isomers could be present with H, and Ha arising from C4 isomers and H, and H, arising from D4 isomers (cf. assignments in Figure 9). In contrast, the regularly stacked tetramers of 2’-GMP exhibit two H(8) resonances of unequal intensity. This is precisely the result expected for the presence of all isomers, provided that twisting about the C4 axis is fast. For fast twisting and degenerate chemical shifts for isomer pairs with equivalent base-overlap patterns, one time-averaged H(8) resonance should occur for the two C4 isomers and one time-averaged line should also be observed for the four D4isomers. If twisting about the C4axis was slow, as in the case of ordered 5’-GMP,31 then one would have to conclude that the C4 isomers are absent. However, there is no apparent reason why this should be so, and we tend to favor the explanation based on fast tetramer twisting. That twisting should be faster for 2’-GMP than 5’-GMP is not surprising, because we find no evidence for structure stabilizing intertetramer H bonding or Na’ chelation by phosphate oxygens for 2’-GMP. The importance of phosphate position in governing the aggregation properties of alkali-metal G M P salts cannot be overemphasized. Phosphate position also is important in regulating the association of the nucleotide in the presence of organocations like TMA. It is rather remarkable that TMA inhibits the ordered stacking of Na+-directed 2’-GMP tetramers but not 5‘-GMP tetramers. Apparently, ion pairing between TMA and the phosphate oxygens in 2‘-GMP tetramers sterically interfere with their ordered stacking, whereas in the regularly stacked 5’-GMP tetramers the chelation of Na’ by phosphates on adjacent tetramers competes favorably with TMA-phosphate ion pairing. The steric inhibition of regularly stacked 2’-GMP tetramers by TMA also is supported by the results of the mixed nucleotide experiments. Although TMA alone does not inhibit the ordered stacking of 5’-GMP tetramers, inhibition is observed when both (31) The rate of H, 9 H binterchange for ordered Naz(5.’-GMP)(C, isomer twisting) has been estimated to be only 0.3 s-’ by spin-saturation transfer measurements.2’

TMA and 2’-GMP are present. This suggests that TMA-(2’GMP) ion pairs substituted for 5’-GMP units in 5’-GMP tetramers and sterically inhibit ordered stacking of the mixed [(2’GPM),(S’-GMP)+.,] units. There is no evidence for ordered stacking of the mixed tetramers since nonequivalent H(8) environments are not observed by NMR. However, disordered stacking of the rapidly exchanging mixed tetramers most likely occurs, because the time-averaged H(8) resonance of each nucleotide moves to higher field with increasing concentration or decreasing temperature. (TMA),(2’-GMP) does not form ordered self-structures and exhibits little or no tendency toward disordered monomer stacking, as judged from the absence of an appreciable concentration or temperature dependence of the H(8) chemical shift. Therefore, the driving force for mixed tetramer formation is provided not only by the entropy of mixing but also by the interbase H-bond stabilization and disordered stacking enthalpy gained by incorporation of TMA-(2’-GMP) ion pairs into tetramer units. These latter factors are quite important to the overall driving force, because no nucleotide redistribution occurs between Na+-directed 2‘-GMP tetramers and regularly stacked 5’-GMP tetramers. In this case, the H-bond stabilization and stacking forces lie in favor of the symmetrical tetramer units and more than compensate for the entropy of mixing. Note Added in Proof. Led and Gesmar3* have recently investigated twisting in 5’-GMP octamers by 3iPmagnetizationtransfer N M R studies.

Vibrational Spectral Studies of Solutions at Elevated Temperatures and Pressures. 8. A Raman Spectral Study of Ammonium Hydrogen Sulfate Solutions and the HSO,--SO,*- Equilibrium B. S. W. Dawson, D. E. Irish,* and G . E. Toogood Guelph- Waterloo Centre for Graduate Work in Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario N2L 3G1, Canada (Received: July 10, 1985)

