Description

Gaussian 16 calculations. The entropy difference between H3O(+).OH(-).9H2O as a bridged ion pair and separated ions is 188.16 cal/mol/K, or -23.0 in the free energy of separation. This is more or less balanced by the fre energy required to break three strong solvent bridge hydrogen bonds during the separation process. Thus the free energy of the contact ion pair and the solvent-separated ion pairs is approximately the same! The coulomb potential for separating two ions from ~3.3A out to infinity in a water dielectric is small (+1.1 kcal/mol) and does not materially influence this result.
