SUMMARY
A method is descr ibed for the est imat ion of equil ibrium con
stants for aqueous sys tems a t t empe ra tu r e s up to 374°C from entropy
and free energy data for 25 C and data on the var ia t ion of heat capaci ty
with t e m p e r a t u r e . Pa r t i a l molal heat capaci t ies of aqueous ions a r e
es t imated on the bas is of the principle (C. M. C r i s s and J . W. Cobble)
that, with suitably chosen s tandard s t a t e s , the par t ia l molal entropies
of ions of a pa r t i cu la r c lass at any given t empera tu re a r e l inear ly r e
lated to the corresponding entropies at some reference t e m p e r a t u r e .
The method suggested is compared with other methods , based on the
Van't Hoff i sobar and on an extension (Naumov) of the conventional scale
of ionic free energy at 25 C, and the general dependence of aqueous
equil ibria on ionic heat capacity is considered.
This repor t is intended for publication in a
per iodical . References may not be published

INTRODUCTION
In connection with investigations of the cor ros ion of s t ruc tura l
m a t e r i a l s in var ious environments at high t e m p e r a t u r e s , being c a r r i e d
out by AB Atomenergi , i t has been n e c e s s a r y to study ways of e s t i m a
ting equil ibrium quantities from thermodynamic data and ways of p r e
senting large numbers of these quantities in easi ly comprehensible
f o r m s . Kinetic considerat ions may be of predominent importance in
cor ros ion p r o c e s s e s , pa r t i cu la r ly when appreciable m a s s - t r a n s p o r t
o c c u r s , but, as activation energy b a r r i e r s usually become smal l at
high t e m p e r a t u r e s , a knowledge of the thermodynamic p a r a m e t e r s r e
levant to the react ions (oxidation) accompanying i ts dissolution is essen
tial for the definition of the stabil i ty of any solid phase . An exper imen
tal study of each of the very many equil ibria involved in cor ros ion and
meta l lu rg ica l p r o c e s s e s is imprac t icable and thermodynamic methods
pe rmi t the predict ion of the r e su l t s of many react ions under a va r ie ty
of conditions from a l imited number of fundamental data .
For me ta l -wa te r - l igand sys tems mos t of the ve ry great number
of thermodynamic data that have been collected by Sillen [ l ] r e la te to
the reference t empera tu re 25.00 C (298.15 K). Tempera tu re s in the
water -cooled nuclear r e a c t o r s and the conventional s team plant now in
use a r e commonly as high as 250 C and in the future_this l imi t for the
liquid phase may be increased to the cr i t ica l t empera tu re (374 C).
Some information on the var ia t ion with t empera tu re of the s tandard
free energy of reac t ion for a number of meta l lurg ica l equil ibr ia has
been collected by, for example , Kubaschewsky and Evans [ 2 ] , and an
increas ing amount of data for aqueous sys tems at elevated t e m p e r a
tu res is now being obtained exper imental ly [ 3 ] . However, for m o s t
aqueous e lec t rochemica l r eac t ions , such as oxidation, e s t ima tes of the
equil ibrium constant at these t empera tu re s can still only be obtained
by extrapolation from data for about 25 C using the a rguments of c l a s
sical the rmodynamics . Relatively few at tempts have been made to do
this perhaps par t ly because the conventional sca les for the re la t ive
thermodynamic p roper t i e s of aqueous ions a r e not obviously suitable
for t empera tu re s other than the reference t e m p e r a t u r e . It i s only
- 4 -
recent ly that methods have been suggested, by Naumov and his co
worke r s and by Cr i s s and Cobble, that resolve this difficulty.
The study presented here brings together and, to some extent,
further develops some aspec ts of previous work concerning ionic equi
l ibr ia and the var ia t ion of thermodynamic proper t ies with t e m p e r a t u r e .
A method is descr ibed for es t imat ing the equil ibrium constants of r e
actions in dilute aqueous solutions at t empera tu re s up to the cr i t ica l
t empera tu re of wa te r . This method is used in a concurrent s e r i e s of
publications on equil ibrium d iagrams for meta l - water sys tems at
elevated t empera tu re s [4].

1. FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS
As some quantities that have hi therto only infrequently occur red
in e lec t rochemica l d iscuss ions will be used he re and in the publications
that follow, i t is convenient to define the notation in a recapitulat ion of
some fundamental concepts .
1 .1 . The descr ip t ion of e lec t rochemica l equil ibria in aqueous sys tems
Equi l ibr ia in aqueous media involving an oxidised spec ies , A,
and the conjugate reduced spec ies , B, may be descr ibed general ly by
the formula :
aA + hH+ + e" = bB + wHzO (r)
and the equil ibrium constant at T K:
T K r = {B} b {H z O} W {A} " a { H + } " h { e " } _ 1
For dilute solutions a reasonable approximation is obtained when con
centra t ion, [ ] , is substi tuted for act ivi ty, { } , so that
l o g T k r = pe + hpH - log [ A ] a • [ B ] " b (1.1)
where p denotes the opera tor - log.
The equil ibr ium constant for any react ion r is re la ted to the
change in s tandard free energy accompanying the reac t ion , A T G , a c
cording to the Van't Hoff i so the rm,
- R T l n T K r = ATG° = Sv (i) • A T G ° (i) ( 1 . 2)
Here ATG. (i) denotes the s tandard par t ia l molal free energy of fo rma
tion of the constituent i , v (i) moles of which par t ic ipate in the reac t ion .
Thus equil ibrium constants that may not be access ib le by d i rec t m e a s
u remen t can be calculated from the free energies of formation of the
reac tan ts or from the equil ibrium constants (multiplied by the appro
pr ia te coefficients) of a number of par t ia l react ions which together lead
to the overa l l reac t ion .

at a reference t e m p e r a t u r e , 298.15 K, and to the corresponding
changes in enthalpy and entropy.
The change in s tandard free energy, A T G , is re la ted to the
change in s tandard enthalpy, A „H = E v ( i ) . A_.Hr (i), and in s tandard
entropy, A _S = £v ( i ) . S (i), by the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation
A T G ° = A T H ° - T A T S ° (1.7)
and, since 9(ATG°)/9T | p = - A T S ° ,
a ( A T G ° / T ) / 3 T | p = ( T 9 ( A T G ° ) / a T | p - A T G ° ) / T 2 = - A T H ° / T 2
which leads to the Van ' t Hoff i soba r :
8 ( l n T K ) / 3 T | p = A T H ° / R T 2 (1.8)
Thus , in a f i r s t approximation, AH may be supposed to be near ly
independent of T and then ln_,K can be es t imated using the expres s ion :
ln T K = l n 2 9 g K + ( A H ° / R ) ( T - 298)/298 T (1.9)
Exper ience has shown that the es t imates of equi l ibr ium con
stants for aqueous sys tems at elevated t empera tu res formed using the
Van ' t Hoff i sobar may somet imes be in e r r o r by severa l logar i thmic
un i t s . E r r o r s might a r i s e from a var ie ty of causes such a s , for ex
ample , unanticipated conjugate react ions like hydro lys i s , but it is c lear
that in o rde r to obtain be t te r e s t imates account m u s t be taken of the
var ia t ion of enthalpy and entropy with t e m p e r a t u r e .
The changes in s tandard enthalpy and s tandard entropy at t em
pe ra tu re T a r e re la ted to these quantities at the re ference t empera tu re
and to the change in mola r heat capacity, A — Cp = Sv ( i ) T C (i), by

A T S° = A 2 9 8 S ° + ^ J 9 8 A T C p ' d In T (1.11)
These re la t ions , together with the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation and the
- 8 -
react ion i so the rm lead to the equation:
l n T K = ^ l n 2 9 8 K + ^ [ ( T - 298)A2 9 gS° + T\ ^ ATC° d in T
- . ^ 2 9 8 A T C p ' d T ] t 1 ' 1 3 )
Molar heat capacity may be expressed as a function of t empera tu re by
means of the empi r ica l formulae given by Kelley [8] and o the r s , e . g . ,
T C p ( i ) = a(i) + b(i)T + c( i )T" 2 (1 . 14)
where a(i) , b(i) and c(i) a r e constants pecul iar to the substance (i) in
quest ion. Thus , in so far as values for the Kelley coefficients of the
consti tuents can be obtained, a bet ter es t imate of In K may be formed
from the express ion :
l n T K = (298 /T ) ln 2 9 8 K + | - [2N> (i) . 2 9 8 S°( i ) ( l - 2 9 8 / T ) "
- S v(i) a(i) • ((1 - 298/T) + ln(298/T))

- Ev( i )c ( i ) - ( ( T " 2 - 2 9 8 " 2 ) / 2 - ( T _ 1 - 2 9 8 _ 1 ) / T ] (1.15)
which may be wri t ten in the form
l o g T K r = f 1 ( T ) l o g 2 9 8 K r + f 2 (T)A 2 9 g S° + f 3(T)Aa +
+ f4(T)Ab + f (T)Ac (1-16)
The values of the coefficients f(T) in equation (1.16) for some t e m p e r a

2. THE THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF AQUEOUS
IONS AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES
Although the thermodynamic methods summar i sed in the p r e
vious section have been used extensively and for a long t ime in studies
of the effect of t empera tu re on many kinds of equil ibria such a s , for ex
ample , meta l lu rg ica l react ions [2], re la t ively li t t le use has been made
of them in studies of react ions in aqueous media . In pa r t , at l eas t ,
this may have been due to a conceptual difficulty in the extension of the
conventional hydrogen sca les for the relat ive thermodynamic proper t i es
of ions to t empe ra tu r e s other than the re ference t empera tu re [9].
Recent ly, some success in t reat ing aqueous equil ibria has been
obtained by two quite different approaches to the thermodynamic p rope r
t ies of ions in solutions at elevated t e m p e r a t u r e s . In the f i r s t of these ,
proposed by Naumov and his co -worker s [10, 11] the a r b i t r a r y hydrogen
scale for ionic free energy is extended to elevated t empera tu re s on the
bas is of the exper imental ly determined var ia t ion of the free energy of
hydrogen g a s . In the second, proposed by Cr i s s and Cobble [12,13]
"abso lu te" ionic entropies and ionic heat capaci t ies a r e es t imated by
means of empi r ica l re la t ions based on a number of exper imenta l data
for aqueous equil ibria at elevated t e m p e r a t u r e s .
2 . 1 . Relative ionic s tandard free energy
The es tabl i shment of re la t ive values for the thermodynamic p r o
pe r t i e s of individual ions on general ly used conventional scales has lead
to the successful cor re la t ion and, to some extent, the in te rpre ta t ion of
a ve ry l a rge number of data on e lec t rochemical react ions in aqueous
med ia . A par t i cu la r ly a t t rac t ive aspec t of this conventional approach
has been that it has made possible widely accepted descr ip t ions of the
behaviour of e lectrolyte solutions r e g a r d l e s s of cont rovers ies about the
physical meaning of individual ionic p r o p e r t i e s .
The success and wide acceptance of the conventional approach
to e lec t rochemica l thermodynamics at t empe ra tu r e s near 25 C has lead
Naumov et a l . to propose that , as is the case at the reference t empera -
- 11 -
tu re , the s tandard free energy of formation of each aqueous ion at any
t empera tu re T is to be re la ted to the s tandard free energy of fo rma
tion of hydrogen ion at the same t e m p e r a t u r e . It m a y thus be evalua
ted from the exper imental ly determinable change of s tandard free
energy in reac t ions such as
A + H+ = B + + \ H zO
ATG°(B+) = A T G ° . * A-TG°(H+) + A TG°(A) - 0. 5ATG°(H20)
In turn , the s tandard free energy of formation of hydrogen ion is to be
evaluated by means of the react ion
H + + e" = | "H 2 (g) (HI)
for which the change in s tandard free energy is conventionally equated
to zero at all t empera tu re s so that
0.5ATG°(H2) - ATG°(H+) = A T G R 1 = 0
Thus , the s tandard free energy of formation of hydrogen ion at t empe
ra tu re T is to be equated with half the s tandard free energy of fo rma
tion of hydrogen gas at the same t empera tu re from hydrogen gas at the
reference t e m p e r a t u r e . In accordance with the a rguments of the p r e
ceding section this quantity i s given by
-ATG°(H2) = (T - 298). 2 9 g S ° ( H 2 ) + T j 2 9 8 T c £ ( H 2 ) d In T -

