Abstract:
A new model of calculating the self-association constants in mixtures of two liquids, an associating solute and a nonassociating solvent, is proposed and analyzed. The model assumes additivity of the time of transmission of the acoustic signal with the volume fractions of the components of the mixture. The model was tested for different systems, showing that the results are reliable and close to expectations. The presented attempt seems to be an interesting alternative in interpreting the experimental results of sound velocity measurements in liquid mixtures.

02:28Intermolecular Forces in Solutions
When the strengths of the intermolecular forces of attraction between solute and solvent species in a solution are no different than those present in the separated components, the solution is formed with no accompanying energy change. Such a solution is called an ideal solution. A mixture of ideal gases (or gases such as helium and argon,...

A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of a solvent, the major component, and a solute, the minor component. The physical state of a solution—solid, liquid, or gas—is typically the same as that of the solvent. Solute concentrations are often described with qualitative terms such as dilute (of relatively low concentration) and concentrated (of relatively high concentration).
In a solution, the solute particles (molecules, atoms, and/or ions)...
