Intermolecular Forces of Sugars in Water

Apparent molar volume and viscosities of fructose, glucose, mannose, and sucrose have been measured in dilute aqueous solution, concentration range 0.028–0.336 M at 293 K. The viscosity coefficient B and A were calculated from the viscosity data using the Jones-Dole equation for all the studied sugars. The data were also analysed for Stauarding equation. The structure making behavior was obtained for all the sugars. A modified Jone-Dole equation was proposed by using ratio of mole fractions of solute and solvent in place of concentrations of solute.
