Abstract

Raman spectra of 5.196 <i>m</i> aqueous zinc nitrate solution have been measured at a pressure of 11 MPa and temperatures ranging from 25 to 300°C. A band at 386 cm<sup>−1</sup>, assigned to the hexaaquazinc(II) cation, decreases in intensity and increases in frequency as the temperature rises. These observations are consistent with the replacement of water molecules in the primary solvation shell of Zn<sup>2+</sup> by a nitrate ion. Changes in the spectrum of nitrate ion support this interpretation. Evidence is also presented which suggests that the octahedral configuration around Zn<sup>2+</sup> is being changed to a tetrahedral configuration. Estimates are made of the populations of inner sphere and outer sphere nitrate; from the plots of log <i>Q</i><sub><i>m</i></sub> vs 1/<i>T</i> estimates are made of Δ<i>H</i> and Δ<i>S</i> for the ion association. The plots are remarkably linear over 275 degrees of temperature.
