Abstract:
The viscosity of sodium salts, namely, sodium tartarate and sodium oxalate in acidic aqueous ethanol (10-50% v/v) has been measured at 30. The viscosities at 30, 40, 50 and 60 C have also been measured at different concentrations of sodium salts in 50% ethanol, for the determination of the energy of activation. The viscosity data were found to fit the Jones-Dole equation. The increase in B-coefficient with an increase in temperature leads to the conclusion that the sodium salts behave as a structure breaker in acidic aqueous ethanol.
