Volumetric and Viscometric Studies of Amino Acids in Vitamin B6 Aqueous Solutions at Various Temperatures

Abstract

The densities and viscosities of glycine, l-alanine, l-valine, l-threonine, and l-arginine in (0.1 to 0.4) mol·kg<sup>–1</sup> vitamin B6 aqueous solutions were measured and studied over the entire molality range at (293.15, 303.15, 313.15, and 323.15) K and atmospheric pressure. The apparent molar volume (<i>V</i><sub>ϕ</sub>), limiting partial molar volume (<i>V</i><sub>ϕ</sub><sup>0</sup>), and limiting partial molar volume of transfer (Δ<sub>tr</sub><i>V</i><sub>ϕ</sub><sup>0</sup>) were obtained according to the experimental density data. The viscosity data were employed to determine the viscosity <i>B</i> coefficients, the free energies of activation per mole of solvent (Δμ<sub>1</sub><sup>0⇌</sup>) and solute (Δμ<sub>2</sub><sup>0⇌</sup>). The influences of temperature, molality, and solute structure on these parameters were discussed in terms of molecular interactions. The contributions of the charged end group (NH<sub>3</sub><sup>+</sup>, COO<sup>–</sup>) and CH<sub>2</sub> group to the limiting partial molar volumes and viscosity <i>B</i> coefficients were obtained through their linear correlation as a function of the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chains of the studied amino acids
