Density and Ultrasonic Study of Benzene Sulphonyl Chloride with Hydrocarbon at 303.15 K.

/in /by

Experimental values of  Ultrasonic velocity and density for the binary mixture of   Benzene Sulphonyl Chloride with Hydrocarbons have been measured at 303.15 K over the entire mole fraction range, using these data the excess Adiabatic compressibility (βsE) and excess Free length (Lf E) have been calculated. These parameter were used to study the nature and extent of intermolecular interaction between component molecules, present in binary mixture.  excess value of Adiabatic compressibility (βsE), sound velocity (UE ) and free length(Lf E) were plotted against the mole fraction of  Benzene Sulphonyl Chloride over the whole composition range the value of  βsE, UE, Lf E for these three binary mixture have been found to be negative, the non linear variation of these parameter show the presence of interaction and their excess value is indicative of interaction between the components molecule in all system.