entropy and Kelley coefficients of hydrogen gas lead to the following
values for the s tandard free energy of formation of hydrogen ion at
var ious t empera tu re s :-

On the bas is of this proposal and experimental ly determined
equil ibr ium constants for a few react ions at elevated t e m p e r a t u r e s ,
Naumov and his co -worker s have evaluated the relat ive s tandard free
energy of formation of a number of anions and cations in the t e m p e r a
ture range 25 to 300 C. These constants they have then employed in
studies of severa l other reac t ions , principally hydrothermal react ions
of geochemical i n t e r e s t .
Although the ag reement between experimental ly m e a s u r e d equi
l ibr ium constants and those calculated using relat ive s tandard free
energies is likely to be as p rec i se as the determinat ions of these free
ene rg i e s , this conventional approach to equil ibrium analysis seems to
have some disadvantages . Thus , i t r equ i re s that for each and every
ion of i n t e r e s t as r ega rds react ions at elevated t e m p e r a t u r e s , at l eas t
one reac t ion in which that ion is a constituent m u s t have been studied
over the range of t empera tu re in question. Even if this may be possible
it s eems labor ious . Another disadvantage is that, like all a r b i t r a r y
approaches to general phenomena, i t might inhibit a t tempts to obtain
a m o r e detailed descr ipt ion and, pe rhaps , a deeper understanding of
the fundamental quantities involved. The continuation of efforts to r e
solve cont rovers ies about the proper t ies of individual ions seems de
s i r a b l e .
In the a l ternat ive approach suggested by Cr i s s and Cobble, in
volving the evaluation of "absolute" ionic en t ropies , these disadvan
tages a r e l ess m a r k e d .
2 . 2 . Absolute ionic entropy and heat capacity
The calculation of the free energies of aqueous ions from f i r s t

success has been had so fa r . On the other hand, cons iderab le success

of ions at 25 C from m o r e or l e s s empir ica l re la t ions involving such
factors as ionic charge , m a s s , geometry , e t c . , [refs 17 to 2 2 ] .
Cr i s s and Cobble [12] have observed that the exper imental