Raman spectra of aqueous ammonium hydrogen sulfate solutions spanning a temperature range from 25 to 300 OC,at a pressure of 10 MPa, have been measured. The conversion of sulfate to hydrogen sulfate ion is virtually complete at 300 O C . The relative integrated intensitiesof the 980-cm-I line of SO?-and the 1040-1050-cm-’ lines of HSO, have been measured. The relative integrated molal intensities are almost independent of temperature. From the intensities, the populations of the species SO?- and HSO, have been calculated and thus the change in the degree of dissociation of the acid with temperature has been measured. The equilibrium constant has been partitioned into two terms-the concentration quotient Q, and the activity coefficient quotient Q?.The latter changes with temperature much less than the former. The contributions of each to the standard enthalpy change, AHo, have been estimated. The marked shift of the @-(OH)) vibration of HS04- to lower frequencies as the temperature rises is linked to the changes in hydrogen bonding resulting from changes in the structure of the liquid water and the interaction between water and HS04-.

Introduction Sulfuric acid is of importance in high-temperature aqueous chemistry because the second acid dissociation is related to the base hydrolysis of sulfate.’ The dissociation anstant and related

thermodynamic parameters at 25 O C have been measured by a variety of methods. Early investigations have been reviewed and were shown to yield concordant Values.* More recent studies include heat capacity mea~urements,~ ~pectrophotometry$~ emf,G8

The vibrational spectrum provides frequencies, intensities, and other band properties which often allow one to identify the species present, their populations, the chemical processes taking place, and their dependence on concentration, temperature, and pressure.17 At the same time, the accuracy with which populations can be measured is considerably less than in, for example, emf measurements, and the lack of knowledge of activity coefficients makes a rigorous transition to thermodynamic parameters virtually impossible. Nevertheless the detailed information about species, equilibrium states, and the degree of dissociation of an electrolyte makes a unique and useful contribution to the subject.

previous studies at 25 0C18,19 to the high-temperature regime. The molal intensities of S042-and HS04- have been measured over a 275-deg temperature range. These values have been used to estimate the concentrations of species and to thus characterize the equilibrium states.

Experimental Section Spectra were recorded with a digitally driven Jarrell-Ash 25- 100 1.O-m double Czemy-Turner monochromator with an RCA 3 1034 photomultiplier and SSR Model 1105/ 1120 photon-counting system. Spectra were excited with the 514.5-nm line of a Spectra-Physics argon ion laser Model 165-08 operating at 800 mW. Instrument control and data collection were performed with a Commodore 2001 computer interfaced to the spectrometer and to a H P 7470A plotter. Band fitting of overlapping lines was performed with a BNDFT program3' operating on an IBM 4341 computer. Spectra of the high-temperature samples were obtained by using the furnace assembly described p r e v i o ~ s l y . ~Pressures ~ were maintained at 10 MPA; no vapor phase was present. The spectral slit width (6 cm-I) and geometry of the optical assembly was maintained constant. For temperatures of 25 and 50 "C, samples were sealed in thin-walled capillary tubes and held in a thermostated copper block. The data of Table I were recorded with 100-pm slits (3 cm-l) and calibrated with the 1031.49-cm-' neon line. All solutions were prepared with Analar-grade reagents; anhydrous sodium sulfate and ammonium hydrogen sulfate were heated for 2 h at 105 "C and cooled in a desiccator prior to use, while sodium perchlorate was stored in a desiccator. Distilled, deionized water was used. We have chosen to use the temperature-independent composition variable molality (mol kg-' of water) rather than molarity for this work. The composition ranges studied were up to 2.9 m sodium sulfate and 8.7 m ammonium hydrogen sulfate; the molality of the internal standard, sodium perchlorate, was kept at about 0.3. All samples were filtered through 0.6-pm Polyvic BD Millipore filters before injection into the Raman cells. Results and Discussion Sodium Sulfate. The tetrahedral sulfate ion generates four Raman bands, nominally at 451 (v2, e), 618 (v4, f2), 981 ( v I ,a'), and 1104 cm-' ( v 3 , f2). Our primary concern is with the intense, polarized symmetric stretching mode of vibration, v,(al). The integrated band depolarization ratio from a 1.1 m solution of N a 2 S 0 4was 0.0006; thus the band profile is essentially that of the isotropic component. The positions and the full widths of this band, measured at one-half the peak height (fwhm) for temperatures spanning the range 25 to 250 "C and with a spectral slit width of 3 cm-I, are reported in Table I. The effect of the finite slit width has been removed by using eq 2 of Tanabe and H i r a i ~ h i . The ~ ~ band positions (25 "C) are 0.5- to 1.5-cm-' higher than values given by Dean and W i l k i n ~ o n . ~(Note ~ an error in the latter paper; uo should read 980.75 cm-I.) The band positions increase with increasing concentration and decrease with increasing temperature. This decrease correlates with a lower force constant or a longer bond length. As the temperature rises the hydrogen-bonded structure of liquid water is weakened35 and the anion-water hydrogen bonds are also weakened and distorted. The mean bond length appears to be increased when the strength of this anion-solvent interaction is diminished. The Raman band is simultaneously broadened, indicating shorter mean lifetimes in a particular vibrational state. Fujita and K i m ~ r suggest a ~ ~ that the v, mode of sulfate ions in aqueous solutions is modulated by (28) Ikawa, S.; Yamada, M.; Kimura, M. J . Raman Spectrosc. 1977, 6, 89. (29) Zarakhani, N.

