. Can. J. Chem. 65, 303 (1987).The ultrasonic velocity, U , density, and viscosity of aqueous and non-aqueous (water + dioxan) solutions of tetracycline hydrochloride and chlorotetracycline have been measured at two different temperatures. Partial molal volumes, $, , partial molal compressibility, $kr Vand's interaction coefficients, Q and C , and thermodynamic activation parameters AG*, AS*, and AH* of these solutions have been computed from the ultrasonic velocity, density, and viscosity data. The results are interpreted in terms of solute-solvent interaction.
