Viscometric and volumetric studies of some transition metal chlorides in glycine water solution

Abstract

Viscosity and density data for nickel (II), copper (II), cobalt (II) and zinc (II) chlorides in glycine-water mixture at different concentrations and temperatures have been analysed

using the Jones-Dole equation. The activation parameters of viscous flow have been obtained to throw light on the mechanism of viscous flow. The values of apparent molar volume and

relative viscosity have been deduced from the density and viscosity data. Structure making/breaking capacities of these transition metal chlorides have been inferred from the sign of <i>d</i>B<i>/d</i>T<i>. </i>All the electrolytes behave as structure makers/promotors.
