Abstract
The speed of sound in solutions of zirconyl soaps (caproate, caprylate , and caprate) in xylene + methanol (volume ratio of 4:1) increases wi th increasing concentration and chain length of the soap. The isentrop ic compressibility (k(s)), apparent molar compressibility (phi(k)), an d apparent molar volume (phi(v)) were evaluated, and the results were explained in terms of solute-solvent interactions. It is concluded tha t the soap molecules do not aggregate appreciably below the critical m icellar concentration.
