ABSTRACT

A detailed compilation of sources of data for the thermodynamic

and transport properties of aqueous potassium hydroxide is presented.

Data for all ranges of temperature, concentration and pressure are

incl uaea.

Key words: Activity coefficients; aqueous; compilation; conductivity;

enthalpy; el ectrolytes ; Gibbs energy; osmotic coefficients; potassium

hydroxide; solutions; thermodynamic properties; transport properties.

The purpose of this publication is to identify published sources

which contain various types of experimental data for aqueous potassium

hydroxide solutions. The principal thermodynamic properties considered

herein are calorimetric heat capacity measurements, enthalpy of dilution

measurements, enthalpy of solution measurements, vapor pressure measure-

ments, isopiestic measurements, freezing point measurements and electromotive

force measuremnts. There are also some review articles concerning the

evaluation of osmotic and activity coefficients, and relative partial

mol a 1 enthalpies and apparent molal neat capacities of KOH.

The need for reliable thermodynamic data for both the scientific and

the industrial communities has increased greatly in recent years.

Recently the National Battery Advisory Committee (1) recommended that

sulfuric acid and potassium hydroxide data contained in the data base at

the National Bureau of Standards be included in the data base at the

Lawrence Livermore Laboratory since these data are of interest to the

battery industry. This data would be identified by NBS and would be evaluated

for its quality. A bibliography on the properties of aqueous sulfuric

acid has been prepared(2). The present report deals with KOH electrolytes

since KOH is a major constituent in a number of battery systems.

This bibliography has been compiled in support of the project funded

by the Division of Energy Storage Systems of the Department of Energy

under order number EW 78-X-03-0509-A001. This publication is also a part

of the continuing program for the compilation and critical evaluation of

thermodynamic properties of electrolytes.

The bibliography was based upon a search of the following:

1

(1)

files of the Cnemical Thermodynamic and Electrolyte Data Centers at

the National Bureau of Standards; (2) the computerized index to Chemical

Aostracts from January of 1969 through January of 1981; (3) appropriate

citations given in the papers mentioned above; and (4) two publications

of the Electrolyte Data Center: "A Bibliography of Sources Leading to

Activity or Osmotic Coefficients for Polyvalent Electrolytes in Aqueous

Solution" (3) and "A Bibliography of Sources of Experimental Data Leading

to Thermal Properties of Binary Aqueous Electrolyte Solutions" (4).

Titles of each article are provided to indicate the type of data

in the article.

The bibliography is listed in alphabetical order by the first

author in the Appendix.
