Self-Diffusion and Heteroassociation in an Acetone–Chloroform Mixture at 298 K

详细

The self-diffusion coefficients of acetone and chloroform in a binary acetone–chloroform mixture at 298 K are determined via pulsed field gradient NMR spectroscopy. It is estimated that the hydrodynamic radii of the mixture’s components, calculated using the Stokes–Einstein equation, grow as the concentrations of the components fall. It is shown that such behavior of hydrodynamic radii is due to acetone–chloroform heteroassociation. The hydrodynamic radii of monomers and heteroassociates in a 1: 1 ratio are determined along with the constant of heteroassociation, using the proposed model of an associated solution.
