Liquids irradiated with high-intensity ultrasound undergo acoustic cavitationsthe formation, growth, and implosive collapse of bubbles. The energy stored during the growth of the bubble in the rarefaction phase of the acoustic field is released when the bubble violently collapses in the compression phase of the acoustic field, as acoustic noise, shock waves, chemical reactions, and the emission of light (sonoluminescence, SL). 1 This violent collapse is predicted to generate a hot spot of thousands of Kelvin within the bubble, 1-5 but, to date, there have been only a limited number of experimental measurements of the temperature of this hot spot. 6-10 Although the SL of water has been studied for more than 50 years, 11-13 the effective hot spot temperature during aqueous cavitation remains unresolved. Given the importance of aqueous cavitation (sonography and bioeffects of ultrasound, sonochemical remediation of aqueous pollutants, synthetic applications of sonochemistry, etc. 14), we decided to apply our previous spectroscopic analysis of SL of nonaqueous liquids to aqueous solutions doped with small amounts of hydrocarbons. We have collected and analyzed excited-state C2 MBSL (multibubble sonoluminescence, light emission from the clouds of cavitating bubbles) spectra from mixtures of organic liquids in water at 20 kHz and find an effective emission temperature of 4300 (200 K.To probe the conditions inside cavitation bubbles in water, the first requirement was to find substrates that would yield sufficiently intense C2 emission for analysis. In addition, the substrate must lead to emission at very low concentrations so as not to change the motion of the bubble from that experienced in pure water. To this end, MBSL spectra were collected for dilute aqueous solutions of the following organic substrates as precursors for C2 formation: 15 pentane, cyclohexane, benzene, ethanol, tert-butyl alcohol, and acetone. All of the substrates led to weak C2
