MOLECULAR INTERACTION STUDIES OF ZWITTER- ION IN AQUEOUS SUCROSE AND ASCORBIC ACID AT CONSTANT TEMPERATURE

Density and viscosity of L-Arginine in aqueous sucrose and ascorbic acid solutions have been determined experimentally at 298 K. The results obtained from density and viscosity measurement have been used to calculate the Hydration number Hn, apparent molar volume фv, partial molal volume ф v , at infinite dilution, transfer volume ∆ф tr and B- coefficient. It has been observed that there exist strong solute-solvent interaction and complex formation between in these ternary systems. The properties of this amino acid in water and aqueous sucrose and ascorbic acid systems are discussed in terms of the charge, size and hydrogen bonding effect
