✦ Synopsis

Various acoustic methods have been utilized to compute the molecular radius of pure liquids and liquid mixtures at varying conditions. The values thus obtained have been compared against the values obtained from a non-acoustic method, which uses refractive index data. These results have been utilized to study the relative merits of these various relations. An attempt to correlate the molecular radii of the liquids and liquid mixtures with other related properties of the liquid system has also been made. The applicability of an acoustic method like Schaaffs' method for the computation of the molecular radius in liquid mixtures has also been authenticated.
