Standard free energies [Formula: see text] and entropies [Formula: see text] of transfer of hydrogen bromide and iodide from water to the aqueous 1, 2, and 4 m of sodium nitrate have been determined by measuring the emf's of the cell: Pt, H2(g, 1 atm)/KOH(m1), KX(m2), solvent/AgX–Ag where X = Br or I at five equidistant temperatures ranging from 15–35°C. [Formula: see text] values of HBr, HI as well as that of HCl obtained from earlier paper and particularly of the individual ions [Formula: see text](i), obtained by use of modified TATB assumption reported earlier and also [Formula: see text](i) obtained after correcting for "cavity" effect and Born-type electrostatic effect estimated tentatively by the scaled particle theory (SPT) and simple Bom equation, respectively, reveal the relative order of stabilisation of Cl−, Br−, and I− ions. Analysis of [Formula: see text]–composition profile (X = Cl, Br, and I) exhibits a characteristic "maxima" around 1.5 m NaNO3 with the relative order HI > HBr > HCl in the region of maxima. Moreover, dissection of [Formula: see text] values into the individual ion contributions by use of the modified TATB assumption reported earlier, results in the characteristic "maxima" around 1.5 m NaNO3 in [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text]–composition profiles for H+ and "minima" for Cl−, Br−, and I−. The results are discussed in terms of ion–ion–solvent interactions as well as the structural changes of the solvents.

Autoionization constants (Ks) of aqueous mixtures of 1, 2, and 4 m sodium nitrate used as an ionic cosolvent system have been determined from emf measurements of the cell: Pt, H2 (g, 1 atm)/KOH (m1) KCl (m2), solvent/AgCl–Ag at five equidistant temperatures ranging from 15–35 °C. The standard free energies (ΔG0) and entropies (ΔS0) of autoionisation of the solvents were then evaluated from these data. Relative free energies (ΔG0) and entropies of (ΔS0)of autoionization of the solvents when coupled with the previously determined transfer free energies [Formula: see text] and entropies [Formula: see text] of H+ yielded [Formula: see text][Formula: see text],[Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Values of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] obtained after correcting for [Formula: see text], as well as [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]obtained after correcting the "cavity effect" and Born-type electrostatic effect suggests that while the "basicity" of the aqueous NaNO3 solutions decreases, the "acidity" more or less increases with NaNO3 concentration. The observed [Formula: see text]– and [Formula: see text]–composition profiles were also examined in the light of Kundu et al.'s four-step transfer process and the involved order–disorder phenomena, respectively, as proposed earlier.Standard free energies [Formula: see text] and entropies [Formula: see text] of transfer of p-nitroaniline (pNA) and benzoic acid (HBz) for the solvent system have also been determined from solubility measurements at different temperatures. The observed [Formula: see text]–and [Formula: see text]–composition profiles appear to reflect the salting-out effect of the salt and the [Formula: see text]–and [Formula: see text]–composition profiles confirm the applicability of either of these quantities rather than [Formula: see text], as a better structural probe both for aquo-ionic and aquo-organic solvents.

Standard free energies [Formula: see text] and entropies [Formula: see text] of transfer of glycine (G), diglycine (DG), and triglycine (TG), from water to aqueous mixtures of glycerol (GL) and urea (UH) have been determined from solubility measurements at different temperatures. This was also extended to an ionic cosolvent system like aqueous sodium nitrate solutions for G and DG. The observed [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]–composition profiles, as well as those obtained after correcting for the "cavity effect" as estimated by scaled particle theory (SPT), were examined in the light of various interactions. The corrected [Formula: see text]and [Formula: see text] values show a regular function of the peptide chain length of the amino acids and impart useful information regarding the involved relative structural effects of these ionic and non-ionic cosolvents.

Standard potentials (E0) of the Ag–AgCl electrode have been determined in 1, 2, and 4 m NaNO3 + water mixtures at five equidistant temperatures ranging from 15–35 °C from the emf measurements of the cell: Pt, H2 (g, 1 atm)/HCl (m) NaNO3 +water/AgCl–Ag. These values have been used to evaluate the transfer energetics [Formula: see text] accompanying the transfer of 1 mole of HCl from the standard state in water to the standard state in each of the NaNO3 + water mixtures. Transfer free energies [Formula: see text] of HCl and that of the individual ions obtained from a separate study, and those obtained after correcting the "cavity effect" and Born-type electrostatic effect, as estimated tentatively by the scaled-particle theory (SPT) and simple Born equation respectively, have been discussed in the light of ion–ion–solvent interactions. The observed [Formula: see text]–composition profile as well as that obtained after correcting for the "cavity effect" were examined in the light of semiquantitative theory proposed by Kundu etal. earlier and are found to substantiate this theory.

