The Gouy diffusiometer has been used to study the isothermal diffusion process at 25" in the binary system HzO-choline chloride and in the ternary system HzO-choline chloride-KC1. Values for the mutual diffusion coefficient for choline chloride in water are reported over the concentration range 0.0073-0.2232 g cc-1. The diffusion in a ternary system can be described by four volume-fixed diffusion coefficients, and these were obtained at each of four compositions of the system. For a ternary system a measure of the deviation of the flow of each solute from Fick's first law is given by a cross-term diffusion coefficient. One of these coefficients was found to be large, and the other small, and this is in accordance with the predictions of the first-order equations of O'Donnell and Gosting. Density data and refractive index derivatives for both the binary and ternary systems are reported, together with the partial specific volumes for the ternary system.

Introduction The purpose of this investigation was to study the deviations of solute flows from Fick's first law for the ternary system HzO-choline chloride-KC1 by measuring the main and cross-term diffusion coefficient^.^-^ It was thought that these diffusion coefficients should be of help in the understtanding of diffusion processes that occur during nerve conduction. Isothermal diffusion in one dimension in a ternary solution can be described along the x coordinate by the two flow equations

where the solute concentrations p1 and p2 are expressed in g cc-1. Throughout this article subscript 1 will denote choline chloride and subscript 2 will denote potassium chloride. The solute flows (J,)" are referred to the volume-fixed frame of reference and have units of g cm-2 sec-1. The four volume-fixed diffusion coefficients (D,,)" have units of cm2 sec-l. For the small concentration differences used in these experiments the volume-fixed frame of reference may be considered identical with the cellfixed (or apparatus-fixed) reference frame.6,' The size of the cross-term diffusion coefficients ( D 1 2 ) ~ and (Dp1)" can be predicted qualitatively from the limiting equivalent conductances of the ions present in the system.8 The choline ion has a much lower limiting equivalent conduct~mcegthan either the K+ or C1- ions, which have almost equal values. Consequently the flow of choline chloride, (Jl)", produced by a concentration gradient of KCl will be small, hence (DIP)" is small. Because of the large difference between the limiting equivalent conductances of the 61- and choline ions, the flow of KC1, (Jz)",produced by a concentration gradient of choline chloride will be relatively large, and accordingly (D& will be much larger than (D& and quite different from zero.

The ternary system was studied a t four compositions with the following concentrations of the solutes: 61 = 0.05, 6 z = 0.05; 61 = 0.05, 5 2 = 0.025; 6 1 = 0.025, 6 2 = 0.05; 51 = 0.025," 6 2 = 0.025. Here and throughout this paper 61 (with i = 1 or 2) denotes a particular solute concentration chosen for experimental investigation.

Experimental Section Only a brief outline of the experimental procedure and information specific to this study is given here. For a full description of the standard experimental details and procedures the reader is referred to a paper by Woolf, Miller, and Gosting.lo Materials. Choline chloride for the binary experiments was purchased from Eastman Organic Chemicals Department of Distillation Products Industries, and was recrystallized five times from a solvent consisting of a mixture (volume basis) of 70% absolute ethanol and 30% dry acetone. The crystals were dried in vacuo over magnesium perchlorate. Volumetric assay of the material for chloride content, and calculated as choline chloride, showed it to be 100% pure within the limits of experimental error (*0.25%). Choline chloride for the ternary experiments was purchased from the British Drug Houses, Ltd., En-. gland (99% pure with reference to the dried material). It was recrystallized twice using a solvent mixture of the same composition as described above and then dried in uucuo over magnesium perchlorate. In all ternary experiments the KC1 was part of a batch recrystallized by Woolf, et u1.,10 and was used without further purification. For preparation of the ternary solutions distilled water from a Barnstead steam-heated still was further purified by passing through a Barnstead purification system. The latter consisted of an organic removal column, a mixedbed ion-exchange column, a submicron filter, and a 5-galion reservoir tank. It was designed so that water could continuously circulate through the columns, filter, and tank. The water was allowed to circulate for 12 hr and was The Journal of Physical Chemistry, Voi. 77, No. 20, 1973

