After a general discussion of the relations between molecular orientation and the entropy of mixing, a statistical theory is developed for non-co-Dperative orientation of the solvent molecules. The thermodynamic properties derived are in qualitative agreement with thz experimental results for the system, chloroform + acetone. It is shown that the assumptions of the calculation are approximately fulfilled here and that quantitatively satisfactory agreement can be obtained by using reasonable values of the parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
