The vapor-liquid equilibrium of several acetic acid-water-salt systems under atmospheric pressure was determined by employing lithium nitrate, magnesium nitrate, potassium nitrate, and potassium acetate as salts. In the vapor-liquid equilibrium of an acetic acid-water-salt system, lithium nitrate, magnesium nitrate, and potassium nitrate showed a salting-out effect, while potassium acetate showed a salting-in effect. The vapor-liquid equilibria with the nitrate, chloride, bromide, and acetate salts at a salt concentration of 1.0 mol/kg were also determined, and it was shown that by keeping the anion the same and changing the cations of salts with those having a smaller hydration enthalpy showed an increased salting-out effect. Alternatively, when the cation was kept the same, the salts showed the salting-out effect in the following order: chloride > bromide > nitrate > acetate salts; the acetate salt showed a salting-in effect.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
