Hydration Processes in HCl and Aqueous Salt Solutions

Abstract

In this work, the number of hydration of ions (K+ and Cl-, K+ and Br-, K+ and I-, H+ and Cl-, Li+ and Cl-, Cs+ and Cl-, Na+ and Cl-) in dilute aqueous solutions of some electrolytes of KCl, KBr, KI, HCl, LiCl, CsCl, and NaCl was studied by the proposed refractometric method. Further, the effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000) on the hydration processes for ions in aqueous solutions of KCl and KBr was studied. It turned out that when the polymer is introduced into the solution, the hydration numbers of ions decrease, which is apparently due to the role of the PEG oxygen atom competing with ions in interaction with water molecules.
