In the present study, densities, ρ, and velocities of sound, u, have been measured for mono-, di-, and trisaccharides at molalities ranging from (0.0 50 to 0.100) mol•kg −1 in aqueous solutions of leucine (0.025, 0.050, and 0.100) mol•kg −1 over a wide temperature range (293.15 to 313.15) K. By using density and velocities of sound data the partial molar volumes, ϕ v o , isentropic compressibilities, κ s , and partial molar isentropic compression, ϕ k o , for different saccharides have been evaluated. The trends of variation of different parameters have been interpreted in light of the solute−solvent/cosolute and solute−solute interactions occurring in these systems. An attempt has also been made to compare the results with the corresponding results in aqueous electrolyte solutions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
