Abstract

Diffusion of the chloride salts of Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs from water into 1-butanol and from 1-butanol into water was examined at temperatures from 13-40°C. Distribution coefficients, interfacial transfer coefficients, Arrhenius activation energy, free energy of activation, enthalpy, and entropy of activation were determined for the diffusion of these salts across the alcohol-water interface. The results indicate that the entropy decrease made the major contribution to the change in the free energy of activation.
