1. Transport properties• Commonly expressed in ‘phenomenological’

equations that are empirical summaries of experimental observations

• The rate of migration of a property is measured by its flux, J, the quantity of that property passing through a given area (perpendicular to the direction of flow) in a given time interval divided by the area and the duration of the interval.

Direction of flow

Flux = amount per SQ M per Second

5

In general the flux J is proportional to the gradient, X, causing the flux

L– proportionality constant

• Both flux and gradient are VECTORS they have both sign and magnitude.

• The flux acts in a direction such that it reduces the gradient.

Case (1)—Matter: Diffusion-- Fick’s Law• If matter is flowing (as in diffusion), we speak of a matter

flux of so many molecules per square meter per second• A positive value of J signifies a flux towards positive z;

A negative value of J signifies a flux towards negative z• Because matter flows down a concentration gradient, from high concentration to low concentration, J is positive if is negative, thus

High concentration

At z = z0 the amount of matter entering the slab per second is

AJ(z0)

A is the area of the slab, J is the flux in mol m-2 s-1

At z = z0+ ∆z, the amount leaving the slab is

AJ(z0+ ∆z)

The effect of diffusion is to reduce the concentration gradient.

The amounts entering and leaving the slab are not equal.

10

The amount left in the slab will vary with time since the concentration gradient will vary with time.

The number of mols per second deposited in the slab will be:

dn/dt = AJ(z0) - AJ(z0+ ∆z)

= A[J(z0) - J(z0+ ∆z)]

n is the number of mols. The concentration is the number of mols divided by the volume.

Thus:

The volume of the slab is A ∆z and the concentration in the slab, c, is given by

c = n/ A ∆z

21

Some notes

i. If the pressure gradient is too great or the flow is too fast turbulence is observed. There are no simple theories of turbulence.

ii. For simple liquids η is independent of the rate of flow. For many materials, e.g. thixotropic paints, blood, tomato ketchup, this is not the case.

iii. Materials with more complex behaviour are known as non-Newtonian fluids, after Newton who was the first to describe and analyse viscous flow.

The variation of viscosity with concentrationGenerally the viscosity of a liquid depends on how easily the molecules of the liquid can move past one another.

Simple solution

e.g. KOH show a gradual increase in viscosity with concentration.

PolymersAt relatively low concentrations (i.e. there is a very large excess of solvent) the viscous behaviour of polymer solutions can be divided into two distinct regions: The dilute and semi-dilute regimes

polymer concentration

viscosity

semi dilute regime

dilute regime

c*

At very low concentrations the viscosity of the solution varies linearly with concentration. At a critical point called c* there is an abrupt change in slope and the viscosity increases much more rapidly.This is due to the entanglement of the polymers. The polymers are sufficiently highly concentrated that they begin to interact with each other and become entangled. This means that the polymers can no longer move independently of one another and the motion of the liquid is slowed.

semi dilute solution polymers entangled

3. The relationship of diffusion and viscosity–Stokes-Einstein relationship

The botanist Brown noticed that when small pollen particles in a liquid were observed in a microscope they were in constant random motion. This motion is called Brownian motion .It reflects the constant bombardment of the pollen grains by the impact

of the molecules of the liquid.Einstein analysed the motion of these particles by assuming that they executed a RANDOM WALK .In a random walk the motion is considered to consist of a seriesof steps the direction of each step is assumed to be randomly related to the direction of the previous step.

A random walk The step-like motion of kinesin molecules in the body

27

Mutual and self diffusion

Fick’s law is written for a situation in which a concentration gradient exists.It is about the rate of change of the concentration gradient.

The diffusion coefficient is thus the MUTUAL diffusion coefficient and is strictly valid only under defined conditions of concentration gradient. It is the measure of the rate at which one substance diffuses into another.

Brownian motion shows that diffusion can still go on even when there is no concentration gradient. SELF DIFFUSION a measure of the random thermal motion of the molecules in the absence of a concentration gradient.All diffusion arises because of the constant random thermal motion of molecules.

A simulation of diffusion due to random motion is shown below.

z2 is the mean squared displacement of the particle.This avoids the problem of the displacement being both positive and negative.k is the Boltzmann constant,T is the Absolute temperature. t is time and r is the effective radius of the particle.

