Recent theoretical studies have aroused new interest in the study of the viscosity of aqueous solutions. The measurements reported in this paper were made during a study of the physical properties of certain solutions that were, in the main, of non-aqueous character. As concerns viscosity the intention was primarily to test equations developed by Jones and his students (4, 5 ) b y attempting to apply them to the viscosities of non-aqueous solutions. MATERIALS

Absolute ethyl alcohol was prepared by repeated treatment with finely divided, freshly dehydrated calcium oxide. Aldehydes and other impurities were removed by the usual methods, and the product was thoroughly fractionated. Precautions were taken to exclude air and moisturc a t all times. The purity of the product was checked by measurements of the refractive index and the density. Only freshly prepared alcohol was used in making up the solutions. Carefully prepared conductivity water was used in making up aqueous solutions or solutions in mixed solvents containing water. Carbon tetrachloride mas purified by the method of McClendon (7). Pure, anhydrous acetic acid and ethyl acetate were further treated to remove water and fractionally distilled. Stannic chloride was prepared by distillation from a mixturc of the hydrate and concentrated sulfuric acid, and precautions were taken to prevent the decomposition of the acid. The anhydrous, liquid stannic chloride was collected in small tubes, which were sealed without allowing the contents to be exposed to the atmosphere. The purity of the product was checked by density measurements. Ferric chloride was prepared by treating thoroughly cleaned and dried pure iron with chlorine. All other salts 1 This paper has been prepaied from a portion of a thesis submitted by Frank E.

were prepared by thoroughly purifying and. carefully dehydrating the purest products obtainable. METHOD

The viscosities of the solutions were nieasured in a modified forni of the Ostwald type of viscometer. Precautions were taken to prevent changes in concentration by evaporation of volatile solvents and contamination with moisture from the air. The rneasurenients were made at E 0 C . & 0 . 0 5 O , and were checked by several determinations for each solution. The viscometers were cleaned and dricd with absolute alcohol and pure dry air. They were standardized with pure water. The time of flow was measured with a stop watch, which wab accurate in readings to 0.1 sec. The density measurements were made in pycnometers of approximately 25-ml. capacity in a constant temperature bath at 25°C. and calculated with reference to pure, carbon dioxide-frw water a t 4°C.

R E S U L T S A N D DISCUSSION

The densities and relative viscosities (with reference t o the viscosity of water as 0.00894 poise a t 25'C.) of solutions of nickel chloride, cobalt chloride, cupric chloride, ferric chloride, cadmium chloride, aluminum chloride, stannic chloride, and mercuric chloride in ethyl alcohol as the solvent are shown in table 2. The viscosities of six of these solutions are plotted against the weight fractions of the solutes in figure 1. The results show that these salts increase the viscosity of ethyl alcohol in the following .order: NiC'12 > hlCl3 > CoClz > CuC12 > FeC13 > CdC1, > SnCL > HgC12. Tlic result.: for solutions of aluminum chloride, nickel chloride, cupric chloridc, and cadniiuin chloride in water are shown in table 3 . The

caused by ions appears to be substantiated, at least in part, by a comparison of the results in alcoholic and aqueous solutions. If the change in viscosity, or the viscosity increment, Aq, is plotted against the weight fraction of the same solute in different solvents, the curves are found to rise more steeply in every case for the solutions in ethyl alcohol than they do for the aqueous solutions. This might be predicted from the interionic attraction theory. The "tightening" effect and consequent increase in viscosity should probably be less in water than in alcohol, because of the great difference in the dielectric constants of the two liquids.

