The density and sound velocity values
for polyethylene glycols
(PEGs) with molecular weights 200 and 400 in ethanol–chlorhexidine
solutions were investigated at different temperatures, 288.15 to 318.15
K, and concentrations of 0.001, 0.003, and 0.005 mol·kg–1. The apparent molar properties and partial molar properties of ethanol–chlorhexidine
solutions containing PEGs (200/400) were obtained using this experimental
data. The thermodynamic parameters, such as apparent molar volume,
(V
ϕ), and limiting partial molar
volume, (V
ϕ
0), are determined using density values obtained
experimentally, whereas acoustic properties, such as apparent molar
isentropic compression, (K
ϕ, s), and limiting partial molar isentropic compression, (K
ϕ, s
0), are calculated using sound velocity values. These thermodynamic
apparent and partial molar properties imply the occurrence of strong
solute–solvent interactions. The temperature-dependent partial
molar volume and partial molar expansibilities (E
ϕ
0) were
also calculated. The presence of strong solute–solvent interactions
has been discovered in the liquid mixtures.
