ABSTRACT
In this present work, a thermophysical property characterization of aqueous solution of tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (TRIS), a biological buffer, was done. The investigated properties were refractive index, density, and electrolytic conductivity. These properties were measured for temperatures up to 353.15 K (at normal atmospheric condition) and for the entire composition range where TRIS is still soluble in water. The measured properties were reported as functions of temperature and composition. A modified form of the Vogel Tamman Fulcher equation which leads to an Arrhenius-type asymptotic exponential function was used to generally correlate the temperature and compositional dependence of the considered properties and satisfactory results were obtained.
