The acoustic nonlinear parameter B/A is strongly structure sensitive as it was shown in [Lesnyanskii et al. Sov Phys Acous.(1974), 20, p.39]. The analysis of structural properties of electrolyte and nonelectrolyte solutions can be carried out with united positions using such microscopic parameter as a packing coefficient (Y). The concentration dependence of Y and the interrelation between Y and B/A was deduced for ideal and close to ideal solutions (regular, isochoric and athermal). In the framework of thermodynamic approach the interrelation between the relative deviation of packing coefficient from additive concentration rule (Ye/Yid) and B/A was deduced. The values of parameters (Ye/Yid and derivative Ye with respect to pressure) are calculated from offered method [Balankina E.S. Proceeding of XI Session of the Russian Acoustic Society, Moscow, 2001 (http://www.akin.ru/RAO/sess11)] using volumetric-elastic properties of solutions. Using these parameters, the nonlinear acoustic parameter was calculated for solutions with different types of intermolecular interactions. The calculated values and experimental values of B/A are in a good agreement within experimental error. From analysis it follows the important role of geometrical packing effects on B/A for aqueous and nonaqueous nonelectrolyte solutions, weak electrolyte solutions and molten salt mixtures. The work was supported by 6 competition-expert of young scientist RAS (grant N 175)
