Abstract

Six drugs belonging to one class which are used for reducing cough have been chosen for an ultrasonic study. These solutions have in them as major components-Chlorpheniramine maleate/diphenydramine hydrochloride/ambroxol hydrochloride/terbutalline sulphate/codeine phosphate/herbal syrup. Ultrasonic velocity and density have been measured in the aqueous solutions of these systems at 303.15K. Deviations in velocity and compressibility have been computed. Also the effect of these systems on the structure of water has been analysed employing Jacobson’s theory of adiabatic compressibilities.

Keywords

Ultrasonic Velocity, Adiabatic Compressibility, Jacobson’s Theory, Aqueous Solutions, Structural Properties.

Abstract

Ultrasonic velocity and density have been measured in the binary mixtures of acetophenone and NN-dimethylformamide with benzyl benzoate as common component at three temperatures 30, 40 and 50°C. Adiabatic compressibility, free length, molar volume etc. have been calculated and the excess parameters of these are employed for estimating the molecular interactions in the mixed state. Mostly strong and dipole-dipole interactions are indicated in the acetophenone and dimethylformamide systems at all concentrations. In both the systems endothermic type of reactions is suggested. From a theoretical evaluation of velocities, CFT, NOMOTO and JUNJIE appear to have an edge.

Keywords

Abstract

Ultrasonic velocity, density and viscosity have been measured in the binary mixtures of alcohols with benzyl benzoate as common component at 30°C. The thermodynamic and other related parameters like isentropic compressibility, free length, internal pressure, Gibb's activation energy etc. have been computed and their excess parameters are analyzed in the light of molecular interactions between the constituent molecules in the mixture. In all the three binary mixtures, strong molecular interactions between unlike molecules are predicted besides dipole-dipole interactions. In all the three mixtures endothermic reaction appears to be prevalent.

Abstract

Ultrasonic velocity, density and viscosity have been measured experimentally in the two binary mixtures of benzyl benzoate in dichloromethane and iso-butanol at three temperatures 30,35 and 40°C over the entire composition range. The thermodynamic and other allied parameters like adiabatic compressibility, free length, internal pressure, enthalpy etc. have been computed and the variation of the excess parameters like excess compressibility, excess internal pressure, excess enthalpy, excess activation energy etc. is analyzed in the light of inter molecular interactions in the mixtures. In both the mixtures, strong intermolecular interactions between the constituent molecules are suggested.