elevated t empe ra tu r e s indicate that re la t ions hold between these quanti

The following discussion will be concerned only with these "absolute"
ionic entropies which will be denoted by unprimed S .
In order that equations derived from the Gibbs-Helmholtz re
lation, like equation (l. 13), can be applied to aqueous equilibria it is
desirable, and in some cases essential, that an estimate be formed of
the standard (partial) molal heat capacity of each of the species in
volved. Criss and Cobble have shown [13] that estimates of this quan
tity for ions in dilute aqueous solution (reliable data is available for
water and most solids and gases), can be obtained using the values for
the correspondence principle coefficients they have derived from ex
perimental entropy data. The standard partial molal heat capacity of
an ion is defined by
t2S°(i) = t lS°(i) + ^ tC°(i)dlnT (2.4)
so that, if .C (i) is approximated with its average value between tl and
t2 C°] t2 P
t2S°(i) = tlSU(i) + Cp(i)]g ln(T2/Tl) (2.5)
Thus, an estimate of the mean value of the relative standard partial
molal heat capacity between two not too widely separated temperatures
may be obtained from values for the standard partial molal entropy at
the two temperatures using the equation
«.-> +->S°(i) - .S°(i) -o,,N-.t2 t2 w tl w (7 / \
V ; J t l " 2.303 log (T2/T1) { '
The values for the standard partial molal entropy, in turn, may be ob
tained by means of the correspondence principle.
In their development of these ideas Criss and Cobble have chosen
to derive equations for the average heat capacity of ions of the various
classes, containing two empirical constants like those for ionic entro
pies at various temperatures. They have also chosen to take the aver
age between the (higher) temperature in question, here t2, and the re
ference temperature. When applied to large intervals of temperature,
- 15 -
however , this usage m a y lead to unnecessar i ly la rge e r r o r s . In addi
tion, it i s des i rab le that the var ia t ion with t empera tu re of the heat ca
paci t ies of ions be descr ibed by equations like those used for other
spec ie s , i . e . , that Kelley coefficients be evaluated for ions! A simple
extension of C r i s s and Cobble ' s work makes this possible without any
significant dec rease in accuracy .
Cr i s s and Cobble have found that for t empe ra tu r e s up to 200 C.,
at l e a s t , the correspondence principle coefficients vary approximately
l inear ly -with t empera tu re so that for t C
a = et + f (2.7)
t b = gt + h (2.8)
Four sets of values of the constants e, f, g, and h, have been obtained
corresponding to the four c l a s ses of ions dist inguished. Using these
express ions for a and b the correspondence pr inciple (2.2) may be
rewr i t t en
£°(i) = (e + g- _ f S ° ( i ) ) ( T - 273.15) + (f + h- _ f S ° ( i ) ) T ~ V * / - \ - • 6 r e f " V - / 7 V * - • - . . . - , , . ^ • ~ r e r

TS°(i) = (e + g. r e f S ° ( i ) ) . T - ( e + g r e f S ° ( i ) ) - 273.15
+ (f + h r e f S°( i ) ) .
F o r smal l t empera tu re in tervals the average s tandard par t ia l molal
heat capacity, C_j(i)]T J, is thus given by
G£(i)]£+J= ( T + j S°( i ) - T S°( i ) ) / ln ( (T + j ) / T )
so that , within the validity of (2. 7) and (2. 8) and of the approximation
l n ( l + j / T ) = j / T ,
T C ^ ( i ) = ( e + g r e f S ° ( i ) ) ' T (2.9)
Thus , the s tandard par t ia l molal heat capacit ies of aqueous ions m a y be descr ibed by the Kelley formula (1.14), the coefficients a and c

