Study of Acoustical Properties of Lead Oxide Nanoparticle in Different Solvent Mixtures at 305 K by Using Nanofluid Interferometer

Abstract

In the present paper, study the acoustical properties of lead oxide nanoparticles through the measurement of ultrasonic velocity and density of lead oxide nanoparticles as a ligand in 70% dioxane + water, 70% methanol + water, and 70% ethanol + water mixtures‐based solutions has been carried out, this measurement is important for understanding the particle–particle, particle–solvent, and molecular interaction. The reported nanoparticles of lead oxide by using biological method such as using plant extract, but their acoustical properties of lead oxide nanoparticles are attracted the attentions of many researchers. Hence, the present investigation is focused on the study of acoustical parameters of lead oxide nanoparticles like adiabatic compressibility (β), acoustic impedance (Z), free length, and relative association by using the nanofluid interferometer. These measurements are carried out at frequency 2 MHz and temperature 305 K (at room temperature). The obtained results are helped to observe the behavior of ultrasonic velocity and acoustic properties at different concentrations range of ligand (i.e., lead oxide nanoparticle) such as 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15 mol dm−3 reveal the presence of interaction between particle–particle, particle and solvent.
