Densities and refractive indices of normal acids from acetic acid to octanoic acid were measured in the temperature range 20-50 °C. Densities and refractive indices of oleic acid were also measured at the same temperature range. The Eykman equation was used to check the accuracy of experimental densities and refractive indices. The refractive indices obtained by using the Lorentz-Lorenz equation agree with experimental ones within an average deviation of about ±0.0005.
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.
