Effect of ethylene glycol/diethylene glycol/triethylene glycol on the thermodynamics of the aqueous biotin solutions at various temperatures

Abstract

Acoustic and volumetric parameters for the liquid mixture (water + Biotin + ethylene glycol/diethylene glycol/triethylene glycol) are evaluated at different temperatures (288.15 K, 298.15 K, 308.15 K, and 318.15 K) and constant pressure of 0.1 MPa over the range of biotin concentrations (0.0000, 0.0015, 0.0025, and 0.0035) mol·Kg-1. The experimental work was carried out by Anton Paar DSA 5000 M, where the density (ρ) and the speed of sound (c) are measured, which are later used to determine the various derived thermodynamic properties, such as, apparent molar properties (apparent molar volume, Vϕ; apparent molar isentropic compression,Kϕ,S), the partial molar properties (partial molar volume, Vϕ0; partial molar isentropic compression, Kϕ,S0), the partial molar transfer properties (partial molar volume of transfer, ΔVϕ0; partial molar isentropic compression of transfer, ΔKϕ,S0) and the partial molar expansibility (Eϕ0) along with its first derivative ∂Eϕ0/∂TP. The obtained results are explained in terms of the kind of intermolecular interactions developed in the mixture using the co-sphere overlap model. Further, with the partial molar properties, the pair and triplet interaction coefficients (VAB,KAB; VABB, KABB) are calculated.
