<description>Volumetric and Sound Velocity Studies on L-Lysine and L-Arginine in Aqueous Sodium Benzoate Solution at Different Temperature
Mou, Iffat Ara
In this study, a general volumetric and sound velocity method was used to analyze the&#13;
effects of sodium benzoate (SB) on the structure of essential amino acids (L-lysine,&#13;
L-arginine). Densities and sound velocities of L-lysine and L-arginine in aqueous and in&#13;
aqueous 0.05 mol.kg-1, 0.2 mol.kg-1, 0.35 mol.kg-1 and 0.5 mol.kg-1 SB solutions have been&#13;
studied at 293.15K to 313.15K with an interval of 5K. The density data have been used to&#13;
calculate apparent molar volume (φv), limiting apparent molar volume (φv&#13;
0), limiting&#13;
apparent molar volume transfer (Δtrφv&#13;
0), apparent molar expansibilities ( 0&#13;
 E ) and Helper’s&#13;
constant ( E / T) p 0    . The acoustic properties such as adiabatic compressibility (βs),&#13;
apparent molar adiabatic compressibility (k), limiting apparent molar adiabatic&#13;
compressibility (φk&#13;
0), apparent molar adiabatic compressibility transfer (Δtrφk&#13;
0), acoustic&#13;
impedance (Z) and hydration number (nH) have been calculated by densities and sound&#13;
velocities data.&#13;
The densities increase with the increase of concentration of amino acids. Densities of&#13;
amino acids in aqueous SB solutions are higher than that of amino acids in aqueous&#13;
solution. The limiting apparent molar volumes (φv&#13;
0) and the values of experimental slope&#13;
(Sv) are positive. The smaller values of Sv as compared to φv&#13;
0 values suggest the&#13;
dominance of solute-solvent interaction over the solute-solute interaction.&#13;
The limiting apparent molar volume transfer (Δtrφv&#13;
0) values of L-lysine and L-arginine in&#13;
SB solutions are negative. This indicate that ion-hydrophobic and hydrophobichydrophobic&#13;
group interaction are dominating over the hydrophilic-hydrophilic interaction.&#13;
The values of limiting apparent molar expansion ( 0&#13;
 E ) are positive. These trends in&#13;
limiting apparent molar expansions for these amino acids in each concentration of SB&#13;
solutions indicating the presence of solute-solvent interaction. The Hepler’s constant&#13;
p ( E / T) 0    values of binary system are entirely positive for all studied amino acids suggest&#13;
the studied systems act as structure makers. In ternary system some values are small&#13;
negative and some values are positive. Hepler’s constant p ( E / T) 0    in ternary solutions indicating the structure making properties of amino acids in SB solutions. The values of&#13;
partial molar volumes (V̅ 2) increase with increasing of concentration of L-lysine,&#13;
L-arginine for the studied systems.&#13;
As the concentration of amino acids increases, the adiabatic compressibility (βs) decreases.&#13;
This indicates the water molecules around the amino acids are less compressible than the&#13;
water molecules in the bulk solution. The negative apparent molar adiabatic&#13;
compressibility (k) values indicate the greater loss of structural compressibility of water&#13;
implying a greater ordering effect by the solute on the solvent. Δtrφk&#13;
0 values of L-lysine are&#13;
positive whereas Δtrφk&#13;
0 of L-arginine are negative. This indicate that hydrophilichydrophilic&#13;
and ion-hydrophilic interaction are dominating for L-lysine systems whereas&#13;
hydrophobic-hydrophobic and ion-hydrophobic interactions are dominating for L-arginine&#13;
systems. The small Sk values also indicates the solute-solvent interactions.&#13;
The increase in acoustic impedance Z, indicates the presence of effective solvent-solvent&#13;
interactions with the increase in solution concentration. The positive hydration number (nH)&#13;
values indicate an admirable solubility of the solutes.&#13;
Water molecules around amino acids have less shrinkage than water molecules in bulk&#13;
solutions. The compressive strength of the ternary solution is less than that of the binary&#13;
solution. This result suggests that the proteins or peptides generated from the studied&#13;
amino acids will be denatured in ternary SB solutions.

