The absorption of sound in aqueous solutions of alkali halides decreases with increasing concentration irrespective of the frequency. The mechanism for this sound absorption is explained by a kinetic model describing the behaviour of the nearest-neighbour water molecules around the ions.
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.
