A simple empirical function for density computation using the measured refractive index of some selected hydrocarbons

Abstract: Refractive index and density data of gaseous and liquid ethane, propane, n-butane, n-pentane, and liquid n-hexane were fitted to an empirical expression of the Lorentz–Lorenz function proposed by Eisenberg, Reisler, and Minton for application to liquids. This expression takes into account the dependency of the electronic polarizability ?e on density and temperature. This paper presents a way of applying this expression to liquids and gases to compute the density of hydrocarbons with an uncertainty Δρ/ρ?±0.1%.

“…The refractive index of the ethane/propane mixture, needed for calculation of the scattering vector, was determined from experimental density measurements and an empirical Lorentz-Lorenz relationship (12). Incorporating the errors from the viscosity and refractive index calculations into the Stokes-Einstein relation results in a maximum error in the hydrodynamic radius of approximately 5%.…”
