Abstract

ABSTRACTDensity and sound speed measurements have been carried out for the ternary systems consisting of tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) in 0.1 m aqueous magnesium sulphate heptahydrate (MgSO4.7H2O)-water over the full range of composition from T = 293.15 to 318.15 K by using volumetric method. Using this experimental data, various physical and thermodynamical parameters such as adiabatic compressibility, apparent molal compressibility, apparent molal volume, apparent and limiting partial molar volumes of the electrolytes and ions in these mixtures have been evaluated and split into respective ionic contributions. The results have been discussed in terms of ion–ion and ion–solvent interactions occurring between TBAB and aqueous MgSO4 solutions. Further, structure making/breaking behaviour of MgSO4 has been reported in terms of sign of the partial molar expansibility at infinite dilution.
