Physicochemical study of solution behaviour of alkali metal perchlorates prevailing in N,N-Dimethyl Formamide with the manifestation of ion solvation consequences

Physicochemical analysis on densities (ρ), viscosities (η) and speed of sound (u) and electrolytic conductivities (Λ) of Lithium Perchlorate, Sodium Perchlorate and Potassium Perchlorate in pure N,N-Dimethyl Formamide have been performed at 298.15 K. Limiting molar conductance (Λo), association constant (KA) and co-sphere diameter (R) for ion-pair formation have been obtained from Fuoss conductance equation. Masson equation is used to determine the limiting apparent molar volume (ϕV0) and experimental slope (SV⁎) to study the ion-solvent and ion-ion interactions respectively. The derived parameters A and B obtained from Jones-Dole equation represent ion-ion and ion-solvent interactions respectively. The u-values have been used to determine adiabatic compressibility (βS) and limiting apparent molar adiabatic compressibility (ϕK0).
