ULTRASONIC ABSORPTION IN BUTYRIC ACID
Keyword(s):
Ultrasonic absorption has been measured in pure butyric acid by a pulse technique from 0 ° to 40 °C. and values of the relaxation frequency obtained. The activation energy of the relaxation process is shown to be 1.1 kcal./mole. These results are compared with published values for acetic and propionic acids and possible relaxation processes are discussed.
