We study here the ultrasonic frequencies of the q[110] mode of NH4Cl, which we have correlated to the volume changes for the first-order and the tricritical phase transitions in this crystal. We calculated the ultrasonic frequencies of this mode by means of our correlations for the pressures of 0, 0.5 and 0.95 kbar in the first order, and for 1.5 kbar in the tricritical phase regions in NH4Cl using the observed data.
