(Received JuZy 24, 1968)

Conductance measurements are reported for Me4NC1, BudNC1, XIerNBr, Et&&, PrrNBr, BuiNBr, E t X I , Phh-1, Bu~NI, i-Am3BuNI,HeptaNI, and Bu4NC104in 1-butanol and BurNBr,Bu4NI,i-.lmsBuN, and Kept (SI in 1-pentauol at 25'. The data were analyzed by the Fuoss-Onsager equation. The extent of ionic associatioil was found to increase with increasing size of the anion and is discussed in terms of a multiple-step association process. The variation of ionic mobilities in methanol, ethanol, l-propanol, and l-butanol is compared to that predicted by the Zwaiizig equation niid found to agree only in a qualitative maimer. Introduction This is the second in a series of papers discussing the transport properties of electrolytes in hydrogen-bonded solvents. I n the first paperJ2the conductances of the tetraalkylammonium salts in ethanol and propanol at 25' were reported. Contrary to the predictions of electrostatic theory, ionic association of these salts was found to increase with increasing anion size. I n an effort to obtain further information about this homologous series of solvents, we have extended the measurements to the higher alcohols l-butanol and 1pentanol. Experimental Section The tetraalkylammonium salts were purified by recrystallization. The solvents used in the recrystallization and the temperature at which the salts were dried have been given e l ~ e w h e r e . ~ - ~ Conductivity grade l-butanol arid l-pentanol were prepared by drying Fisher reagent grade alcohol over calcium oxide for several days and then distilling from a fresh batch of calcium oxide. The distillations were carried out in a 1.3-m Stedman column under nitrogen, and only the middle fraction was retained. The densities of butanol and pentanol a t 25" were found to be 0.80576 and 0.81096, respectively. These values are in agreement with those given in the literature, 0.80572 for butanol5 and OS110 for pentanolS6 The viscosities of butmol and pentanol, 0.02589 and 0.03476 P, respectively, were determined in two Cannon Ubbelohde viscometers. The dielectric constants were measured in the allglass platinum cells described by Kay and Vidulich.6 The value of ~~5 17.45 found for butanol is in agreement with that given by Dannhauser and B ~ i h e €25 , ~ 17.51. The value of €25 15.04 was determined for pentanol. The electrical equipment, conductance cells, and techniques were similar to those reported previously.2-4'8 Briefly, the measurements were carried out The Journal of Phusical Chemistry

in Kraus-type conductance cells and increments of salt were added to the cell in small Pyrex cups with the aid of the Hax-es-Kay cup-dropping device,g except for suns I1 for Ale4NC1 and Bu4XCl. Because of the extreme hygroscopic nature of these salts and the difficulties in weighing (with sufficient accuracy) the small amounts required, the results obtained with the cup-dropping device mere checked using a JZininx weight buret with Teflon stopcock. The cell was initially filled with solvent to a level above that of the tubes which connect the electrode compartments to the erlennieyer flask. &4 concentrated stock solution was added to the conductance cell from the weight buret in small increments. The manipulations were held t>oa minimum and were accomplished rapidly to minimize contamination by atmospheric moisture.1° Results The measured equivalent conductances and the corresponding electrolyte concentrations in moles per liter are shown in Table I for l-butanol and Table I1 for 1-pentsnol. Also given is A , the density increment used to calculate the volume concentration. These increments were obtained by density measurements on the most concentrated solutions used in the conductance (1) To whom all correspondence should be directed. (2) D. F. Evans and P. Gardam, J .

D. FENNELL EVANS AND PHILIP GARDAM calculated from the corresponding values in methanol using the Walden product. When the calculated values were compared with those obtained from trnnsference numbers, they agreed to within 1%. The limiting ionic conductances for ions in butanol given in Table IV were estimated by a similar procedure using the limiting ionic conductance for i-Am3BuNf and He4N+ ions in ethanol and the ethanol-butanol viscosity ratio. An iodide value of 9.32 0.01 was obtained from Ao(i-AmrBuN1) - Xo(i-Am3BuN+) and Ao(Hept4NI) Xo(I-Iept4N+).

Limiting Ionic Conductances. Shown in Figure 3. is a plot of X O vs. ~ l/rz, the reciprocal of the estimated crystallographic radius of an ion, for ions in the four alcohols, methan01,~ethanolJ2propano1,z and butanol. The A07 product in the alcohols shows considerable variation for the smaller ions. This is the type of behavior to be expected from solvation, since the mobility of the ions should decrease as the size of the solvent molecules increases. However, a decrease in mobility with decreasing dielectric constant, eo, and increasing relaxation time, 7,is also in accord with the predictions of the Boyd-Zwanzig equation14 A07 =

where B is a function of solvent properties only and is given by B = ( 2 e 2 / 3 ) ( ~ / 7 ) [ (-~ ~e)/eO2]. This theory takes into account the retardation due to the relaxation of solvent dipoles around a moving ion and is in essence a correction to Stokes law. Equation 2 is based on continuum theory and is a t present the most complete solution to the problem of ionic mobilities based on this model. I n a recent discussion of this theoryJ16 it was demonstrated that it will not account for (1) the temperature dependence of ionic mobilities in aqueous solution, where structural effects are present, (2) the variation in mobilities in nonaqueous solvents such as methanol, ethanol, and acetonitrile, which appear to be determined by specific ion-solvent interactions, and (3) the change in ion mobility in HzOEtOH or HzO-dioxane mixtures, where solvent struc(13) H.V.

A value of i can be obtained from both the intercept and slope. Shown in Figure 2 is a plot of L* us. R* for cations and anions in the four alcohols, and the points for a given ion are scattered about a straight line. The extent to which this scatter reflects the failure of eq 2, or to what extent it reflects the uncertainty in r and consequently in R*, cannot be determined at this time. This scatter indicates an uncertainty of about 20% in r . However, any line drawn within the scatter of the points will still give values of ;from the slope which differ from those determined from the intercept by a factor of 3 to 10. For example, two lines drawn through the points for the bromides, with the maximum and minimum slope possible, gave +(slope) = 6.55 and ;(intercept) = 2.01, and ;(slope) = 8.15 and ;(intercept) = 2.34, respectively.

Thus it would appear that salts in the alcohols follow the simple exponential law predicted by electrostatics, as is the case with the ketones, and that only the magnitude of K A needs to be explained.