The density and viscosity of NAC (0.10 to 1.00) mol.L−1 in H2O, DMF and DMF–&#13;
H2O mixed solutions were measured and studied over the entire molarity range with in&#13;
the temperature range of 298.15 to 318.15 K at 5 K interval. The apparent molar&#13;
volumes, were determined from density values experimented by Density and Sound&#13;
Velocity Meter (DSA 5000M) Anton Paar, Austria. In the NAC–H2O and NAC in [1:4]&#13;
and [2:3] [DMFH2O] solvent systems the apparent molar volumes of NAC were found&#13;
to be increased, whereas in the NAC–DMF and NAC in [4:1] and [3:2] [DMFH2O]&#13;
solvent systems apparent molar volumes of NAC were found to be decreased. Apparent&#13;
molar volume at infinite dilution, 0&#13;
v  and Sv values were also computed according to the&#13;
experimented density values. The apparent molar volume at infinite dilution provided an&#13;
idea about the presence of solutesolvent interactions of the investigated systems. Sv, the&#13;
experimental slopes which provided an idea about the prevailing solutesolute&#13;
interactions in the mixtures. Both 0&#13;
v  and Sv values indicated that there both solute-solute&#13;
and solute-solvent interactions present in the binary as well as in ternary solutions.&#13;
The investigated systems showed hasty increase of viscosity values with the increased&#13;
NAC concentration but the values of viscosity decreased with the increase of&#13;
temperature. In binary and ternary systems showed the similar trend viscosity changes&#13;
but in different order of magnitude. The order for binary and ternary systems are: NAC–&#13;
DMF &gt; NACH2O and NAC in [3:2] [DMF–H2O] &gt; NAC in [4:1] [DMF–H2O] &gt; NAC&#13;
in [2:3] [DMF–H2O] &gt; NAC in [1:4] [DMF–H2O] &gt; NAC–DMF &gt; NACH2O,&#13;
respectively. The viscosity values were employed to determine the viscosity coefficients&#13;
i.e., A and B-coefficients; change of free energy, G*; change of enthalpy, H* as well&#13;
as change of entropy, S*. Negative values of A and positive values of B co-efficients&#13;
suggesting that weak solute-solute but strong solute-solvent interaction present in the&#13;
binary and ternary solution, respectively. From these thermodynamic parameters state of&#13;
the spontaneity of the investigated systems were known. On the basis of this data, the&#13;
predominant molecular interactions occurring between NAC–H2O and NAC in [1:4] and&#13;
[2:3] [DMFH2O] solvent systems were found to be solute-solute interaction, where as&#13;
in NAC–DMF and NAC in [4:1] and [3:2] [DMFH2O] solvent systems solute-solvent&#13;
interaction were predominant.

Vattya, Banamali
The density and viscosity of NAC (0.10 to 1.00) mol.L−1 in H2O, CH3COOH and&#13;
H2O–CH3COOH mixed solutions were measured and analyzed over the whole&#13;
concentration range at (298.15, 303.15, 308.15, 313.15 and 318.15) K temperatures. The&#13;
apparent molar volumes were obtained from the experimental density data. In the NAC–&#13;
H2O and NAC in [9:1] [H2O–CH3COOH] solvent systems the apparent molar volume of&#13;
NAC increases, whereas in the NAC–CH3COOH and NAC in [4:1], [7:3] and [3:2]&#13;
[H2O–CH3COOH] solvent systems it decreases. With the help of experimental density&#13;
data apparent molar volume at infinite dilution, and Sv values were also calculated. The&#13;
apparent molar volume at infinite dilution gives an idea about the presence of&#13;
solutesolvent interactions while Sv is the experimental slopes which give an idea about&#13;
the prevailing solutesolute interactions in the mixtures. The calculated data indicate that&#13;
there may be solute-solute and solute-solvent interactions present in the binary and&#13;
ternary solutions. Binary and ternary systems showed rapid increase of viscosity values&#13;
with the increase in NAC concentration but the values of viscosity decreased with the&#13;
increase of temperature for all the experimented system. The viscosity data were&#13;
employed to find out the viscosity (A, B) coefficients, change of free energy, G*,&#13;
change of enthalpy, H* as well as change of entropy, S*. From these thermodynamic&#13;
parameters state of the spontaneity of the investigated systems were identified.&#13;
Moreover, negative A and positive B co-efficient values suggesting that weak solutesolute&#13;
but strong solute-solvent interaction present in the binary and ternary solution. On&#13;
the basis of this data, the predominant molecular interactions occurring between NAC–&#13;

interaction, whereas in NAC–CH3COOH and NAC in [4:1], [7:3] and [3:2] [H2O–&#13;
CH3COOH] solvent systems solute-solvent interaction were predominant.

<description>Studies on Volumetric and Sound Velocity of Ciprofloxacin in Aqueous Solution of Glucose, Sodium Chloride &amp; Potassium Chloride Salts at Different Temperatures
Khanam, Masuda
In this study, volumetric and sound velocity method was applied to analyze the interaction of&#13;
ciprofloxacin on the structure of glucose, NaCl and KCl. Densities and sound velocities of&#13;
glucose, NaCl and KCl in water and in aqueous ciprofloxacin (0.03, 0.045 and 0.06) mol.kg-1&#13;
solutions have been studied at 293.15 K to 318.15 K with an interval of 5 K temperature. The&#13;
density values have been used to calculate apparent molar volume (φv), limiting apparent molar&#13;
volume (φv&#13;
0), limiting apparent molar volume transfer (Δtrφv&#13;
0), apparent molar expansibilities&#13;
(δφv&#13;
0/δT)p and Hepler constant (δ2φv&#13;
0/δT2)p. The acoustic properties such as adiabatic&#13;
compressibility (βs), apparent molar adiabatic compressibility (φk), limiting apparent molar&#13;
adiabatic compressibility (φk&#13;
0), apparent molar adiabatic compressibility of transfer (Δtrφk&#13;
0),&#13;
acoustic impedance (Z), relative association (RA) and hydration number (nH) have also been&#13;
calculated by densities and sound velocities data.&#13;
The densities increase with the increase of concentration of glucose, NaCl and KCl. Densities&#13;
of glucose, NaCl and KCl in aqueous ciprofloxacin solutions are higher than that of glucose,&#13;
NaCl and KCl in aqueous solution. The increase of density with concentration of glucose,&#13;
NaCl and KCl can be attributed to solute-solvent interaction. The limiting apparent molar&#13;
volumes (φv&#13;
0) are positive at the studied temperatures for the all mixtures indicate the presence&#13;
of solute-solvent interactions. The positive values of Sv indicate strong solute-solute interaction&#13;
and φv&#13;
0 values suggest the dominance of solute-solvent interaction.&#13;
The limiting apparent molar volume transfer (Δtrφv&#13;
0) values have been found negative for NaCl&#13;
and KCl in (0.03 and 0.045) and (0.03, 0.045 and 0.06) mol.kg-1 aqueous ciprofloxacin&#13;
solutions respectively, which suggest the existence of ion-hydrophobic and hydrophobichydrophobic&#13;
group interaction. But Δtrφv&#13;
0 values are positive for glucose and NaCl in (0.03,&#13;
0.045 and 0.06) and 0.06 mol.kg-1 aqueous ciprofloxacin respectively, which suggest the&#13;
existence of ion-hydrophilic and hydrophilic-hydrophilic interactions. The values of limiting&#13;
apparent molar expansion (Eφ&#13;
0) are positive. The Hepler constant (δ2φv&#13;
0/δT2)p values are small&#13;
negative for all studied glucose, NaCl and KCl suggest the studied systems act as structure&#13;
makers. The values of partial molar volumes ( 2) increase with increasing concentration of&#13;
glucose, NaCl and KCl for all studied systems.&#13;
The sound velocity increases with the increase of concentration of glucose, NaCl and KCl.&#13;
Sound velocities of glucose, NaCl and KCl in aqueous ciprofloxacin solutions are higher than&#13;
those of glucose, NaCl and KCl in aqueous solution. This indicate that the increase of&#13;
compactness of the medium with the increase in glucose, NaCl and KCl and ciprofloxacin&#13;
concentration.&#13;
The adiabatic compressibility (βs) decreases with the increasing concentration of glucose,&#13;
NaCl and KCl. This indicates that water molecules around the glucose, NaCl and KCl are less&#13;
compressible than the water molecules in the bulk solution. The negative apparent molar&#13;
adiabatic compressibility (φk) values indicate the greater loss of structural compressibility of&#13;
water. The values of limiting apparent molar adiabatic compressibility (φk&#13;
0) are negative. The&#13;
values of apparent molar adiabatic compressibility transfer (Δtrφk&#13;
0) are mainly positive which&#13;
suggest the existence of strong ion-solvent interaction. At lower concentration, negative values&#13;
of Δtrφk&#13;
0 indicate that increase in hydrophobic-hydrophobic group interactions. The small Sk&#13;
values also indicates the domination of solute-solvent interaction over solute-solute interaction.&#13;
The acoustic impedance, Z increases with the increase of concentration of glucose, NaCl and&#13;
KCl. The relative association, RA decreases linearly with increasing the concentration of solute&#13;
indicates the increase of solute-solvent interaction. The positive hydration number (nH) values&#13;
indicate an appreciable solvation of solutes.
