Volumetric and acoustic properties of some sodium sulfonamides in dilute aqueous solutions at several temperatures

Densities and speed of sound of dilute aqueous solutions of three sodium sulfonamides structurally-related, namely, sodium sulfadiazine (NaSD), sodium sulfamerazine (NaSMR) and sodium sulfamethazine (NaSMT) were measured as a function of molal concentration at various temperatures (278.15-308.15) K. Standard molar quantities and related properties were calculated and the results were interpreted in terms of structural effects, and solute-solvent interactions. Results suggest that these sulfonamides are acting as structure makers of the water-structure.
