Highlights

  • Densities for (Na2H2P2O7 + H2O) system up to 0.88402 mol·kg−1 were determined.

  • Volumetric properties of the electrolyte solutions in 3D graphs were plotted.

  • Single salt parameters were obtained 283.15–363.15 K by the Pitzer theory.

  • Temperature-dependence equations for Pitzer single salt parameters were obtained.

Abstract

The purpose of this exploration was to determine the density and volumetric properties of the aqueous solution of Na2H2P2O7 with the molality varied from 0.08706 to 0.88402 mol·kg−1 measured at temperature intervals of 5 K from 283.15 to 363.15 K at 101.325 kPa using Anton Paar Digital vibrating-tube densimeter. The thermal expansion coefficient (α), apparent molar volume (VΦ), expansibility (ϕE), and partial molar volume (VB) of Na2H2P2O7 (aq) against temperature and molality have been evaluated from density data. On the basis of Pitzer ion-interaction apparent molar volume theory, the Pitzer single-salt parameters (βM,X0v, βM,X1v, βM,X2v and CM,Xv, MX = Na2H2P2O7), and their correlation coefficients ai of the temperature-dependence formula f (i, p, T) = a1 + a2ln(T/298.15) + a3(T − 298.15) + a4/(620 – T) + a5/(T − 227) for Na2H2P2O7 were obtained for the first time. It was revealed that predicted apparent molar volumes agreed well with the experimental values indicating the single salt parameters and the temperature-dependent formula are reliable.

Introduction

There are various food additives used in foodstuffs imparting features such as color, flavour, preservation, thickeners, stabilizers, taste, conservation, emulsifier, or acidity regulation. Among those phosphates or polyphosphates are not renewable additives, which are involved in many metabolic pathways and are naturally found in the form of organic esters in foods like egg, meat, potatoes, and cereals (Thangavelu, Kerry, Tiwari, & McDonnell, 2019). Generally, polyphosphates are products of polycondensation of inorganic orthophosphates prepared at high temperatures. The term “condensed inorganic phosphates” is applied to phosphorus compounds with various numbers of PO4 groups linked together by oxygen bridges (Raskovic, 2007). Condensed inorganic phosphates with linear structures are accurately called polyphosphates possessing the general elementary composition [PnO3n+1](n+2) –. Therefore, a metal salt of H4P2O7 is pyrophosphate, H5P3O10 is tripolyphosphate (triphosphate), and H6P4O13 is tetraphosphate. Sodium polyphosphates are well known as suitable substances to have various applications. Especially sodium trimetaphosphate and sodium tripolyphosphate are widely used for phosphorylating starch that may have a significant effect on the pasting property and used as a buffering agent sequestrant or dispersant (Shukri and Shi, 2017, Xiong et al., 2010).

However, among sodium polyphosphate, disodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate or sodium acid pyrophosphate, Na2H2P2O7, is used in the food industry as a good additive. This type of phosphate is a promising product owing to its remarkable performances commonly used in food processing such as in canned seafood, cured meat, and potato products, as well as to adjusting pH, maintaining color, baking powder, and leavening agent for improving water-holding capacity (Abd-Elhakim et al., 2018, Blekas, 2016, Jastrzebska, 2011, Long et al., 2011, Sickler et al., 2013). Additionally, the polyphosphates play a crucial role in lipid oxidation of ground beef when mixed with sodium tripolyphosphate (Sickler et al., 2013). Moreover, it is expected that 0.5% phosphate incorporation into ground beef before cooking aids to store products for a more extended period of time, which has significant benefits. Sodium pyrophosphate along sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate, and trisodium phosphate increased cooking yield, improved pasting viscosity, and reduced cooking loss of wheat flour because of cross-linking between hydroxyl groups of phosphate salts and starch (Chen et al., 2019).

In fact, Na2H2P2O7 was recognized to be a good candidate because of its multifunctional contribution to preventing struvite stones formation in the kidney or bladder, inhibiting the formation of calcium oxalate as well as utilizing as a bone-pain palliation agent for the treatment of bone metastases (Abbasi, 2015, Das et al., 2017). Pyrophosphate ions are based on the promising phosphate material applied successfully as a degradable osteoconductive in calcium phosphate cement resorption and bone generation (Grover et al., 2013).

Likewise, simple orthophosphates including monosodium phosphate, disodium phosphate, and dipotassium phosphate have also been widely used in foods as an ingredient and functional additive for retention of water, buffering agent, prevent the discoloration of fresh noodles, promote starch gelatinization and reduce a cooking loss (Chen et al., 2019, Fu, 2008, Goncalves and Rebeiro, 2008). Furthermore, there are reports about density, thermal expansion coefficient, apparent molar volume, and standard partial volume of aqueous solutions of some sodium orthophosphates at different temperatures and pressures (Woolston et al., 2008, Zhang et al., 2015). For example, in the literature (Zhang et al., 2015), the solubility and physicochemical properties of NaH2PO4 were measured in sodium chloride solutions (0 to 2.66 mol·kg−1), phosphoric acid solutions (0 to 2.79 mol·kg−1), and mixed solutions of sodium chloride and phosphoric acid solutions at temperatures of T = 298.15 and 313.15 K respectively. Densities and apparent molar volumes of aqueous NaH2PO4 (0.1 to 2.1 mol·kg−1), Na2HPO4 (0.1 to 0.5 mol·kg−1), and Na3PO4 (0.4 to 0.6 mol·kg−1) have been determined at temperatures from 373 K to 598 K at constant 15 MPa pressure (Woolston et al., 2008).

Although remarkable and advanced applications of disodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate in daily life have been investigated, unfortunately, there are few reports about the thermodynamic properties of pyrophosphates. Therefore, investigation of the physicochemical properties of sodium acid pyrophosphate is still relevant.

The volumetric properties Na2H2P2O7 need to be investigated for food chemistry and solution chemistry. In the present study, density, thermal coefficient expansion, apparent, partial molar volumes, and expansibilities of disodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate aqueous solutions in the concentration ranging from 0.08706 to 0.88402 mol·kg−1 have been investigated at 5 K intervals from 283.15 K to 363.15 K at 101.325 kPa. Data obtained can be used for the Pitzer ion-interaction theory to predict different thermodynamic processes and equilibrium in these aqueous solutions (Pitzer, 1973).

In general practice, food phosphates solution is heated during diary production for imparting various properties such as buffering, water-binding, emulsification, and protein dispersion properties. Table 1 shows that values of densities for Na2H2P2O7 aqueous solutions decrease smoothly with increasing temperature, while it increases drastically with the increase of molality. The behavior of the density value is affected by mi and T monotonically. A rise in temperature contributes to the
