Abstract

In this work, acoustic, thermal, and optical properties were tested on the different concentrations of the Disodium Tartrate solutions. First, the viscosity studies were analyzed for the Disodium tartrate in the concentration range from 2% to 20% with different temperatures 303K, 308K, 313K, and 318K. It was noted that the relative viscosity and the activation energy of the prepared compound increase with increases in concentration and decreases with temperature increases. The properties like density and ultrasonic velocity are varied when increases the concentration of the aqueous solutions of Disodium Tartrate. In this study, the values of adiabatic compressibility show an inverse behavior when compared with ultrasonic velocity due to the interaction between solute and solvent molecules. Also observed that the inter-molecular free length is maximum for a lower percentage. The free volume for the compound is maximum at 2% and a minimum of 20%, since it reduces when the internal pressure increases. It was revealed that the classical absorption coefficient and relaxation time for Disodium Tartrate is minimum for lower percentage and minimum for a higher percentage. The interactions between the solute and solvent are confirmed through the property like specific Acoustical impedance. It was noted that the increase in internal pressure increases the concentration of the compound. The ion-solvent interaction was discussed by the relative association study, thus the values of relative association increases with an increase in concentration. The Rao’s and Wada’s constant increases linearly in aqueous solutions of Disodium Tartrate for the entire system.

Summary

Introduction

Double salts are salts containing more than one cation or anion. A well-known double salt is an alum containing two cations (Potassium and Aluminum) and a sulfate anion. Alums are double sulphates of a monovalent cation and a trivalent cation containing water of crystallization. Double salts when dissolved in water dissociate into simple ions completely [1]. Tartaric acid is an organic (carbon-based) compound of the chemical formula C4H6O6 and has the official name 2,3-dihydroxybutanedioic acid. In this name, the 2,3- dihydroxy refers to the two OH- groups on the second and third carbon atoms, and the butane portion of the name refers to a four-carbon molecule. Tartaric acid is found throughout nature, especially in many fruits and in wine[2]
