Study of Acoustic Nature of Tetrapentylammonium Bromide in N,N-Dimethyl-Ethylmethyl Ketone Systems at Different Temperatures

Ultrasonic velocity, viscosity and density studies on solution of tetrapentylammonium bromide (Pen₄NBr) in N,N-dimethylformamide, ethylmethylketone (EMK) and DMF-EMK solvent mixtures containing 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 mol % of DMF at 298, 308 and 318K have been reported. From the velocity, viscosity and density data values, various parameters namely, the adiabatic compressibility (β), Intermolecular free length (L_f), specific acoustic impedance (Z), free volume (V_f), internal pressure (π_i) and relaxation time (τ) have been calculated. All these parameters have been discussed separately to throw light on the solute-solvent and solvent-solvent interactions.