a very low-frequency mode, probably associated with the hydrogen bond making and breaking in water. Such a mode would be degraded at 300 O C . The first requirement for a quantitative analysis of the Raman band profiles of the acidic solutions was to establish the molal scattering coefficients (called molal intensities of species i to emphasize that the concentration is in mol kg-] of water and abbreviated J,) at each temperature of interest for the vl(al) symmetric stretching band of the sulfate ion. With these values available it will be assumed that the concentration of species i, m,, can be obtained from the relative integrated band intensities of species i, I,, from the equation I, = Jim,. A low concentration (about 0.3 m ) of NaC104 was added to each Na2S04solution to provide an internal intensity standard, viz. the vl(al) symmetric stretching band of C104-at 935 cm-'. The use of Clod- as an internal standard is justified because perchlorate ions do not interact strongly with metal ions in solution and thus competing equilibria can frequently be neglected. We have also recently shown that perchloric acid continues to be a strong acid to at least 200 OC for concentrations as high as 3 mol water per mol of HC104.37 Solution density decreases with increasing temperatures when pressure is held constant. However, it is not necessary to correct intensities for density changes because the correction applies equally to the intensity from the sample and the intensity from the standard and thus cancels in the ratio. In independent experiments the integrated intensity of the 935cm-' line of C104- from a 0.52 m solution was found to be independent of pressure (better than 1%) over the range 3 to 13.5 MPa, and independent of temperature over the range 25 to 250 "C. Thus the standard appears to be good and the populations inferred from the relative intensities correctly correspond to constant pressure experiments. Overlap between the two bands of interest, 981 and 935 cm-I, is minor and was easily resolvable with the BNDFT program. The C104- band envelope consists of two bands, the vl(al) fundamental and a lower-frequency shoulder which has been tentatively assigned to an overtone of the v2(e) bending mode of ClO,, which occurs at 462 cm-', and which can be in Fermi resonance with the fundamental ~ ~ ( a , For ) . ~this ~ study, as for all past quantitative studies, the area of the entire perchlorate band envelope was employed. Intensities were measured for four or five compositions at five temperatures ranging from 25 to 250 OC. Spectra of Na2S04solutions could not be obtained at 300 or 250 O C for the 2.88 m sample because of precipitation of NazS04(s). The solubility of Na2S04 drops sharply above 240 "C, where a high-temperature solid phase becomes stable relative to the saturated solution.38 For each temperature the relative intensities I were plotted against sulfate molality and the molal intensity values, JSo4z-,were obtained by linear regression. The values are presented in Table 11. Within experimental error the molal intensity is independent of temperature. The slope ( d J / d T ) , = -1.34(10e4) 5.7(10-5). The regression coefficient is -0.76. This temperature independence was also observed from (NH4),S04solutions over the temperature range 25 to 85 "C by Hayes et al.39

Ammonium Hydrogen Sulfate Solutions. The hydrogen sulfate ion can be described in terms of C3usymmetry if the O H group is considered as a point mass (a distorted five-atom tetrahedron); otherwise it will have C, or CIsymmetry. The normal modes of vibration will span the following representations for the two cases C3uand C, respectively:

