“…Wendt and Costing (11) assumed that the relation between refractive index and concentration for aqueous lactamide solutions up to 2M could be expressed by a fourth-degree equation, and they determined the constants in the equation from the observed refractive increments of Gouy measurements. Similarly, the power series equation, which is extended until it represents the data adequately, was assumed to be applicable to phosphoric acid solutions = b0+ b¡x + b2x2 + b3x3 + ...…”
