Acoustical and Viscometric Studies of CdCl2 and KCl in Aqueous-Acetone Co-Solvent Between 25 and 45°C

Abstract

Ultrasonic velocity of CdCl2 and KCl in co-solvent of Acetone and Water is measured at different concentrations from 298.15 K to 318.15 K using single crystal interferometer; operating at frequency of 2 MHz. Various acoustical parameters such as adiabatic compressibility (βs), specific impedance (Z), apparent molar compressibility (ØK), relative association (R A), Rao's molar sound function (R), molar compressibility (W), free volume (V f) have been calculated. Results throw light on the solute-solvent and solute-solute interactions. Effect of temperature variation on these interactions has also been discussed.