+ 3e (R, ir) (R, ir) + 4a" (R, ir)

I'(C3u)= 3a1 (R, ir) I'(C,) = 8a'

Of the 12 normal modes (C,), three belong to OH group vibrations: 0-H stretching contributes weak, broad Raman intensity in the 2900-cm-' region (overlapping with the spectrum of water and Hag'); S-O-H bending gives infrared intensity at 1340 cm-'; the S-O-H torsional mode is expected at lower f r e q u e n c i e ~ .Three ~~ of the nine remaining 0'-SO, skeletal modes will become degenerate under C,, symmetry and only six bands, coincident in the infrared and Raman spectra, are then predicted. The vibrational spectrum of the hydrogen sulfate anion in aqueous solution is obscured by bands of sulfate produced by (39) Hayes, A. C.; Kruus, P.; Adams, W. A. J . Solution Chem. 1984, 13, 61.

dissociation; band parameters are also sensitive to temperature, concentration, and the cation. In earlier work the spectrum of a 50 mol % solution of NH4HS04at 93 “ C was recorded to reveal the important features, because for this system bands of S042are strongly suppressed, and the NH4+cation is similar in many respects to water.I8 The spectrum of HS04- in aqueous 3.8 m NH4HS04solution at 300 O C is presented in Figure 1. All bands of S042-are suppressed and thus bands of the HSO, are clearly revealed. This spectrum consists of six lines and, in the absence of corresponding infrared data, these can be correlated with the C,,model (Table 111). There are several noteworthy features. The two lowest frequency bands have very symmetrical line shapes and there is no indication of the lifting of degeneracy (as has been observed in both infrared and Raman spectra of solutions at 25 OC,@ and of solids41) which would have indicated a symmetry as low as the C, point group. The assignment of the 585-cm-’ line to v3(al)is consistent with the observed depolarization ratio, which is lower than that of the 422-cm-l band, and is also consistent with the observations of Clark and Woodward42based on comparison with the spectrum of (CH,Hg)SO;, and of Dhamelincourt et aL41 who studied solid and molten NH4HS04. The S-(OH) band shifts 50 to 70 cm-’ lower in frequency as the temperature is raised from 25 to 300 “ C (Figures 2 and 3). At temperatures less than 150 OC the band shifts downward by a few wavenumbers as the concentration is increased, but above 150 OC this concentration dependence is reversed-1 2 cm-’ upward for 0.65 to 7.2 m at 300 OC. This band occurs in the range 823-844 cm-l for the molten salt, KHS04;43,44 it shifts to lower values (823 cm-I) on heating in the presence of S2072-.44A similar shift to lower wavenumbers on heating has also been observed for the N-(OH) band of nitric acid45and, on decreasing water content, for the C1-(OH) band of perchloric acid.)’ In crystals the %(OH) bond length is greater than the S-0 length and is sensitive to the cation and structure.46 It appears that HS04-binds more strongly to water, through the S-0-H--OH2 hydrogen bond, than it does to other HS04- or cation units. These hydrogen bonds lengthen

As the temperature rises the hydrogen bonding is weakened (both between water molecules35and between water and HS04-) and the 0-H bond shortens, the S-(OH) bond lengthens and the band position of the S-(OH) vibration decreases. This decrease can also be realized by replacing the water in the

