ABSTRACT
 

The densities and viscosities of paracetamol in aqueous b-cyclodextrin solutions with several molal concentrations m = (0.001-0.007) mol kg−1 of b-cyclodextrin were determined at T = 298.15-318.15 K under atmospheric pressure. The inclusion has been studied using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. Using experimental data apparent molar volume (φV), standard partial molar volume (0Vϕ), the slope (SV*), standard isobaric partial molar expansibility (ϕE0) and its temperature dependence (-E0PT), the viscosity B-coefficient, and solvation number (Sn) were determined. Free energies of activation of viscous flow per mole of the solvents (μ 10) and the solute (μ 20) are also calculated. Various results revealed that the solutions are characterized predominantly by solute-solvent interactions and paracetamol behaves as a long-range structure maker.
