The density and ultrasonic velocity measurements were made for magnesium chloride (MgCl2), calcium chloride (CaCl2) and strontium chloride (SrCl2) in 2% fructose prepared in 0.01m aqueous NaCl at temperatures 303.15, 308.15, 313.15 and 318.15K. The measured parameters were then used to calculate various thermodynamic and acoustic parameters such as apparent molar volume (), limiting apparent molar volume ( ), limiting apparent molar volume expansibility ( ), adiabatic compressibility (), intermolecular free length ( ), relaxation time and Gibb’s free energy of activation for relaxation process . The results have been discussed in terms of ion-solvent, ion-ion interactions. Further structure making/breaking behaviour of MgCl2, CaCl2 and SrCl2 has been discussed and structure breaking behaviour of these metal chlorides in 2% fructose in 0.01m aqueous NaCl has been reported.
