Abstract:

This study investigates the molecular interactions of Agarose dissolved in Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) at different concentrations at 303K using ultrasonic techniques. Ultrasonic velocity, density, and viscosity were measured for various Agarose concentrations to examine the intermolecular forces, solute-solvent interactions, and structural behavior of the solution. Acoustical parameters such as adiabatic compressibility (βad), intermolecular free length (Lf), acoustic impedance (Z), Rao’s constant (RA), and Wada’s constant (W) were derived and analyzed. These parameters provide insights into the influence of hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, and the solvation dynamics between Agarose and DMSO. The results highlight the nature and strength of molecular interactions, enhancing our understanding of Agarose’s behavior in solution. These findings have potential applicable in various field like pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and material sciences.

Keywords: Ultrasonic velocity (u), density (ρ), viscosity (η), free length (Lf), adiabatic compressibility (βad), solvation dynamics, solute-solvent interactions.
