Ultrasonic Studies of Binary Mixtures of p-Chlorotoluene with l-Alcohols at 303.15 K

Abstract Ultrasonic sound velocities and densities were measured for the binary mixtures of p-chlorotoluene with l-alcohols. The alcohols included: l-propanol, l-butanol, l-pentanol, l-hexanol and l-heptanol. Isentropic compressibilities, ks and deviation in isentropic compressibility, Ks from ideal behaviour have been calculated from the results. The deviation in isentropic compressibility has been ascribed to competition between structure-breaking and structural effects to different extents.
