Popis: Densities (ρ) and viscosities (η) of glycine, l -alanine, l -valine, l -threonine and l -arginine in (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0) mol · kg−1 aqueous sorbitol solutions have been measured at T = (293.15, 303.15, 313.15 and 323.15) K under atmospheric pressure. The apparent molar volume (Vφ) and the limiting partial molar volumes of amino acids ( V φ 0 ) were calculated through the density data. And the limiting partial molar volumes of transfer (Δtr V φ 0 ) and interaction coefficients Vab, and Vabb were also determined. The extended Jones–Dole equation was used to correlate the viscosities in order to obtain viscosity B-coefficient and the free energies of activation per mole of solvent (Δμ10≠) and solute (Δμ20≠). The limiting partial molar volume of transfer and the free energies of activation per mole of both solvent (Δμ10≠) and solute (Δμ20≠) were discussed on the basis of the co-sphere overlap model and transition state theory, respectively. The hydration number of amino acids was computed using the obtained limiting partial molar volume and viscosity B-coefficient. Additionally, the group contribution method was applied to determine the respective contribution of (NH3+, COO−), CH2, OH and CNHNHNH2 to V φ 0 and B-coefficient.
