Abstract

The liquid structures of water-tetrahydrofuran (THF) and water-acetone binary mixtures were investigated by the X-ray scattering method. Comparison of the X-ray scattering data revealed that only one kind of intermolecular water-organic molecule interaction is commonly involved throughout all mole fractions of these liquid mixtures, in addition to the intermolecular water-water and organic molecule-organic molecule interactions, which are present in neat water and organic liquids, respectively. On the basis of this finding, we proposed a new analytical method for studying liquid mixtures. By this method the structural information on the intermolecular water-organic molecule interaction as well as the concentrations of the intermolecular water-water, water-organic molecules, and organic molecule-organic molecule interactions were obtained. Combining the concentrations of the intermolecular water-water interaction with the concentrations of water in the liquid mixtures, the number of water-water hydrogen bonds at various mole fractions was experimentally determined for the first time. From the dependence of the number of water-water hydrogen bonds on the composition of the liquid mixtures, the change of the size of the self-associated water-water clusters was deduced.
