Density and viscosity measurements are reported for aqueous solutions of the potassium salt of penicillin-G atdifferent temperatures (293.15 K to 308.15 K) and at ambient pressure. The density data are used to obtainapparent molar volumes of the potassium salt of penicillin-G (PGK). Also, the coefficient of thermal expansionand apparent molar expansivity data has been obtained using the density data at different temperatures. Therelative viscosities (r) and the viscosity A, B, and D coefficients in the Jones-Dole equation r = 1 + Ac1/2 +Bc + Dc2, with c = concentration of the potassium salt of penicillin-G in aqueous solutions (0.005 mol·dm-3 to0.12 mol·dm-3), have been determined. The values of the B and D coefficients were found to be high comparedto simple 1:1 electrolytes. The values of the A coefficient do not show any trend as a function of temperature;however, the B coefficient decreases with an increase in temperature. The results are explained in terms ofhydrophobic hydration of the anion and hydrophobic interactions between penicillin-G molecules in the premicellarregion.