3. AN ASSESSMENT OF METHODS FOR ESTIMATING EQUILIBRIUM
CONSTANTS FOR REACTIONS IN AQUEOUS MEDIA AT ELEVATED
TEMPERATURES
The resu l t s obtained using the pr inciples descr ibed in sections
1.2 and 2 .2 can usefully be a s s e s s e d in connection with some general
observat ions regarding the effects of t empera tu re changes on aqueous
equi l ibr ia . As i t is des i rab le to at tempt to establ ish a theoret ica l
bas is for the empi r ica l re la t ions used in this work i t may also be u s e
ful to analyse further the factors l ikely to influence equil ibria on the
bas is of models of the p roper t i e s of ions .
3 . 1 . Resul ts obtained using es t imates of ionic heat capacity
It i s apparent from the quantities in table 1 that , depending on
the magnitudes of the Kelley coefficients, the l a rge s t contributions to
the equil ibrium constant a r e likely to be made by the proport ional t e r m
( 2 9 8 / T ) l o g 2 9 g k and the entropy t e r m (1 - 298/T) g S ° / R . Thus devia
tions from a l inear dependence of log k on l / T , in accordance with
the Van ' t Hoff i soba r , a re to be expected only when the Kelley coeffi
c ien ts , especia l ly the b-coeff icients , a r e la rge and when they a r e much
different for the consti tuents in the forward (reactants) and the r e v e r s e
(products) r eac t ions .
F o r many substances the a-coefficient is between 10 and 30,
only for a few does it exceed 40 . S imi lar ly , the b-coefficient seldom _3
exceeds about 20x10 . The c-coefficient is often close to unity. Fo r
aqueous ions , however , as seen in table 4, the b-coefficients vary be --3 -3
tween about 100x10 and 300x10 for cat ions, increas ing with charge, -3 -3
and between about -150x10 and -400x10 for mos t anions . Thus the
magnitude of the inc rement to the equil ibrium constant a r i s ing from the
heat capacity t e r m s will often be determined la rge ly by the contr ibu
tions due to the ions taking pa r t in the reac t ion . The inc rements (log
units) for some typical ions , given by the product of f ,(T) in table 1
and the es t imates of the b-coefficients for the ions obtained by means
of the correspondence pr inc ip le , a r e given in table 11 .
- 18 -
Clear ly , the inc rement due to heat capacity can be expected to
be g rea te s t for react ions in which there a re m o r e ions among the r e a c -
tants than the products , or converse ly . The l a r g e r the number of un
balanced ions , and the g rea te r the difference between unlike balanced
ions , the g rea te r will be the contribution of heat capacity to the equi
l ibr ium constant and the e r r o r that would be introduced by neglecting
this contribution.
Some simple i l lus t ra t ions of this a r e given in the table below
which shows the e r r o r s (log units) that can be expected in the equil i
b r ium constants for some typical react ions at 350 C, es t imated in two
ways . In the f i r s t , e s t imate 1, log „ k has been calculated using equa
tion (1.15) with the par t ia l molal heat capaci t ies of the ionic consti tu
ents se t equal to z e r o . In the second, es t imate 2, log „ k has been ca l
culated using the Van ' t Hoff i soba r . The values obtained using equa
tion (1.15) with ATC es t imated by means of the correspondence p r in -
ciple have been taken to be the c o r r e c t values of the constants and the
e r r o r s shown a re the differences from them.

It has been shown [24] that the values for the free energy of
formation of water vapour at t empera tu re s between 298 and 2500 C,
obtained by ca lo r ime t r i c exper imen t s , can be r ep resen ted by the equa

Some "exper imenta l" point values for log _,k . obtained using

general observat ions above, these points lie close to the curve defined
by the theore t ica l e s t imates of log^k^ . . and l o g ^ k . .
Although it has not hi therto been stated explicit ly, it is c lear
that the Cr i s s and Cobble re la t ions define the potential of the s tandard
hydrogen e lect rode at t empera tu re T K, relat ive to the potential of
the same elect rode at the reference t empera tu re which continues to be
ass igned the value z e r o . The p re fe r r ed pa rame te r he re is the c o r r e
sponding equil ibrium constant l o g T k 1 but as values of the s tandard
potential T e (H ) may be of i n t e r e s t in some connections the v a r i a

Genera l ly , corresponding values of log T k and e (r) will be given
in TEMCON outputs, as in table 7.
3 . 1 . 2 . The protolysis of ammonium ion
The acid - base dissociat ion or protolysis of the ammonium ion

F igure 3 i l lus t ra tes the es t imates of log k obtained using equation

the hea t capacity of NH„(aq) being approximated with that of the gas [2].
The exper imenta l values indicated on the figure were obtained from
m e a s u r e m e n t s of e lec t r ica l conductance [26 ,27 ] .
In accordance with the expectation that the effect on the equil i
b r ium constant of the hea t capacity of the reac tant ion will be nullified
by that of a s imi la r ion among the products , equation 1.15 and the
Van ' t Hoff i sobar lead to s imi la r values for log _k . The exper imen
tal values for this constant seem to lie close to the curve defined by
equation 1.15.

3 . 1 . 3 . The reduction of s i lver chloride

There is good ag reemen t between the exper imenta l r esu l t s and
the theore t ica l e s t ima tes over the whole range of t e m p e r a t u r e s . How
eve r , Cobble has found in a "third law" analysis of the exper imenta l
r e su l t s [29] that above about 125 C there is a slowly increas ing s y s t e
mat ic deviation between these resu l t s and the corresponding es t imates
formed on the bas is of the pr inciple of entropy cor respondence .

