Ion solvation in biologically active magnesium salt with lactose–water mixed solvent system at different temperatures: a thermo-acoustics study

ABSTRACT

This paper presents the ion-solvations in biologically important metal ion like magnesium in lactose–water mixed solvent systems at different temperatures. The investigation involves the measurement of ultrasonic velocity, density and viscosity of different concentration of magnesium sulphate in various proportions of lactose–water mixed solvents at temperature 303.15, 308.15, 313.15 K and at atmospheric pressure. Different thermo-acoustic parameters have been calculated from the measured values and have been discussed in the light of ion–solvent interactions.