Deprotonation constants, Ka(RH2+) and Ka(RH±), of glycine (RH±) have been determined at five equidistant temperatures ranging from 15 to 35 °C by measuring the emf of galvanic cells comprising Pt/H2 and Ag–AgCl electrodes in aqueous mixtures of protophilic protic urea (UH) and protophobic protic glycerol (GL). Medium effects on deprotonation of the acid: [Formula: see text] have been dissected into transfer free energies [Formula: see text] and entropies [Formula: see text] of the species involved as obtained by measuring the transfer energetics [Formula: see text] of RH± from solubility measurements at different temperatures and of H+ based on tetraphenylarsonium tetraphenylborate (TATB) reference electrolyte assumption determined earlier. The [Formula: see text] values obtained after due correction from the cavity effect based on scaled particle theory (SPT) and electrostatic effects including Born and ion–dipole effects for the charged species involved in the two deprotonation equilibria enable better understanding of the solvent effect on the deprotonation constants. Moreover, the [Formula: see text]–composition profiles are found to exhibit similar characteristic maxima and minima as for simple cations and anions in these solvent systems, thus providing useful information on the structural characteristic of these cosolvents. Keywords: deprotonation energetics, glycine, aqueous urea, aqueous glycerol, EMF measurements.

Standard free energies (ΔGt0) and entropies (ΔSt0) of transfer of HBr and HI from water to some aqueous solutions of 2-methoxy ethanol (ME) have been determined from emf measurements of the cells: Pt, H2 (g, 1 atm)/HBr (m), solvent/AgBr–Ag and Pt, H2 (g, 1 atm)/KOH (m1), KI (m2), solvent/AgI–Ag, respectively, at seven equidistant temperatures ranging from 15 to 45 °C. ΔGt0 values of HBr and HI as well as of HCl obtained from literature, and particularly that of the individual ions obtained by tetraphenylarsonium tetraphenylboron (TATB) assumption, suggest that while H+ is increasingly stabilized by cosolvent-induced larger "basicity", halide ions (X−) are increasingly destabilized by cosolvent-induced decreased "acidity" and the dielectric constant of the mixed solvents compared to that of water. Analysis of the variation of the observed TΔSt0(HX) and particularly of ΔY (= TΔSt0(H+) + TΔS0t.ch (X−), with composition, in the light of Kundu etal's semi-quantitative theory reveals that ME induces breakdown of three dimensional (3D) tetrahedral structures of water at water-rich compositions. This is being followed by an ordered region due to possible H-bonded cosolvent–water complexation and then the usual disordered region due to packing imbalance. Comparison of ΔY(HI)–composition profiles for aqueous mixtures of t-butanol (ButOH), ethylene glycol (EG), and 1,2-dimethoxy ethane (DME) also demonstrates that the remarkable enhancement of 3D water structures by the well known structure promoter ButOH gets succintly diminished when cosolvent ButOH is replaced by EG, ME, and DME, as is expected from structural and electronic considerations of the cosolvents.

Single-ion tranfer free energies [Formula: see text] and entropies [Formula: see text] of some electrolytes from water to 1, 2, and 4m aqueous NaNO3 solvents have been determined at 25 °C using the widely used tetraphenylarsonium tetraphenylborate (Ph4AsBPh4) reference electrolyte assumption, after due modification for this solvent system. The required [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] values of Ph4AsPi, KBPh4, KPi, AgPi, PbPi2, Ag2CrO4, and AgCl where Pi = picrate, were determined by measuring solubilities at 15–35 °C of the solutes except AgCl, the values of which were determined from emf measurements. Analysis of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] values of the ions as well as their respective true interaction effects, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] as obtained after correcting for their cavity effects [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] estimated by the scaled particle theory (SPT) and Born-type electrostatic effects, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] computed by simple Born equation, reveals that the behaviour of the ions in this ionic cosolvent system is chiefly guided by one or several effects of ion–ion–solvent, Born and cavity forming interactions. Moreover, a rational explanation has been offered to explain the observed mirror-image entropie behaviour of simple cations and anions in light of Kundu etal.'s four-steps transfer process.

