Densimetric and ultrasonic characterization of pentaerythritol in water and in aqueous NaCl and MgCl2 solutions at different temperatures

The densities at T = (293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, 310.15, and 313.15) K and sound velocities at T = (298.15 and 310.15) K have been measured for pentaerythritol in pure water and in (1, 5, and 10) wt% aqueous solutions of sodium and magnesium chloride. From these data apparent molar volumes, V_Φ, and the apparent molar isenotropic compressibilities, K_S,Φ, of the polyol have been determined. The limiting apparent molar quantities and corresponding transfer parameters were also obtained and discussed in terms of various solute–solvent and solute–cosolute interactions.