The exper imenta l values for log k , indicated on the figure a r e those
obtained by Noyes et a l . [27] from conductance m e a s u r e m e n t s . In the
calculation of l o g ^ k the cur rent ly accepted value - 13.997 at 25 C
has been used instead of that found by Noyes, - 14. 086.
Up to 218 C, at l eas t , there is acceptable agreement between
the theore t ica l e s t ima tes of l o g m k and the exper imental va lues . It 1 WJ
is not yet c lear whether the relat ively large deviation between the theo
re t ica l curve and the exper imental value for 306 C reflects an e r r o r in
the es t imates of the par t ia l molal heat capacit ies of the H and OH
ions or an e r r o r in the exper imental data. However, despite this d i s
crepancy, it i s seen that the resu l t s for the protolysis of wa te r , like
those for the other equil ibria examined, confirm the validity of the
method descr ibed he re for es t imat ing equil ibrium constants , and the
general observat ions made at the beginning of this sect ion.

4. FURTHER ANALYSIS OF AQUEOUS EQUILIBRIA AT ELEVATED
TEMPERATURES
It seems likely that it will be possible to obtain much improved
estimates of equilibrium constants for aqueous systems at elevated
temperatures, better than those formed using Criss and Cobble's empi
rical relations, only when extensive experimental determinations of
ionic heat capacity have been carried out. However, a better under
standing of the factors effecting ionic reactions and, perhaps, some
what improved estimates of equilibrium constants, might be obtained
by an approach based on some model of ion - solvent interactions. One
such quasi-thermodynamic analysis of aqueous ionic equilibria, based
on the separation of thermodynamic quantities into hypothetical electro
static and non-electrostatic terms, has been presented by Helgeson
[30]. In a complete analysis the effects of changes of pressure on ionic
equilibria must also be taken into account.
4 .1 . The free energy of solvation
Helgeson supposes that the entropy of dissociation of aqueous
complexes, i_S , is made up of two terms, AmS/ \ and A—S/ N, which r T r r T (e) T (nj
respectively account for electrostatic and non-electrostatic interactions.
Thus,
ATS°r = ATS(e) + ATS(n) ( 4 ^
The first term is evaluated from the electrostatic free energy of solva
tion of the complex using a form of the Born equation such that
*TSto=-WlLTG°(e))\p:S-AWil/TD)\l> ( 4 ' 2 )
where _D is the (bulk) dielectric constant of water and A is a constant
(A = - A .S, \/g(Tl)). The non-electrostatic term is evaluated from
the non-electrostatic contribution to the heat capacity of dissociation:
-T ATS7 , = A. r lS?*+ \ ATC° . d l n T (4.3)

On this bas is the free energy of dissociat ion and the equil ibrium
constant a r e obtained by an argument which may be reduced to the fol
lowing, T