then drawn off (specific resistance 12-14 megohm cm) and put in a glass carboy. I t was then saturated with air. Molecular Weights. The molecular weights ( M , ) of HzO, choline chloride, and KC1 were taken to be 18.016, 139.627, and 74.557, respectively. Solutions. Water used in the preparation of the binary solutions had been previously purified by Woolf, et a1.10 For the ternary experiments the solutions were made up with water purified according to the procedure described above. The density of each solution a t 25 k 0.003’ was measured in triplicate in 30-ml single-necked pycnometers, which were always weighed against a sealed tare of similar volume. The measurements for each solution were averaged and are recorded as experimental densities in Tables I and 11. All solutions were prepared by weight, and the weights of choline chloride, KC1, and the final solutions were each converted to weights in vacuum using the density values 1.155,11 1.984, and the solution density, respectively. The concentrations in g cc-l were calculated using the experimental densities. Diffusion Experiments. All diffusion experiments were performed with a Gouy diffusiometer which has been described p r e v i ~ u s l y$.1~2,13 The optical lever arrn,l4 b, from the center of the cell to the emulsion of the photographic plate, was 307.055 cm. The thickness, a, of the 11-ml quartz Beckman/Spinco electrophoresis-diffusion cell was measured with a special internal caliper and was found to be 2.5059 cm. The positions of the fringe intensity minima and maxima on the photographs were measured with a photoelectric null indicator, mounted on a Gaertner M2001RS toolmakers’ microscope. This has been described in detail by Wendtle and Albright.17 Approximately 18-20 fringe minima throughout each Gouy photograph, including the lower 7 (j = 0 through 6), were measured in accordance with the procedure described previously. Each value of Ct (the maximum displacement of light on a photograph according to ray optics) was obtained by the usual extrapolation procedure.l5JsJg Values of DA’,at time t’, which are preliminary values for the reduced height-area ratio, 33.4, for each experiment, were calculated using the following expression.

(3) The plot of D.4’ us. l/t’ was extrapolated to l/t’ = 0 to obtain D A , which is the reduced height-area ratio corrected for initial imperfections in the boundary.20 The starting time correction At, which was found from the slope of the graph, ranged from 7 to 29 sec. A fringe deviation graph for each experiment was made by calculating the average values of 9 , the reduced fringe deviation of each f({), and plotting them against f( {), the reduced fringe number.z2 The area of this graph gZ1

was obtained by applying Simpson’s 113 rule for numerical integration; values of 9 were read at intervals of 0.025 along the f({) axis from a smoothed curve drawn through all the average values of { on the graph.

Results Experimental results for the binary system HzO-choline chloride are shown in Table I. The mean solute concentrations, p l (line 2), were obtained (eq 5) from the initial concentrations of the upper solutions, (PI)*, and the lower ~ , are given on lines 3 and 5 . The exsolutions, ( p ~ ) which perimental densities of the initial solutions, da and d B (lines 4 and 6, experiments 4-8), show reasonable agreement (average deviation 0.0013’70) with the corresponding values calculated from the polynomial equation d = 0.997048 4- 0.11725~~ - 0.03133~1~ f O.09595pl3 (5) which was fitted by the method of least squares23 to the experimental densities using the Atlas computer. The concentration differences, Ap1 (line 7), between the initial solutions in the first two experiments were sufficiently large to give approximately 100 fringes (J, line 8) so that accurate values of D ~ a n dQ could be determined. However, the areas of the fringe deviation graphs (line 10) for each of these experiments were significantly different from zero. This could be due to (a) optical imperfections in the apparatus, (b) solute impurity, or (c) the dependence of certain properties of the solution on solute concentration.lsJ4 The first possibility was considered to be remote, as previous experiments in the same cell and apparatus with pure solutes having negligibly concentration dependent properties gave values of Q = 0 r 2 X 10-4, which indicated an absence of optical imperfections. Also a preliminary test experiment with 1.5’70 sucrose in water a t the start of the present study yielded a value of Q which was approximately 2 X Possibilities b and c can be distinguished because if p 1 is held constant, and A p l is decreased, Q should remain constant for b, and Q should approach zero for e. Therefore experiment 3 was performed with a smaller value of Ap1, using solute from the same batch as in the first two experiments. In this experiment Q became nearly zero (within experimental error) thus ruling out possibility b and indicating that values of A p l between 0.008 and 0.0110 should be the best compromise for the remainder of the experiments. With these concentration differences the effects of concentration-dependent properties of the solution are minimized, yet J is large enough for reasonable accuracy. Furthermore, in acapproximately in cordance with e x p e ~ t a t i o nQ~ decreased ~ proportion to (Ap1)2. If & (line 9) from experiment 1 is adjusted slightly t o correspond to p l = 0.00816 (by using data from other experiments in Table I to estimate the slope of 3JA us. d p 1 ) a value of DA = 1.2245 X is obtained. When this value of DAtogether with those from experiments 2 and 3 are plotted against the corresponding (Ap1)2, the graph is found to be approximately linear in agreement with theory,lsJ4 and it has a very small slope. Thus Q for experiments 3-8 may be identified with the mutual diffusion coefficient, D, within the limits of experimental error. In the study of the ternary system, four sets of experiments were performed corresponding to the four compositions specified by the values of /51 and /52 in line 1 of Table 11.26 For each experiment the mean concentrations of the solutes, p l and p z are listed on lines 3 and 4; they are seen to be very close to the corresponding values of and 5 2 . The experimental densities (lines 7 and 10) were determined as previously described, and the method of least squares was used to evaluate the constants H1 and HZ in eq 6; the results of these calculations are shown in Table 111.26 In all experiments the values of

