RECENT RESEARCH – Kraus-Bray model for solvation behaviour of thiocynate in isopropyl alcohol–water mixtures
An investigation on the solvation behaviour of sodium thiocyanate in isopropyl alcohol- water mixture was carried out conductometrically by applying Kraus-Bray model and interpreted on the basis of interactions operating in the medium. Endothermic nature of the system and structure breaking behaviour has been established from the study. Isopropyl alcohol – water mixture, which is an essential ingredient of sanitizers, was found to form clathrate-like structures. The structural information obtained about the solvent mixture is used to explain the solute-solvent interactions prevailing in the solution. Read more: http://www.ijamtes.org/gallery/81-jan19.pdf
