Effects of Ultrasound on the Electrolytic Conductivity of Simple Halide Salts
Ultrasound irradiation of aqueous solutions of KCl, LiCl and KI causes an increase in their conductivity (measured with AC at 1000 Hz), which disappear as soon as ultrasound irradiation is switched off. The phenomenon is explained in terms of collapse of cavitational bubbles created by ultrasound in the solution with release of energy under the form of shock waves and heat.
