Refractive indices () and densities (r) of water (W) + n-butylamine (NBA), + sec-butylamine (SBA) and + tert-butylamine (TBA) systems had been measured in the whole range of composition at 303.15 K, from which deviation in refractive index (DnD ) molar refraction (Rm) and excess molar refraction () had been evaluated. All of the derived properties were fitted to appropriate polynomials. DnD were fitted to the Redlich-Kister polynomial equation. Values of DnD were all positive and were all negative which were attributed to cross hydrogen bonding, specific interactions as well as interstitial accommodation effect. A comparative study of Lorentz-Lorenz (L-L), Weiner (W), Heller (H), Gladstone-Dale (G-D), Arago-Biot (A-B), Eykman (Eyk), Newton (Nw), Eyring-John (E-J) and Oster (Os) relations for determining the refractive index of a liquid had been carried out to test their validity for the three binaries over the entire mole fraction range of butylamines at 303.15 K.
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.
