Theory of Solutions of Molecules Containing Widely Separated Charges with Special Application to Zwitterions

Kirkwood, John G.·1934·The Journal of Chemical Physics

Abstract

The electrical contribution to the chemical potential of an ion having an arbitrary charge distribution is calculated with the aid of the Debye-Hückel theory. The calculation is based upon a general solution in polar coordinates of the approximate Debye-Hückel equation, Δψ—κ2ψ=0. In addition, the Born relation between the free energy of solvation of a spherical ion and the dielectric constant of the solvent, is generalized to include ions of arbitrary charge distribution. Application of the theory to a study of the influence of simple electrolytes, and of the dielectric constant of the solvent on the solubilities of the aliphatic amino-acids in alcohol water mixtures, is discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
