An Analysis of Acoustical and Thermodynamical Properties of Calcium and Ammonium Nitrates in Non-Aqueous Media-An Ultrasonic Study

Calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate solutions in methanol, ethanol and isopropanol have been studied ultrasonically using a variable path ultrasonic interfometer working at 2 MHz. The apparent molar compressibility, isentropic compressibility, intermolecular free length, specific acoustic impendence, molar sound velocity and solvation number have been evaluated and discussed. Bachem's relation is found to be obeyed. Constants A and B of this relation in various alcohols have also been determined.
