Abstract
Measurements of dielectric constants, ε, and refractive indices, n, have been made for binary liquid mixtures of acetone with tetrachloroethylene (CCl2CCl2), trichloroethylene (CHCĺCCl2), methylene chloride (CH2Cl2), 1,2-dichloroethane (CH2ClCH2Cl) and cyclohexane (c-C6H12) at 303.15 K. Values of the quantity Δε, which refers to the deviations of experimental values of the dielectric constants of the mixtures from values arising from the law of the ideal-volume-fraction mixtures, have been calculated. The positive values of Δε for acetone + CH2ClCH2Cl and acetone + CH2Cl2 and very slightly negative values of Δε for acetone + CHClCCl2 are attributed to the formation of molecular complexes of acetone with CH2ClCH2Cl, CH2Cl2 and CHClCCl2. The values of the equilibrium constant, Kf, for the formation of 1:1 complexes of acetone with CH2ClCH2Cl, CH2Cl2 and CHClCCl2 have also been calculated, using the dielectric-constant data. The values of the apparent dipole moments µapp of acetone at various mole fractions in the solvents c-C6H12 and CCl2CCl2 have also been calculated. The values of µ2 app suggest that there exists a specific interaction between acetone and CCl2CCl2.
