A Contribution to the estimation of binary halide and pseudo-halide equilibrium constants using a linear extrapolation methodology

The molar single ion activity coefficient (yF) of fluoride ions was determined at 25 °C and ionic strengths between 0.100 and 3.00 mol L-1 NaClO4 using an ion-selective electrode. The activity coefficient dependency on ionic strength was determined to be ΦF = log yF = 0.2315I - 0.041I². The function ΦF(I), combined with functions obtained in previous work for copper (ΦCu) and hydrogen (ΦH), allowed us to make the estimation of the stoichiometric and thermodynamic protonation constants of some halides and pseudo-halides as well as the formation constants of some pseudo-halides and fluoride 1:1 bivalent cation complexes. The calculation procedure proposed in this paper is consistent with critically-selected experimental data. It was demonstrated that it is possible to use ΦF(I) for predicting the thermodynamic equilibrium parameters independently of Pearson's hardness of acids and bases.
