The present study involves measurement
of the density and ultrasonic
speed of sound via Anton Paar DSA 5000 M for the binary mixture of
water + poly(ethylene glycol) 600/poly(ethylene glycol) 6000 and ternary
mixture of water + d-Panthenol + poly(ethylene glycol)
600/poly(ethylene glycol) 6000 covering a whole range of compositions
(0.00, 0.02, 0.07, and 0.12 mol kg–1) at 0.01 MPa
pressure from 288.15 to 318.15 K. The volumetric properties (apparent
molar volume, partial molar volume, and partial molar volume of transfer)
are evaluated from the density data; meanwhile, the speed of sound
data is utilized to determine the acoustic properties (apparent molar
isentropic compression, partial molar isentropic compression, and
partial molar isentropic compression of transfer). This investigation
is further extended by calculating the partial molar expansibility
with its first derivative and pair-triplet interaction coefficients
from these derived thermodynamic parameters. The obtained results
from these calculated parameters are expressed as solute–solvent,
ion–hydrophilic, hydrophilic–hydrophilic, and dipole–dipole
interactions prevailing in the liquid sample.