Notes: • In ice the distance between oxygen atoms is 0.276 nm

and the OH bond distance is about 0.09 nm so this value is reasonable.

• The radius obtained by the application of Stokes law is an effective radius, of the order of molecular dimensions but it is affected by interactions with other molecules in the liquid.

WATER

SUCROSE

• In the case of sucrose and water the simple relationship betweenviscosity and diffusion coefficient does not hold. Water diffuses faster than sucrose because of the effects of the molecular radius but neither diffusion coefficient has a simple linear relationship to the viscosity. The deviation is largest at high viscosity (low reciprocal viscosity).

36

• Local viscosities

If 1% of Agar is dissolved in water, the system turns from one in which the viscosity is about 1x 10-3 Pa s to one in which the viscosity is effectively infinite. i.e. A solid gel is formed.

Gels consist of mobile regions connected by junction zones.

Junction zone

cavityGel forming materials are polymers. They form rigid junction zones connect by flexible regions. Between the polymers there are cavities filled with solvent.

In the cavities the local viscosity is the same as that as the solvent. However on the large scale the viscosity is determined by the larger scale structure.

Diffusion of molecules small compared to the cavity size occurs very easily. When the molecule gets large enough diffusion is slowed.

When using the Stokes-Einstein relationship it is v ery important to recognise that both the viscosity and radius terms must be treated with caution.

6. Rotational diffusionDebye was interested in the interactions of dipolar molecules with electric fields. When the field is switched on the molecules tend to follow the field:When the field is switched on the molecule reorients through an angle θ in

a time t.

The rate of change of angle is dθ/dt. This is a measure of the rate of rotation.

Electric field switched on

Molecule reorients through angle θ in time t

θ

The rate at which the molecules can respond depends on how fast the dipoles can reorient, this depends on their molecular rotation rates.

46

In a liquid the rotation of the molecule must be affected by viscosity in the same way as translational motion, by analogy a rotational diffusioncoefficient D can be defined:

The motion of these shapes in a liquid is different and thus their effects on viscosity are different. In principal therefore it is possible to determine the shape of a molecule by measuring its viscosity.

55

For a solution viscosity can be expressed as a function of the solvent viscosity and concentration.ηS = η0(1+k1c + k2c2 + k3c3 … )η0 is the viscosity of the pure solvent and c is the concentration of the soluteIf we define ηrel = ηS/ η0,Then ηrel = (1+k1c + k2c2 + k3c3 … )This type of function can express the shape of complex curvesThis is an example of a virial expansion.The data for KOH given above may be fitted to a line of the formηrel= 1+0.1054 c +0.003 c2 +.0024c3 –0.002c4

by finding the intrinsic viscosity it is possible to obtain the first term in the virial expansion and so get to the simplest measure of the effects of the solute on viscosity.

then the specific viscosity ηsp is given byηsp = ηrel –1 = k1c + k2c2 + k3c3 …

This is a useful definition since it summarises the effects of the solute on the viscosity.

The intrinsic viscosity, [η], is defined as the ratio ηsp/c as c tends to zero.Therefore

Example: Using intrinsic viscosity to measure molar mass

The viscosities of a series of solutions of polystyrene in toluene were measured at 25 oC with the following results:c/(g dm-3) 0 2 4 6 8 10η/(10-4kg m-1 s-1) 5.58 6.15 6.74 7.35 7.98 8.64

Calculate the intrinsic viscosity and estimate the molar mass of the polymer. K= 3.80 × 10-5 dm3 g-1 and a = 0.63.

We draw up the following table:c/(g dm-3) 0 2 4 6 8 10η/η0 1 1.102 1.208 1.3117 1.43 1.549100[(η/η0 )-1]/(c/g dm-3) 5.11 5.2 5.28 5.38 5.49

The points are plotted in the figure right. The extrapolated intercept at c = 0 is 0.0504, so [η] = 0.0504.Therefore,

Generally [η] = ν V/M,

Where V is the hydrated volume and M the mass of the molecule. ν is the Simha factor. The Simha factor contains information about the shape of the molecule.
