Refractive index and molar refractivity of benzonitrile, chlorobenzene, benzyl chloride and benzyl alcohol with benzene at T = 298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K

Abstract

Densities and refractive indices were measured for the binary liquid mixtures formed by benzonitrile, chlorobenzene, benzyl chloride, and benzyl alcohol with benzene at (T = 298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K) and atmospheric pressure over the whole concentration range. The Lorentz–Lorentz mixing rule, the Ramaswami and Anbananthan model, and the model devised by Glinski were used to study the refractive index and molar refractivity. These results have been discussed to study the type of mixing behavior between the mixing molecules. The measured data were fitted to the Redlich–Kister polynomial relation to estimate the binary coefficients and standard errors. Furthermore, the McAllister multibody interaction model is used to correlate the binary refractive index with the experimental findings. It is observed that molar refractivity, molecular interaction, and association constant can be better understood from these models.
