Abstract

Density and viscosity experimental data for l-histidine in NaCl aqueous solutions were obtained at different salt and different amino acid concentrations in the range of temperatures between 293.15 and 323.15 K. The results have been correlated and analyzed in order to evaluate the influence of electrolyte concentration and temperature on the volumetric and viscometric properties of the solutions. The apparent molar volumes and the transfer volumes of l-histidine in aqueous NaCl solutions at different salt and amino acid molalities over entire temperature range were calculated from experimental density data. The viscosity experimental data have been analyzed with Jones–Dole equation and the Falkenhagen (A) and the Jones–Dole coefficient (B) have been calculated in order to evaluate the interactions occurring in the systems. The B viscosity coefficients were found to be positive for all conditions, showing a kosmotropic effect of solutes, indicating an alignment of zwitterions with ions/water dipoles. A comparison of standard partial molar volumes for some amino acids in water and NaCl aqueous solutions shows that they increase with molecular mass and complexity of the lateral side chain of the amino acid.
