Evaluation of ultrasonic parameters in binary mixture of ethyl methyl ketone and alcohols vis-à-vis molecular interaction

Abstract

In view of utility of<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"> </b>ethyl methyl ketone (EMK) as a nuclear extractant used in atomic energy industry, several ultrasonic parameters namely ultrasonic velocity, isentropic compressibility, acoustic impedance and intermolecular free length have been determined in binary mixture of EMK and alcohols at temperature 303.16 K and frequency 2 MHz by using ultrasonic interferometer. The excess parameters β^E, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Z</i>^E are also computed for different mole fraction of EMK, the results indicate that there is formation of micro heterogeneous clusters of unlike molecules in both the systems.
