Abstract

Precise conductance measurements are reported for tetrabutylammonium chloride, bromide, iodie, and perchlorate and lithium chloride in acetone-2-propanol (2-PrOH) and acetone-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFP) mixtures at 25°C. Densities, viscosities and dielectric constants of the mixtures were determined. The dielectric constant vs mole % acetone curve for the acetone (ε=19.4)-2-propanol (ε=20.5) goes through a minimum at 40% acetone (ε=17.4), while that for acetone-HFP (ε=16.8) goes through a maximum at 50% acetone (ε=26.87). The variations ofK A with ε in acetone-HFP are in accord with the predictions of electrostatic theory, while those for acetone-2-PrOH show more complex behavior. Ionic association in these mixtures is discussed in terms of an interplay between solvent structure and a multiple-step association process.
