✦ Synopsis

Viscosity B coefficients of aqueous solutions of sodium carboxylates namely sodium formate, acetate, propionate, n-butyrate, n-pentanoate, and trichloroacetate have been determined at 30,35 and WC by studying the relative viscosity of these solutions and the subsequent use of Jones-Dole's equation. The temperature coefficient, dB/dT, for each solution has also been obtained graphically from these data. The results have been interpreted in terms of the effect on "local" structure of water of these largely hydrophobic solutes. An attempt has been made, in this context, to correlate the B coefficient with the corresponding heat of transport, a thermal diffusion parameter.