methyl alcohol were found (in work not reported here) to lie in all caws between the curves for ethyl alcohol and water. The effect of a solute upon the viscosity of a solvent has also been explained frequently as the result of the action of particles of the dissolved substance upon the association of solvent molecules. I n an effort to dctermine the effect of a change of solvent upon the viscosity of a solution of aluminum chloride, the viscosities of solutions in different mixtures of ethyl alcohol and hvater were investigated. These two solvents were selected because the viscosity-mole fraction curve for these two liquids shows a very decided maximum. This maximum has long been recognized and is generally attributed to "further association and eventually complex

formation" by the two liquids. This is in accordance with the thcory of Dunstan and Thole (2), although it is sometimes stated that such maxima arc cauaed by dissociation of "associated complexes" or of molecules. The viscosities of solutions of aluminum chloride in different mixtures of ethyl alcohol and water are given in table 4 and shown graphically in figure 2. If the theory of Dunstan and Thole is correct, it appears that the addition of aluminum chloride to a mixture of ethyl alcohol and water leads to an increase in the association of t h r two liquids, since the solute

increases the viscosity of the mixture corresponding to the maximum more than it does any other mixture of the two solvents. I t is difficult to rsplain these results purely upon the basis of ionic effects. Minima in viscosity-concentration curves (1, 9) have been explained by assuming that one substance causes the dissociation of associated niolecules of the other. Results of this character are shown by our data for mixtures of ethyl alcohol and carbon tetrachloride (table 5 and figure 3). The position of the minimum in the region of dilute solutions of ethyl alcohol carries out thc idea that dissociation is more complete at high diliition.

VISCOSITIES O F NON-AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS

The curves for aluminum chloride and nickel chloride in ethyl alcohol differ from those of the other salts in that the straight lines connecting the points pass below the zero of the vertical axis. This means that for these solutions the value of the constant A is negative. The meaning of the constants A and B has been considered by Falkenhagen and Vernon (3), Jones and Dole (4), and Jones and Talley ( 5 ) . Fallienhagen and TTernoncompute A for aqueous solutions of a uni-univalent salt by means of the following equation:

of the two ions a t zero concentrations. This equation shows that the value of A is determined largely by the different factors involved in the Debye-Huckel theory. For a given salt in a given solvent, A depends upon the valence type of the salt, upon the dielectric constant of the solvent, and upon the mobilities of the ions of the salt. Of the factors that determine B, very little is known at the present time, but results obtained (2) with aqueous solutions of sucrose and urea indicate that the value of this constant depends upon factors that involve relationships between mo!ecules of solute and solvent, rather than ions. The results obtained in this investigation for a majority of the salts in ethyl alcohol show that the conditions determining A are not of great

1138

significance, or possibly that the effects of different factors cancel each other. The negative values of A for solutions of aluminum chloride and nickel chloride in ethyl alcohol must arise, according to the equation of Falkenhagen and Yernon, from very great differences in the mobilities of the ions present in the solution. Such a condition might be expected in solutions coiitaiiiing highly complex solvated metallic ions and simple anions. Although they are somewhat apart from the other results reported in this papc'r, we have added in table i the viscosities of solutions of mercuric chloride in glacial acetic acid and stannic chloride in ethyl acetate. So far as we know the viscosities of these solutions have not been reported previously. The results for stannic chloride in ethyl acetate show a sharp increase in slope a t higher concentrations, indicating a probable maximum and complex formation. This solution gives a negative value for A and a positive value for B in the Falkeiihagen and Vernon equation. SUMMAH1'

The viscosities arid densities of solutions of eight metallic (ahlorides in ethyl alcohol, of solutions of four of the same salts in water, of aluminum chloride in mixtures of ethyl alcohol and water, of mercuric chloride in acetic acid, of stannic chloride in ethyl acetatr, and of carbon tetrachloride in ethyl alcohol are reported. All of the salts studied increased the viscosity of the solvent, and the viscosity increase is greater for alcohol than for water. Aluminum chloride increases the viscosity of the solution of ethyl alcohol and water having the maximum viscosity to a greater extent than it does the viscosity of any other niisture of these two liquids. The viscosity-concentration curve for mixtures of ethyl alcohol and carbon tetrachloride has been shown to give a minimum.