Standard free energies [Formula: see text] and entropies [Formula: see text] of transfer of p-nitroaniline (pNA) from water to aqueous mixtures of some ionic and non-ionic cosolvents like KBr, urea (U), propylene glycol (PG), glycerol (GL), dioxane (D), and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) have been determined from solubility measurements at different temperatures. The observed [Formula: see text]–composition profile in KBr solution appears to result from the well known salting-out effect of the salt and those in aqueous poly-ols and ethers are the result of the combined effects of dispersion and "acid–base" type interactions but that in aqueous urea solutions is governed by the "salting-out" type interaction by the predominant zwitterionic form of urea. The observed [Formula: see text]–composition profiles as well as those obtained after correcting for the "cavity-effect", as estimated tentatively by the scaled particle theory (SPT), were examined in the light of Kundu et al.'s semi-quantitative theory proposed earlier. The latter profiles suggest that unlike isopropyl alcohol (IPA), the poly-ols and ethers as well as KBr and urea induce structure breaking of three dimensional (3D) water structure right from the initial compositions. Moreover, the observed "roller-coaster" type behaviour of the profile in aqueous urea is indicative of the effect of urea–water aggregation around 4–10 m urea. Also, the observed graded reduction of structure-promoting effect of IPA in PG and GL cosolvent systems confirms that structuring and destructuring ability of a cosolvent depends on the ratio of hydrophobicity to hydrophilicity of the cosolvent.

Single-ion transfer free energies [Formula: see text] and entropies [Formula: see text] of some ions from water to aqueous mixtures of urea and glycerol have been determined using the widely used tetraphenylarsonium tetraphenylborate reference electrolyte assumption from solubility and emf measurements of some appropriate electrolytes at five different temperatures (15 to 35 °C). Analysis of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] values of the ions as well as their respective "chemical" effect, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] as obtained after correcting for their cavity and Born-type electrostatic effects, estimated by the scaled particle theory (SPT) and simple Born equation, respectively, show a complex dependence upon solvent composition. Attempts have been made to explain the observed mirror-image entropie behaviour of simple cations and anions in the light of Kundu etal.'s four-step transfer process and to compare the results with those obtained in other aquo-ionic and nonionic systems. Keywords: single ion, transfer energetics, TATB assumption, aqueous glycerol, aqueous urea.

Standard free energies (ΔGt0) and entropies (ΔSt0) of transfer of hydrogen iodide from water to some aqueous solutions of tetrahydrofuran (THF), dioxane (D), and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) have been determined by measuring the emf's of the cell: Pt, H2 (g, 1 atm)|KOH (m1), KI (m2), solvent|AgI, Ag at seven equidistant temperatures ranging from 5 to 35 °C. In each of these ethereal solvent systems ΔGt0 values of HI, as well as of HCl and HBr obtained from the literature, and particularly of the individual ions, suggest that while H+ is increasingly stabilized, halide ions are increasingly destabilized due to the influence of cosolvent-induced larger "basicity" and smaller "acidity" of the mixed solvents compared to that of water, and both conformed to the expected order: D < THF < DME. Moreover, the relative order: Cl− > Br− > I− in all the solvent systems is ascribable to the combined effects of "acid–base" and "soft–soft" interactions and the superimposed quadrupolar interactions in the case of D and the charge transfer to solvent (CTTS) complexation effect, especially on I− in the case of THF. Analysis of the entropie contributions, TΔSt0, and particularly of the relative order of ΔY (≡TΔSt0(H+) + TΔSt,ch0(X−)) for X = Cl, Br, and I, in the light of the semi-quantitative theory proposed earlier by Kundu et al., reveals that at initial compositions, while THF promotes 3D structures of water, both D and DME break down the same; at higher compositions all the cosolvents disrupt the structure as usual due to packing imbalance. The nature and relative positions of ΔY–composition profiles also suggest that while increase of hydrophobic groups of the cosolvents increases the stabilization, increase in hydrophilicity or H-bonding sites decreases the stabilization of the 3D structure of water.
