Abstract:

We synthesized the alanine-based ionic liquid [C2mim][Ala] (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium alanine) by using the neutralization method and characterized it. Using a solution-reaction isoperibol calorimeter, we determined the molar enthalpies of the solution (ΔsolHm) at various molalities in water from (288.15±0.01) to (308.15±0.01) K in intervals of 5 K. Using Archer's method, we obtained the standard molar enthalpy of solution for [C2mim][Ala] (ΔsolHmθ) and calculated its apparent relative molar enthalpy (ΦL). Using Glasser's theory of lattice energy, we obtained the lattice energy, UPOT = 566 kJ·mol-1, the hydration enthalpy of the cation and anion, (ΔH+ + ΔH-) = -620 kJ·mol-1, and the hydration enthalpy of an anion, ΔH-([Ala]-) = -387 kJ·mol-1 at 298.15 K. Finally, we obtained the heat capacity of aqueous [C2mim][Ala] (Cp(sol)) and its apparent molar heat capacity (ΦCp) at various specific molalities.