In the application of equation (4.4) to any par t icu la r react ion
A T , H and A T , S may be expected to be known, the d ie lec t r ic con
stant i s to be evaluated by any one of the severa l empi r ica l express ions -1 f(T)
that have been proposed for this quantity, for example , _D = D e ,
and the non-e lec t ros ta t i c heat capacity is to be expressed by the empi
r ica l equation
A T C P ( n ) = a + P T ( 4 ' 5 )
The constants A_,S/ \, a, and (3, which a r e cha rac te r i s t i c for the r e
action in question, a r e to be obtained by a l e a s t - s q u a r e s procedure fit
ting equations (4.4) and (4. 5) to such exper imental values as may be
known for log k at different t empera tu res .
- 25 -
For each of the several dissociation equilibria examined by
Helgeson, equations (4.4) and (4.5) together lead to a curve which fits
the experimental data over the whole range of temperatures. Other
assumptions for A^C . . than (4.5), such as A —Cn/ \ = 0 an<i 0 T P(n) 1 ^{p-j
hrrC—), % = a constant, do not lead to a good fit. Helgeson concludes
that the assumptions in the argument-leading to equation (4.4) are valid
and that equation (4. 5) describes the non-electrostatic part of the heat
capacity of dissociation.
Continuing his analysis, Helgeson considers the variation with
temperature of the total heat capacity of dissociation, made up of elec
trostatic and non-electrostatic contributions:
,o
ATCP:r - T 8 T ( A T S r - , | p - a + T L ? . + g ( T l ) ^ 2 < e ) (4.6)
2 Because the differential in equation (4.6) contains terms in T and T ,
as do the corresponding differentials obtained with other empirical ex
pressions for TD , A Cp cannot vary linearly with T but must
pass through one or more turning points. Helgeson concludes that al
though A^Cp/ ^ will usually increase with temperature, the total heat
capacity of dissociation will usually pass through a maximum and then
rapidly decrease because of the decrease in the dielectric constant
(A^S/ \ is usually negative). Whether or not this will be the case de
pends on the relative magnitudes of the linear and non-linear terms in
equation (4.6). The data for TD reported by Akerlof and Oshry [32]
indicate that 8 ( l / D)/3T [ varies only slowly with temperature up
to about 200 C, when it is about five times as large as at 25 C. Above
about 250 C the differential increases very rapidly until at 330 C it is
ten times as large as at 200 C. The corresponding change in the elec
trostatic contribution to the heat capacity of dissociation can be expec
ted to be significant in at least some reactions. It might be the cause
of the discrepancy between the experimental values for the dissociation
constant of water and the estimates formed on the basis of the corre
spondence principle.
- 26 -
Even if He lgeson ' s approach to aqueous equil ibria at elevated
t empe ra tu r e s is valid, which, because of the inadequacy of the Born
model [16, 31, and the re ferences t h e r e i n ] , is not c lear ly the case , in
p rac t ica l applications it r equ i re s at l eas t a par t ia l study of each r e a c
tion of i n t e r e s t and so is even m o r e disadvantageous than the approach
suggested by Naumov. However, whatever the m e r i t s of this par t i cu la r
t r ea tmen t , i t i s l ikely that a good understanding of the heat capacity of
aqueous r eac t ions , and so bet ter e s t imates of log—k from l imited num

ra l components of the free energy of solvation of ions .
4 . 2 . The effect of p r e s s u r e
In the p resen t study, as in other studies of aqueous equil ibria at
elevated t empera tu re s under the ambient p r e s s u r e of water [13 , 28, 30],
the effect of p r e s s u r e changes has been neglected. This var iab le , which
affects the activity of wa te r , the par t ia l molal volumes of the substances
involved, and the activity coefficients of dissolved spec ies , has been
d i scussed recent ly by Cobble [29] and by Hills and Ovenden [33] who
conclude that in mos t cases it will be of secondary impor tance . Data
given by Owen and Brinkley [34] for the effect of p r e s s u r e on a number
of aqueous equil ibria support this conclusion and suggest that the effect
of p r e s s u r e dec rease s with increas ing t e m p e r a t u r e . F igure 7 i l l u s t r a
tes the data for the var ia t ion with p r e s s u r e and t empera tu re of the ioni-
sation constant for w a t e r .

CONCLUSION
At p resen t , es t imates of equil ibrium constants for react ions in
aqueous media at elevated t e m p e r a t u r e s , useful in studies of cor ros ion
and m a s s - t r a n s p o r t in water -cooled power plants can bes t be obtained
from free energy and entropy data for 2 5 C and empi r ica l express ions
for the heat capaci t ies of the react ing spec ies . The resu l t s obtained
by the method descr ibed he re for some typical equil ibr ia a r e in r e a s o n
able agreement with the exper imenta l data . For some equil ibria above
about 250 C the ag reement may be l e s s sa t is factory, but there does
not yet seem to be any simple bas i s for improving the e s t i m a t e s . How
ever , a study of the severa l components of the free energy of hydrat ion
of ions might provide such a b a s i s .
