This further confirms that the importance of the size of diffusional species must be at least comparable in size to that of the solvent molecules in order for this macroscopic theory to apply. Consequently, the thermodynamic terms of mixing may be altered, and therefore favour the dissolution of oxygen. It has a role as a polar aprotic solvent and an EC 3.5.1.4 (amidase) inhibitor. Such media can be used, for example, to directly extract poorlywater-soluble toxic products from fermentations.

It was observed that the solubility of carbon dioxide decreases linearly with the mole fraction of acetonitrile from a value of 2.6 × 10-2 in the pure ionic liquid at 303 K to a mole fraction of 1.3 × 10-2 in the mixture [C2mim][NTf2] + CH3CN with xCH3CN = 0.77 at the same temperature. Acetonitrile is a nitrile that is hydrogen cyanide in which the hydrogen has been replaced by a methyl group. Quaranta et al. Copyright © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Acetonitrile, often abbreviated MeCN (methyl cyanide), is the chemical compound with the formula CH 3 CN.This colourless liquid is the simplest organic nitrile (hydrogen cyanide is a simpler nitrile, but the cyanide anion is not classed as organic).It is produced mainly as a byproduct of acrylonitrile manufacture. ing acetone, acetonitrile, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, diethyl ether, ethyl alcohol, ethyl acetate, methanol, petroleum ether, toluene, xylene and some kerosenes. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jelechem.2012.07.039. Under the first experimental condition, the diffusion coefficients of oxygen, D(O2), and superoxide radical anion, D(O2-), at 298.5 K are determined to be (9.20 ± 0.36) × 10−9 m2 s−1 and (2.73 ± 0.35) × 10−9 m2 s−1 respectively. Such behaviour can be tentatively explained by the preferential solvation of molecular oxygen by water molecules via hydrogen bonding at lower water content. ► Diffusional activation energies are evaluated via Stokes-Einstein relationship. Over the same range of χMeCN, the D(O2) is found to drop in significant amount compared with its predicted value. By continuing you agree to the use of cookies. Further, the concentration of dissolved oxygen, c(O2), is obtained as (1.26 ± 0.05) mM, and the oxygen dissolution is quantitatively shown to be an endothermic process.

Further, the concentration of dissolved oxygen, c(O2), is obtained as (1.26 ± 0.05) mM, and the oxygen dissolution is quantitatively shown to be an endothermic process. This means that the proportion of oxygen, which promotes oxidation in the solvent, is the same for both solvents.
