Abstract
The dielectric behavior of a polar substance dissolved in a nonpolar liquid is studied by treating the system of induced dipoles as a dielectric continuum, in which the permanent dipoles of the solute are embedded. The interaction between permanent dipoles (consisting of an electrostatic plus a short range potential energy) is explicitly introduced into a linearized Boltzmann equation to study the correlation between dipoles at a given temperature. The theory is applied to a solution of chlorobenzene in benzene and of acetone in carbon tetrachloride: In both cases the experimental data are in good agreement with the behavior predicted by the theory.
