycerol and glycol each with water were worked to observe the change in conductance with the change in percentage of organic component (Shehata, 1992). ...

Calcium hydroxide is sparingly soluble in water and completely soluble in Glycerol. It dissolves quantitatively in a glycerol-water solution. To estimate its solubility in the glycerol-water system, two independent methods are employed in this work. Conductometric measurements show that conductance of saturated solution of Ca(OH)2 decreases with an increase in the percentage of the glycerol indicating a decrease in solubility. However volumetric determination of the same saturated solution show increase in the amount of dissolved Ca(OH)2. It indicates that the addition of glycerol allows more calcium hydroxide to dissolve but prohibits its dissociation in a glycerol-water mixture. A proper selection of the ratio of water: Glycerol would work as a good solvent for Calcium hydroxide at the desired temperature

In this study, two hydroxycinnamic acids and two hydroxylated benzoic acids, namely 4-hydroxycinnamic acid (p-coumaric acid), 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxycinnamic acid (sinapinic acid), 3,4-dihydroxy benzoic acid (vanillic acid) and 3-hydroxy-4-methoxy benzoic acid (izovanillic acid), were titrated potentiometrically using tetrabuthylammonium hydroxide in 2-propanol under a nitrogen atmosphere at 25 °C. An artificial neural network (ANN) was applied for data treatment as a multivariate calibration tool in a potentiometric acid-base titration. The artificial neural network trained by the back-propagation learning was used to model the complex non-linear relationship between the concentration of p-coumaric acid (HpC), sinapinic acid (HS), vanillic acid (HV), and izovanillic acid (HiV), and the milivolt (mV) of solutions at different volumes of the added titrant. The principal components of the mV matrix were used as the input of the network. The optimized network predicted the concentrations of acids in synthetic mixtures. The results showed that the ANN used can proceed the titration data with an average relative error of less than 4.18%.

Chemical analytical techniques such as spectroscopic, chromatographic, and microscopic techniques are widely used for the analysis of various forensic evidence such as blood, semen, saliva, DNA, explosives, glass, paints, inks, and questioned documents. Apart from this, emerging chemical analytical techniques such as lab-on-chip devices and nanotechnology have also been used for the analysis of such evidence. While conventional techniques do provide excellent results, they can fare better if coupled with such emerging techniques. In this chapter, such chemical analytical techniques and how they have been used for the analysis of such evidence are briefly discussed.

Solubility constants reported in the literature for ammonium hydrogenurate (NH4HU), an occasional constituent of urinary calculi in humans, show a large scatter, probably due to the tendency of hydrogenurates to form supersaturated solutions that persist over long periods of time. In this study, the solubility of NH4HU(s) was measured as a function of p[H] = − lg{[H⁺]/mol dm⁻³} (4.5–8) and temperature (25 and 37 °C) at constant ionic strength, I c = 0.300 mol dm⁻³ NH4Cl, which is similar to the ionic strength of urine. Highly reproducible values for the solubility product (K s0) of NH4HU(s) were obtained. The first dissociation constant (K 1) of uric acid determined in this work agrees well with values obtained in our previous studies of uric acid solubilities in electrolyte solutions relevant to urolithiasis. This study confirms our earlier findings that in the ionic strength range of urine, the solubilities of uric acid and hydrogen urates as a function of p[H] can be described consistently by unique values of their solubility constants (K s, K s0) and the first dissociation constant of uric acid (K 1). In addition, no appreciable complexation between uric acid or hydrogenurates and other urine constituents has been found. Graphical abstract Open image in new window

The solubilities of cis- and trans-dichlorobis(ethylenediamine)chromium(III) salt of dianilinetetraisothiocyanatochromate(III) in water as well as in aqueous methanol, ethanol, propan-2-ol, 2-methylpropan-2-ol, acetonitrile, and ethylene carbonate were measured as a function of temperature and solvent composition. The Gibbs energies, enthalpies, and entropies of transfer of the saturating salts from water to the mixed solvents have been evaluated from solubility data. The contributions of cis- and trans-[Cr(en)2Cl2]+ ions to the Gibbs energies of transfer of the investigated salts have been calculated using the tetraphenylarsonium tetraphenylborate reference electrolyte assumption.

The paper reports the study on the effect of solvation of the species of citric acid in water + methanol and water + ethanol mixtures (v/v) on its conductivity behaviour as a function of temperature. The specific conductance was measured in the temperature range 283-313 K and the evaluated equivalent conductance was analyzed by Kraus-Bray and Shedlovsky models of conductivity. Limiting molar conductance (λ0m), dissociation constant (KC) and association constant (Ka) were evaluated for all solvent compositions. The limiting molar conductance was found to decrease with the increase in amount of co-solvent to water. Kc increased with increase in temperature till 60% methanol and 40% ethanol with a later decrease. Fuoss Accascina equation was applied and it was proved that the formation of ion pairs and scanty amount of ion triplets takes place in the system. Walden product, corrected Stokes radius (ri), thermodynamic parameters and solvation number also have been evaluated. Born relation of solvation was verified. These data were used to study the nature of ion-solvent and solvent-solvent interactions existing in the system under prevailing conditions.

Calculation of the solubility product for Ca(OH)2 and CaSO4·2H2O in pore solutions of hardened cement paste is used as an estimation of saturation. The treatment of solubility data using three models is discussed in this paper.These models are the Greenberg-Copeland model[1], the Bromley model[2] and the Pitzer-Mayorga model[3], which are all based on extended Debye-Hückel theory. The models arelied to the estimation of the saturation according to the experimental and calculated results. Experimental results were obtained from concentration measurements of ions present in the solutions while calculations are based on the models. None of the models evaluated appear entirely adequate to calculate Ca(OH)2 and CaSO4·2H2O saturation. According to the models, Ca(OH)2 and CaSO4·2H2O saturation in pore solutions depends strongly on the alkali content of the cement.

The dissolution enthalpies of uric acid and its dihydrate in Tris–buffer solutions were measured calorimetrically for the first time. It was found that these quantities do not depend significantly on pH (7.2–8.9), temperature (t=25–37°C), ionic strength (I=0.010–0.045moldm−3) and uric acid concentration (c=3.4–8.5mmoldm−3). After subtracting the protonation enthalpy of Tris, the present results H2U(s)→H+(aq)+HU−(aq),ΔrH=(56.3±0.4)kJmol−1H2U·2H2O(s)→H+(aq)+HU−(aq)+2H2O(aq),ΔrH=(64.5±0.2)kJmol−1 are consistent with those obtained from the temperature dependence of the solubility equilibrium constants reported in our previous work.
