In this article we present a new model for correlating dynamic viscosity of binary strong electrolyte solutions. The proposed model is based on Eyring’s absolute rate theory and the Debye-Hu¨ckel model for calculating the excess (electrostatic) free energy of activation of the viscous flow. In the present model we consider that the free energy of activation of the viscous flow as being the same as the appropriate thermodynamic free energy used for calculating equilibrium properties of the electrolyte solution. Modifications of Eyring’s absolute rate theory must be performed to take into account the solvent as a continuous medium, as considered in the Debye-Hu¨ckel theory. This is accomplished by means of the osmotic-pressure framework for solutions. In this framework one adopts a thermodynamic free energy, which is considered as a function of the absolute temperature, pressure, number of moles of the solute species, and chemical potential of the solvent. The proposed model contains two adjustable parameters that have been fitted by means of experimental viscosity data of the literature. The total number of 21 binary electrolyte systems (at 0.1 MPa and 25 °C) with different solvents (water, methanol, ethanol, and 1-butanol) have been studied. The calculated viscosity values are in good agreement with the experimental ones. The overall average mean relative standard deviation is 0.52%. 1. Introduction There is a considerable large number of empirical and semiempirical models, in the literature, for calculating and correlating the concentration dependence of the viscosity of binary aqueous strong electrolyte solutions.1 At present, one of the most used equations is the one proposed by Jones and Dole in 1929, which can be written as follows,1-3

η/η1 ) 1 + Ac21/2 + Bc2

(1)

where η and η1 are, respectively, the solution and pure solvent dynamic viscosities (at same temperature and pressure) and c2 is the molar concentration of the electrolyte. The coefficient A of eq 1 can be calculated as a function of the equivalence conductance of the ions at infinite dilution, as proposed by Falkenhagen and coworkers.1,3-6 The coefficient B is fitted by means of experimental viscosity data.3,7-9 The Jones-Dole equation (eq 1) is, in general, valid only for electrolyte concentration up to 0.1 M.1 To apply this equation to more concentrated electrolyte solutions, one can add to it empirical terms, taking into account higher degrees of the electrolyte concentration.1,3,7-9 A recent and comprehensive review of the application of the Jones-Dole equation for binary, aqueous and nonaqueous, electrolyte solutions as well as the determination of B coefficients of the ions is given by Jenkins and Marcus.3 Chandra and Bagchi10,11 recently remarked that the microscopic model of the concentration dependence of transport properties (e.g., conductivity and viscosity) of * To whom correspondence should be addressed.

nondiluted electrolyte solutions is an open research subject. The modeling of the concentration dependence of the viscosity of an electrolyte solution can be considered as a rather difficult task due, among other possible effects, to the so-called “anomalous concentration dependence”.10,11 That is, for some electrolyte systems (e.g., NaCl + H2O or LiCl + H2O) the solution viscosity increases monotonically with the electrolyte concentration. For other types of electrolyte systems (e.g., KCl + H2O or KBr + H2O), the solution viscosity increases, up to a maximum value, at very low electrolyte concentration values, then it decreases, reaching a minimum value, and afterward it increases monotonically for higher electrolyte concentrations. Chandra and Bagchi,10,11 by means of the mode coupling theory, have developed a new model for calculating the viscosity of electrolyte solutions. They have also demonstrated that their new model reduces to the Falkenhagen expression in the limit of low electrolyte concentrations. Chandra and Bagchi10,11 show two figures (for 1:1 and 2:2 electrolyte aqueous solutions) comparing the results obtained by their model and the ones obtained by the Falkenhagen equation. The absolute rate theory, of Eyring and co-workers,12-15 which can be used for calculating the viscosity of liquids12-15 (pure and mixtures) has also been applied, by different authors, for calculating the viscosity of electrolyte solutions.1 In a series of articles Good16-19 and Good and Ingham20 have calculated, based on Eyring’s equation, the enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy of activation of the viscous flow for a series of different binary electrolyte systems. On the basis of these values, they have tried to interpret, by means of ionic hydration and the concept of structure-breaking and structure-making mechanisms of the solvent structure, the viscosity of electrolyte solutions. More recently,

It is possible to rewrite the original Eyring’s equation for the solution viscosity as follows (see Appendix), NSOLU

The two compartments are separated by a semipermeable membrane that allows the interchange of the solvent molecules.

