Volumetric and compressibility properties offer us insight into the kinds of interactions existing in the solutions. Taking that into consideration, we measured the densities and sound velocities of 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium chloride in aqueous and 0.05 mol•kg −1 aqueous L-alanine solutions within the concentration ranges of 0.01−0.14 mol•kg −1 at different temperatures (293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, 313.15, and 318.15 K) and atmospheric pressure. These experimental results are used to determine the apparent molar volume of solute (V φ ), apparent molar compressibility of solute (K S,φ ), limiting apparent molar volume of solute (V φ 0 ), and limiting apparent molar compressibility of solute (K S,φ 0 ) for 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium chloride in aqueous and 0.05 mol•kg −1 aqueous L-alanine solutions. The transfer partial molar volume (Δ tr V φ 0 ) and compressibility (Δ tr K S,φ 0 ) of 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-methylimidazolium chloride from water to aqueous L-alanine solution were also computed. The outcome of the study reveals that the interaction between [HEMIm][Cl] in both water and L-alanine increases with the rise in temperature. The positive values of transfer parameters are observed, which indicate that the ion−hydrophilic/hydrophilic− hydrophilic interactions predominate over hydrophobic−hydrophobic interactions. The positive Hepler's constant, i.e., (∂ 2 V φ 0 /∂T 2 ) P , values imply that [HEMIm][Cl] behaves cosmotropically in all binary and ternary studied systems. Additionally, the optimization and energetics of various framed structural systems of the concerned ionic liquid are computed using Gaussian to characterize various intermolecular interactions.
