Molecular
interactions of amino acids with ionic liquids are significant
to study the molecular stability and physicochemical properties of
amino acids. Mixtures of amino acids l-leucine and N-acetyl-l-leucine + (0.005, 0.010, 0.030, and
0.050 mol·kg–1) aqueous solution of ionic liquid
(1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride) at temperature T = (288.15, 298.15, 308.15, and 318.15 K) have been studied by density
and speeds of sound measurements. Volumetric properties have been
obtained by utilizing data of density. Volumetric properties include
apparent molar volumes, partial molar volumes at infinite dilution,
limiting partial molar volumes of transfer at infinite dilution, apparent
molar expansibility, etc. Similarly, speeds of sound measurements
are utilized to calculate corresponding parameters like apparent molar
isentropic compression, K
ϕ,s, apparent
molar isentropic compression at infinite dilution, K
ϕ,s
0,
and transfer compressibility at infinite dilution ΔK
ϕ,s
0.
Results confirmed the predominance of the hydrophilic–hydrophilic
interaction over the hydrophobic–hydrophobic interaction in
ternary solutions.