Abraham and Abraham21 have tried to use the absolute rate theory for modeling viscosity and electrical conductance of multicomponent electrolyte aqueous solutions. They have studied the whole concentration range from dilute electrolyte solutions up to the fused salts. The molar Gibbs free energy of activation of the viscous flow is calculated as being a linear combination of the Gibbs free energy of activation of the fused salt and the apparent free energy of activation assigned to the water molecules linked to the salt. The purpose of this article is to present a viscosity model for strong electrolyte solutions based on Eyring’s absolute rate theory12-15 and the Debye-Hu¨ckel model.22-27 The Debye-Hu¨ckel theory is adopted for calculating the excess (electrostatic) free energy of activation of an electrolyte solution by taking into account the solvent as a continuous medium. The proposed new model considers that the free energy of activation of the viscous flow is the same as the thermodynamic (equilibrium) free energy of the electrolyte solution.15 One must bear in mind that appropriate modifications of Eyring’s absolute rate theory must be performed to consider the solvent as a continuous medium, as considered in the Debye-Hu¨ckel theory. This is accomplished by means of the so-called osmoticpressure framework for solutions.28,29 The organization of the rest of this article is as follows. In section 2, the modifications of Eyring’s absolute rate theory for viscosity calculations of electrolyte solutions are discussed. In section 3 we present the DebyeHu¨ckel model for viscosity calculations. In section 4 we present and discuss the calculations results by comparing them with literature viscosity data. Finally, in section 5 we summarize our conclusions. 2. A New Model for Calculating Viscosity of Binary Electrolyte Solutions The proposed model is based on the absolute rate theory of Eyring and co-workers12-14 and the thermodynamic framework for solutions based on the MacMillan-Mayer level by means of the so-called osmotic equilibrium formulation.28 By taking into account a multisolute solution in osmotic equilibrium with a pure solvent compartment, one could write (see Figure 1),

η ) η1 + ηΠ

where η and η1 are, respectively, the solution and pure solvent dynamic viscosities and ηΠ is the solute contribution to the solution dynamic viscosity by considering the solvent as a continuous medium.

where ci is the molar concentration of the solute species i, NSOLU is the total number of solute species, N is the Avogadro number, p is Plank’s constant, ∆ψ* is the free energy of activation for the flow process, per mole of solute, R is the gas constant, and T is the solution absolute temperature. In the so-called osmotic equilibrium thermodynamic framework (continuous solvent), one can write the appropriate thermodynamic potential for a solution as follows,28

where T is the absolute temperature, P is the solution pressure, ni is the number of moles of the solute species i, and µ1 is the chemical potential for the solvent species 1. We can also define the intensive (per mole of solute) thermodynamic potential as28

It is important to remark that the generalized osmoticequilibrium framework (i.e., for any number of solvent and solute species) can been found elsewhere.28 The basic assumption of the present model for viscosity calculation is to consider the free energy of activation (per mole of solute) for the flow process to be same as the ψ, the thermodynamic (i.e., equilibrium) free energy (per mole of solute) of the solution in the osmoticequilibrium framework.15 Therefore, by considering the ∆ψ* as a sum of an ideal dilute solution contribution and a correction, an excess contribution, one can write * ∆ψ* ) ∆ψ* id + ψE

(6)

where ∆ψ* id is the ideal dilute solution free energy contribution (at same T, P, ni, and µ1 as the real solution) and ψ* E is the excess free energy of the electrolyte solution. It is important to remark that the ideal dilute solution obeys the Van’t Hoff equation.28 By substituting eq 3 into eq 2, one obtains NSOLU *

This expression takes into account the short-range ionsolvent interactions in dilute electrolyte solutions, as discussed by Chandra and Baghi.10 3. The Debye-Hu 1 ckel Model for Viscosity To model the viscosity of dilute strong electrolyte solutions, the Debye-Hu¨ckel theory22,23 has been adopted for calculating the excess free energy of activation due to electrostatic (long-range) interactions of the ionic species, in a continuous solvent. By performing a charging process of a hypothetical electrolyte solution in which all the ions, considered as hard spheres without charge, are charged simultaneously to their final charge values (Debye Charging Process), one obtains total excess (electrostatic) free energy of the electrolyte solution, which in S.I. units can be written as follows,23-25

For each electrolyte, the distance of closest approach of the ions, a, has been taken as being the arithmetic mean of their crystal radios.32 The adjustable model parameters, A and B, have been fitted by means of experimental viscosity data taken from the literature (see Table 1).

