Abstract

Prediction of refractive indices of liquid mixtures is essential for the determination of composition of liquid mixtures. Refractive index, excess refractive index etc are used to explain the nature of solute -solvent interactions. The refractive index along with density values of mixtures are used to test the accuracy of available refractive index mixing relationships in predicting refractive index data, for such study mixing rules of Lorentz-Lorenz; Gladstone-Dale, Wiener, Heller and Arago-Biot are most frequently employed.
