ABSTRACT
In this research, influence of some ionic liquids on the electrical conductivity of L(+)-lactic acid (LaH) have been investigated in aqueous polyethylene glycol 20000 (PEG) solutions. The molar conductivities of LaH in water, aqueous solutions of PEG and (PEG t ionic liquid,1.hexyl.3.methylimidazoliumbromide [C6mim]Br/1.octyl.3.methylimidazolium bromide[C8mim]Br) were measured at T = (288.15 to 318.15) K. These data have been analyzed by Quint.Viallard (QV) conductivity equation and the limiting molar conductivities and dissociation constants (K_D) were calculated by this equation. The results demonstrate that the values of limiting molar conductivities decrease with increasing concentration and longer alkyl chain length of the ionic liquids. The K_Dvalues were also used to calculate the dissociation standard thermodynamic functions Delta(G, S and H). The values of Delta G are positive and become more positive at higher temperatures. This implies that the dissociation of the acid is a non spontaneous process in standard state.