Even in the molten salt the OH group of the HS04- is interacting strongly with other HS04- or K+ ions, and the strength of this interaction is diminished by raising the temperature. However for the aqueous solutions the upward shift with increase of the NH4HS04molality at 300 "C suggests that the proximity of the ammonium cation can cause shortening and strengthening of the S-(OH) bond, both in solution and in the crystal.41 The intense band at ca. 1050 cm-I (SO3 stretching mode) is clearly asymmetrical and can be resolved into two components. The components shift downward by a few wavenumbers on increasing the molality and shift upward on increasing the temperature. Thus as the S-(OH) bond lengthens, the S-0 bonds shorten and become stronger. The lower frequency band component is in the range of 2.0 to 1.5 times as broad (fwhm) as the high-frequency component. The fwhm of both bands increase with increasing concentration and decrease with increasing temperature. In acidic media at 25 "C the increase in the fwhm of the uI(al) band of has been shown to be directly proportional to the hydronium c o n ~ e n t r a t i o n . 'This ~ ~ ~dependence ~ was linked to the change in the fwhm of the 1050-cm-' band and explained in terms of the proton transfer occurring in these s y ~ t e m s . ' ~ At * ' ~elevated ~~~ temperatures other processes contribute to the fwhm, making this a complex property. It is difficult to obtain unique band fits48 and in the subsequent population analysis the total band intensity under the contour was used as a measure of the HS04- population and was found to be directly proportional to the HS04- concentration. This is justification for assigning both components to the HS04- species, as done in earlier ~ o r k . ' ~The . ~suggestion ~ of Turner25that the two bands reveal two kinds of differently aquated HS04- in equilibrium is refuted because one of the pair would be expected to disappear at higher temperatures where the water-to-molecule ion hydrogen bond would be broken. Dhamelincourt et aL4]suggested that the 1044-cm-I band arises from the 6,(SOH) angle bending mode, coupled to the u,(S03) stretching mode at 1022 cm-l. 1044 cm-l is low for such a mode and leaves the infrared-active 1340-cm-' band (shifted on deuteration to 983 cm-l 40 ) unaccounted for. The assignment of this doublet is not obvious, using the C3, model. Although an overtone or combination cannot be excluded, the slight nonequivalence of the three S-0 bonds (giving C, symmetry) could yield two different, but closely coupled, symmetric S-0 vibration^.^^ A splitting arising from proton transfer may also be a possibility. This point requires further theoretical consideration. The 1 195-cm-I band is virtually all anisotropic scattering (Figure l), indicating e (or a") symmetry. In summary the observed number of balids at 300 OC is less than the number predicted for a six-atom species with C, symmetry. Both our depolarization measurements and those reported by Fehrmann et al.44do suggest that both of the lower bands are polarized, despite their failure to exhibit shoulders or other evidence of splitting. Thus the number of polarized bands is greater than the number predicted for a five-atom species with C3,symmetry; the doublet structure of the 1043-cm-I band also suggests a lower symmetry. Thus the symmetry perturbation produced by the hydrogen atom must be small in the molten and solution states. Possibly the rapid torsional motions of the O H group at temperatures where the hydrogen bond strength is greatly diminished randomize the position of the hydrogen atom to give an effective C,,symmetry to the molecule and the degeneracies are not lifted. Further work on these band shapes is required. Raman spectra of a sample of 4.10 m NH,HS04, containing 0.388 m NaC10, to provide the internal standard, obtained at three temperatures, 50, 150, and 300 OC, are presented in Figure 3. The asymmetric 935-cm-I band of C104- is clear and requires no discussion. The intensity of the band at 98 1 cm-I, from S042-, decreases as the temperature rises and the intensity of bands at 1040-1050 cm-I, due to HS04-, increases with temperature, (47) Ikawa, S . ; Yamada, M.; Kimura, M.

consistent with the shift of the point of equilibrium to favor the HSO,. The 830-cm-' band is seen to be shifted from a markedly higher value at 25 OC. In addition to its intrinsic interest, described above, this shift makes measurement of the intensity of the standard more accurate at higher temperatures. At the highest temperature, where S042-has a very low concentration, the 1195-cm-' band of HS04- is clear; at the lowest temperature the band of SO4*-at 1104 cm-I overlaps the 1195-cm-' band. The results of BNDFT analysis for three compositions at 100 OC and one composition at 100 and 300 OC are shown in Figure 4. Up to eight component Lorentzian-Gaussian bands are requird to fit the spectrum: two for the ul(al) C104- band, two for the .,(al) and V3(f2)SOd2- bands, and four bands of HS04-. Successful deconvolution was achieved for temperatures greater than 100 OC and less concentrated than 6 m. Outside of this range the overlap between the 935-cm-' band and the ca. 895-cm-I band was too severe. The essential intensity ratios could, however, be obtained by using N H 4 H S 0 4solutions without NaC104 present. Representative line positions and fwhm values are presented in Table 111.

