Dielectric Characteristics Studies of Esters (Amyl Acetate, Isoamyl Acetate) with Solvents (Carbon Tetrachloride, Benzene, Acetone)

Abstract

The Kirkwood correlation factor (g) of binary mixtures of amyl acetate and isoamyl acetate with in benzene, carbon tetrachloride and acetone were obtained from a measurement of dielectric constant, density and refractive index at 301 K. The fluid structure of amyl acetate and isoamyl acetate is discussed. In amyl acetate and isoamyl acetate in carbon tetrachloride, benzene and acetone, a dimeric linear chain with the individual dipoles more or less parallel orientation is preferred. In amyl acetate, with increase of concentration, the value of g tending to unity indicates the parallel orientation.
