Extrapolation formulas were derived for determination of the molar volume of a solute at infinite dilution. This quantity is stable to solvent replacement and additive with respect to increments of substituents in polysubstituted benzenes. The molar polarization and molar Kerr constant of a solute can be expressed through the molar volumes of the solute at infinite dilution and of the solvent. Replacement of the molar volume in the calculation formulas by the quantity calculated by the additive scheme considerably reduces the experimental time required for determining the dipole moments and Kerr constants of compounds in solution.Partial molar volumes of components are the simplest but important characteristics of liquid solutions, furnishing information on their properties [2]. Of particular interest is the molar volume of a solute extrapolated to infinite dilution, at which the solute molecules do not interact with each other and interact only with the solvent. Division of this quantity by the Avogadro number gives the molecular volume, i.e., the volume of the cavity occupied by a particle in the dynamic structure of the solvent. The molecular volume allows certain conclusions on the features of the solvation shell [2, 3] and, as will be shown in the subsequent papers, on the solute steric structure.The molar volumes of molecules and ions at infinite dilution were determined in numerous papers, but the lack of convenient extrapolation formulas decreasing the random experimental errors apparently complicates the calculations. At the same time, extrapolation formulas have been well developed for determining such partial quantities at infinite dilution as polarization [4] and Kerr constant [5].In this context, our goal was to derive extrapolation formulas for determining the molar volume of a solute at infinite dilution and to reveal correlations of this quantity with the molar polarization and molar Kerr ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ 1 For communication XLVII, see [1].constant of the solute. It was also interesting to find whether such molar volume is additive with respect to substituents in molecules, like, e.g., molar refraction, dipole moment, or polarizability tensor. The positive answer we obtained is demonstrated with a wide range of mono-and polysubstituted benzene derivatives.The solution molar volume V 12 is additive with respect to the molar volumes of the solvent V 1 and solute V 2 in accordance with their mole fractions 1 3 x and x:where V 12 = M 12 /r 12 ; M 12 is the mean molar weight of the solution, M 12 = M 1 (1 -x) + M 2 x, M 1 and M 2 are the molar weights of the solvent and solute, respectively; r 12 is the solution density; V 1 = M 1 /r 1 is the solvent molar volume; and r 1 is the solvent density. From formula (1), the molar volume V 2 extrapolated to the infinite dilution, E V 2 , can be expressed by formula (2):Apparently, the limit in formula (2) can be replaced by the derivative in the point x = 0 [formula (3)]:
