Ultrasonic Absorption in Binary Mixtures of Carbon Disulphide in Comparison with Bauer’s Theory

Abstract

A calculation has been made according to the theory of Bauer and Pinkerton to explain the experimental findings on variation of ultrasonic absorption coefficient with concentration of organic liquids like C₆H₆, CCl₄, CH₃I, C₆H₅Cl, C₆H₅NO₂ and C₂H₅I with their α⁄f² values (α-amplitude absorption coefficient and f-frequency) ranging from 900×10⁻¹⁷ c.g.s to 40×10⁻¹⁷ c.g.s in binary mixtures of CS₂. The disagreement between the calculated and experimental results that the theories of Pinkerton and Bauer are not working well for most of the mixtures containing CS₂ even though their components are nonassociative and noninteracting.