This is further justification that the two bands at ca. 1040 and 1050 cm-' are correctly assigned to HS04-. For NH4HS04samples at 25 and 50 OC, for which the S-(OH) vibration occurs in the region 895 to 898 cm-I, the band areas overlapped severely and were difficult to obtain by computer resolution when Clod- (935 cm-l) was present. However, the degree of dissociation can be obtained from the ratio of intensities of the 980- and 1040-1050-~m-~ pair of bands, R, once the ratio of J values is known. Thus

obtained by introducing eq 6 and 5 into eq 1. Values of a for the complete temperature and composition range are presented in Table IV. For six temperatures the values of a are shown plotted against concentration in Figure 5. There is clearly considerable scatter but some facts are apparent. A rapid decline in a occurs between 25 and 150 OC; above this temperature range the change in CY with increasing temperature is small (Figure 6). Above 0.5 m values of a become almost composition independent for temperatures greater than 100 "C and even for 5 0 O C for compositions greater than 1 m (Table IV). For temperatures greater than 200 OC the data suggest that a increases with increasing composition, but this inference may not be valid considering the low values and the experimental error. The values of a at 25 and 50 O C from this analysis are closer to those given by Young et aLZ0than those of Irish and Chen.'* The latter attributed less intensity to the sulfate and bisulfate bands because a small intensity was attributed to the H,0+.S042-ion pair.

the wide temperature range of this study the inclusion of a band from such a species was not necessary to achieve computer fits within experimental error. We have thus chosen to describe the chemistry in terms of the simple dissociation reaction defined previously. The activity coefficient quotient is unknown for the compositions and temperatures of interest and extended Debye-Hiickel equations cannot be assumed at such high concentrations. Thus our data cannot rigorously lead to estimates of K 2 . However, if we assume values of K2 from the literature it is of interest to examine the trend of Q, with composition and temperature. The fitted values of K2 of Lietzke et a1.I' (their eq 10 and Table I) have been assumed for this purpose. Mroczek' has recently measured K , by the emf method and has critically compared the existing data. Between 100 and 150 O C his values are somewhat smaller than those of Lietzke et al. H e recommends the data of Lietzke et al. above 150 OC and we have used them across the range for consistency. Values of Q, were then calculated by dividing K, by the measured Q, values. Values of -In K,, -In Q,, and -In Q, are presented in Table V. In Figure 7 -In Q, is plotted against concentration for three temperatures. The stoichiometric In activity coefficients of HZSO4 are shown on the same figure for reference.49 Again care must be taken not to overinterpret the results, in view of uncertainty in the data. A few facts can be inferred. Q, is small (less than 0.05 over most of the range). Values decrease with increasing concentration. The lowness of the values confirms the large departure from ideal solution behavior. Powellsohas critically assessed the procedures (49) Staples, B. R. J . Phys. Chem. Rex Data 1981, IO, 119

The resulting values are collected in Table VII. One can see that the consistency of the calculation is as good as can be expected, given the small data base and the experimental error. Several conclusions can tentatively be drawn for this reaction: (1) In Q, is a slowly varying function of temperature; (2) below about 100 O C the contribution of Q, to AHo is endothermic whereas at higher temperatures it is exothermic; (3) the contribution varies with temperature and is zero at a temperature near 100 O C ; (4) the "apparent AH" values obtained by fitting In Q, to temperature are within at least 30% of the correct thermodynamic values, the closeness being obviously sensitive to the temperature selected. Very recently Kruus et al.55reported a mean AHcvalue (concentrations were expressed as mol L-I solution) of -37 f5 kJ mol', obtained from Raman intensities of NH4HS04 solutions measured for the temperatures 25, 55, and 85 OC. As far as we know this is the first report of the temperature dependence of Q., for a reaction. Raman spectroscopy is particularly well suited for measuring Q,, although, as with any technique, it has its limitations: base line error; band overlap; uniqueness of a signal to a particular species; appropriateness of the molar intensity obtained from a completely dissociated salt for estimation of the species concentration in acid media; the inertness of the internal standard; the limited sensitivity. Despite these limitations it appears that Raman spectroscopy can make some unique contributions which will lead to a deeper understanding of thermodynamic nonideality and complement the information obtained by other techniques. Future work will be directed at collecting data for optimum concentrations with improved precision for many more temperatures.