In addition, certain limiting values of these (&)\, in regions where no experimental data are yet available were computed from values of the limiting equivalent ionic conductances, h,O, and are also shown. Because choline chloride and KC1 are both electrolytes, the diffusion coefficients were plotted against pL1 2 rather than p L to avoid infinite slopes as p 1 and pz approach zero.

With the additional value Azo (potassium ion)33 = 73.50 cm2 ohm-1 equiv-1 one may calculate the limiting mutual and tracer diffusion coefficients ( 0 ~= 1.994 ~ ) X ~10-5 and ( D z O ) = ~ 1.956 X 10-5, respectively, which ,are shown on the graph. In the limits p1 0 or p2 0 the cross-term diffusion ~ ( D z l ) ~shown , in Figure 1, do not coefficients ( D l z ) and reduce to diffusion coefficients which have been commonly measured before. As pointed out previouslys ( D l 2 ) ~ 0 as p1 0 with p2 constant and nonzero, and ( D z l ) ~ 0 as p 0 with p 1 constant and nonzero. However, in the opposite limiting case for (D12)V or (D21)v each cross-term diffusion coefficient approaches a nonzero value (when 0 both solutes are electrolytes). For example, if first p z and then p l -- 0 in approaching infinite dilution, (DIP)" for this system approaches the relatively small value40

The present study was undertaken as part of a series of physical-chemical measurements on solutions containing choline chloride.42.43 This compound can be prepared in high purity, and it forms stable solutions suitable for accurate measurements. The results in this paper show that the HZO-choline chloride-KC1 system exhibits marked deviations from Fick's first law. For the compositions studied, the relatively large values of (D& indicate that a concentration gradient of choline chloride is 1525% as effective as a gradient of KC1 in producing a flow of KC1. Therefore a suitable concentration gradient of choline chloride can cause KC1 to flow from a region of lower KC1 concentration to a region of higher KC1 concentration against an appreciable concentration gradient of KC1. It should be noted that the values of the cross-term diffusion coefficients reported in Table I1 are for solute flows and concentration gradients expressed in grams in eq 1 and 2. If these quantities were expressed in moles the values of (D& would be nearly twice as large, because then they must be multiplied by the molecular weight ratio M 1 / M z = 1.8728; the values of ( D I z )would ~ be about half as large because then they must be divided by l . 8 7 2 ~ . ~ The O addition of other solute components, such as those commonly found in nerve cells, to the present system would cause some change in the values of the diffusion coefficients reported in Table 11; also, additional diffusion coefficients3 would be required to describe completely diffusion in the more complicated systems. The present data represented by the three-dimensional graphs in Figure 1 would then represent parts of the graphs for these four diffusion coefficients in more complicated systems. s5

Because this choice of reference frame is not arbitrary the subscript v is omitted in the symbol (D,)m; the subscript number after D is included to designate the system considered (1 for HzO-choline chloride or 2 for H20-KCI).

(40) Relations 17 and 18 were obtained by taking the appropriate limits of eq 19 and 20 of ref 8, after first multiplying the latter equations by ratios of the solute molecular weights so they will give diffusion coefficients corresponding to grams instead of moles (see ref 41). When the equations of ref 8 were derived, only the requirements of electroneutrality and zero net electric current were considered; hence the electrophoretic effect, the time of relaxation effect, and the effects of changes of activity coefficients with concentrations were neglected. These effects should not influence relations 17 and 18 for infinite dilution, but they may contribute substantially to values of the (Di,)" as the solute concentrations are increased. Because the electrolyte concentrations used in this investigation are relatively high, no comparison is included of the (Dlj)\r reported in Table II with values predicted from the equations of ref 8.
