A study on ion-solvent interactions of some tetra-alkyl and multicharged electrolytes in water at different temperatures

Abstract

The Partial molar volumes and viscosities of some common electrolytes, tetra-alkyl salts and multi charged electrolytes, viz., ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulphate, tetramethyl ammonium chloride and tetraethyl ammonium iodide, ammonium ceric, nitrate and ammonium cerium (iv) sulphate, respectively, have been determined in water at different temperatures. The density data have been analysed by means of masson’s equation. The experimental results of viscosity have been analysed using the Jones-Dole equation. All the different types of electrolytes behave similarity and act as structure breakers. The activation parameters of viscous flows have also been obtained to throw on the mechanism of viscous flow.
