Acoustical studies of some synthesized Schiff base derivatives in dimethylsulphoxide at 303.15 K, by ultrasonic velocity measurement

The density, viscosity and sound velocity of five Schiff bases (1-5) derivatives in DMSO solutions have been studied at 303.15 K over a wide range of concentration. From these experimental data, some acoustical parameters such as Molar volume (Vm), Specific Acoustic Impedance (Z), Adiabatic compressibility (βad), Intermolecular Free Length (Lf), Rao’s Constant (R), Molar compressibility (W), Relaxation time(τ), van der Waals constant (b), Relaxation strength (r), Relative association (RA), Isothermal compressibility (β_T ) , Isothermal expansion co-efficient (α) ,Free volume (Vf) and Internal pressure (πi) and Ultrasonic attenuation (α/f²) have been evaluated. A fairly good correlation between a given parameter and concentration is observed. The results are interpreted in terms of molecular interactions like solvent-solvent, solvent-solute and solute-solute interactions.