As can be seen from Table 1, the worst correlation results are obtained for the system LiNO3 + ethanol. Table 1 also presents a comparison of the present model results with the ones obtained by using the Jones-Dole model recently reviewed by Jenkin and Marcus.3 It must be stressed that all available experimental viscosity data, for the whole concentration range, for each binary system, has been used for fitting the JonesDole B parameter and A and B the parameters of the proposed model. It can been seen from Table 1 that for all studied systems the present model gives significantly smaller deviations than those obtained by the Jones-Dole model.3 Figures 2-6 show some typical results obtained with the present model. Figure 2 compares the contributions of the DebyeHu¨ckel (eq 24) and Guggenheim (eq 26) terms for correlating the difference between solution and the pure solvent viscosities (η - η1) for the LiCl + water system at 298.15 K and 0.1 MPa. It can be seen that in the low concentration range the Debye-Hu¨ckel contribution

works quite well but for higher concentration (up to 8.0 M) the Guggenheim term corrects for large deviation between the experimental data and the Debye-Hu¨ckel calculated values. Figure 3 shows the viscosity composition curve of the NaNO3 + water at 298.15 K and 0.1 MPa. It can be seen that the model correlates with reasonable good agreement of the experimental data up to the concentration of 6.25 M. Figure 4 shows that the proposed model does not correlate properly the complex behavior of the experimental viscosity data for the KCl + water system at 298.15 K and 0.1 MPa. Similar model behavior occurs for the KBr + water system at 298.15 K and 0.1 MPa. Figures 5 and 6 show the calculated and experimental values of the viscosity of nonaqueous binary electrolyte systems. Figure 5 shows the results for the KI + methanol system at 298.15 K and 0.1 MPa, and Figure 6 shows the results for the LiI + 1-butanol system at 298.15 K and 0.1 MPa.

is based on a modification of Eyring’s absolute rate theory for viscous flow of a liquid solution. The appropriate free energy expression is obtained by means of the Debye-Hu¨ckel theory for dilute electrolyte solutions. The solvent is considered as being a continuous medium in which the ionic species (charged hard spheres) interact. The correlation of the viscosity data is applicable for different binary electrolyte systems, for the whole concentration range, at 0.1 MPa and 25 °C. The value for the overall average mean relative standard deviation is 0.52%. Nomenclature

The overall average mean relative standard deviation for the present model is 0.52%, which shows that the proposed model can adequately correlate the viscosities of different binary aqueous and nonaqueous electrolyte systems at 0.1 MPa and 25 °C. It is important to remark that the present model can be readily extended for viscosity calculations of a multisolvent electrolyte solution. In that case one can use a model for calculating the viscosity of the solutefree, solvent mixture15 and an adequate mixing rule for the dielectric constant of the solvent mixture.27,31 For mixed electrolyte solutions one has to adopt a kind of mixing rule for calculating the multielectrolyte A and B parameters by means of the ones obtained for the different binary electrolyte systems.22

This Appendix presents the application of Eyring’s absolute rate theory12 for calculating the solute contribution to the dynamic viscosity of a solution by taking into account the solvent (or a mixture of solvents) as a continuous medium. The derivation will follow the one given by Bird et al.13 for pure liquids. Therefore, only the main differences are discussed here. It is possible to define, for a pure liquid, a free energy of activation for the rearrangements of the liquid molecules in a stationary fluid (∆G* 0 ). This potential free energy barrier is distorted for the fluid under flow because of the applied shear stress. For a fluid flowing in the x direction, one could write13

where ∆G* is the activation free energy for the rearrangements of the molecules, of a fluid under stress; R is the distance to the nearest vacant site in a given fluid layer; δ is a distance between two adjacents layers of the liquid; τyx is the applied shear stress; and V′ is the fluid volume in m3. The second term of the right-handed side of eq A1, represents the work done on the molecules to move them up the potential free energy barrier. The plus and minus signs correspond, respectively, for the molecules moving along or against the direction of the flow. In an analogous way, for a liquid solution, it would be possible to define a free energy of activation for the rearrangements of the solute particles in a continuous solvent medium. The appropriate thermodynamic free energy for considering the solute as particles and the solvent as a continuous medium (Ψ) is discussed elsewhere.4 Therefore, eq A1 can be recasted as follows,

where ∆Ψ* and ∆Ψ* 0 are, respectively, the activation free energy for the rearrangements of the solute particles for the solution under stress and without applied stress (solution at rest). The second term of the righthanded side of eq A2 represents the work on the solute particles (in a continuous solvent medium) to move them to the top of the potential free energy barrier. By dividing eq A2 by the total number of moles of the solute species, one obtains *
