Thermo-Acoustical Study of Biologically Active 1,1’-Bis(3-Methyl-4-Carboxyethylphenoxy) Cyclohexane at Four Different Temperatures

Density (ρ), viscosity (η), ultrasonic speed (U), and thermo-acoustical parameters such as specific acoustical impedance (Z), adiabatic compressibility (κ_a), internal pressure (π), free volume (V_f), inter molecular free path length (L_f), Van der Waals constant (b), viscous relaxation time (τ), classical absorption coefficient (α/f²)_cl, Rao’s molar sound function (R_m), solvation number (S_n), Gibbs free energy of activation (ΔG*), enthalpy of activation (ΔH*) and entropy of activation (ΔS*) of biologically active 1,1’-bis (3-methyl-4-carboxyethylphenoxy) cyclohexane (BMCPC) in 1,4-dioxane (DO), ethyl acetate (EA), tetrahydrofuran (THF) have been studied at four different temperatures: 298, 303, 308 and 313 K to understand the molecular interactions in the solutions. A good to excellent correlation between a given parameter and concentration is observed at all temperatures and solvent systems studied. Linear increase or decrease [except (α/f²)_cl ] of acoustical parameters with concentration and temperature indicated the existence of strong molecular interactions. ΔG* decreased linearly with increasing concentration and temperature in DO and EA systems and increased with temperature in THF system. ΔH* and ΔS* are found practically concentration independent in case of DO and EA system but both are found concentration dependent in THF system.
