The physicochemical behaviour of homoeopathic dilutions of ammonium carbonicum has been studied from the measurements of the densities, r, ultrasonic speeds, u and viscosities, h of pure ethanol control and 32 formulations of potencies of ammonium carbonicum ranging from 1C to 100C (with intervals of 2C up to 30C and thereafter with intervals of 10C up to 100C) at six different temperatures and atmospheric pressure. Various physicochemical properties, viz., the isentropic compressibilities, ks, intermolecular free length, Lf, pseudo-Grüneisen parameter, G, deviations in isentropic compressibility, Dks, deviations in intermolecular free length, DLf, deviation in pseudo-Grüneisen parameter, DG and deviations in viscosity, Dh have been calculated. The variations of these properties with potency show strange behaviour at certain potencies. The results have been qualitatively discussed in terms of interactions of these ammonium carbonicum homoeopathic formulations. The results show that even in high dilutions (» 70C) the molecules of ammonium carbonicum may be present in these homoeopathic formulations.
