1. Phase Diagram
Aim: To determine the critical solution temperature and composition of two
partially miscible liquids i.e. Phenol and Water.
Theory: Phenol- Water system has an upper critical solution temperature. If phase rule is
applied to phenol-water system, it is found that the system has two degrees of
freedom (invariant) as –
F = C - P +2
F=2-2+2=2
Where, C is the number of components i.e. phenol and water, P is the number of
phase which are two in the system.
Since the system is having two degrees of freedom i.e. pressure and
temperature, if. The pressure is fixed; temperature alone will define the system
completely
When phenol and water are shaken together, two layers separate, one is
the separated solution of phenol on water in phenol. As the temperature is
increased, the two phases will be mutual soluble. This miscible temperature i.e.
Critical Solution Temperature at which Phenol & Water merge into each other. If
the composition is plotted against miscible temperature (CST), a curve will be
obtained. The maxima of the curve correspond to the critical solution temperature.
Apparatus: Hard glass test tube, thermometer, stirrer etc.
Chemicals: phenol; distilled water.
Procedure: The following steps are involved in it-

1) Take thoroughly cleaned and dried nine hard glass test tubes and number them
as 1 to 9. Take 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and add 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 ml distilled water to 1
to 9 respectively in each test tube.
2) Arrange the apparatus with test tube no.1 as shown in figure 3. And stir the
mixture which will be turbid Heat the both & continuously stir the mixture at
which the turbidity disappears and a clear solution is obtained.
3) Remove the test tube from water to cool slowly, stir the mixture slowly and
note the temperature at which turbidity reappears. The mean of the above two
temperature give temperature of complete miscibility for that composition of
the mixture.
4) Similarly determine the temperature of miscibility for other solutions.

2. Solubility
Aim:- To determine solubility of benzoic acid at different temperature & determine

ΔH of dissolution process.
Theory: - When a solute is dissolved in a solvent, the heat is either absorbed or evolved.
When 1 gm mole of solute is dissolved in excess of this solvent, the further
addition of solute does not affect the change in heat.
The effect of temperature on solubility of the given solute is given by vant
Hoff’s equation.
Where, S is solubility in moles per liter and ΔH is heat of solution.

On integrating the above equation,
We have.
Log S. = + const. --------( 1).
Equation (1) is just similar to equation of straight line i.e. y = mx + c.
Thus if the graph of log S against is plotted, it is a straight line with negative
slope. From it, calculate the heat of solution i.e. ΔH. Similarly the heat is of
solution ΔH at only two different temperatures can also be calculated by using a
formula.
ΔH = 2.303R log
Where,
S1 = Solubility of solute at temp T1.
& S2 = Solubility of solute at temp T2.
Normality can be calculated by using the formula----
N=
The Solubility i.e. Strength can be calculated by using formula---------
Strength (S1) = N X Equivalent Weight of Benzoic Acid i.e. (122)
Chemicals: - Benzoic acid, NaOH, phenolphthalein, indicator, distilled, water etc.

Apparatus: - Beaker, burette, pipette, funnel, 1/10th thermometer, thermostat or water bath
etc.
Procedure:- Maintain the temperature of thermostat or water bath of 30oC, take 100 ml water
in a beaker place it in thermostat, add slowly solid benzoic acid in a beaker with
constant stirring, as solid benzoic acid remains undissolved then filter the solution
in a clear beaker & cover it with watch glass [outside of the thermostat].
Now pipette out 10 ml of this filtrate in a conical flask. Add to it 2-3 drops
of phenolphthalein indicator & then titrate this with 0.05N NaOH solution. Take
2-3 reading & record the constant burette readings. The end point is colorless to
pink.
Repeat the same procedure for the temp 40oC to 50oC to 60oC. Determine
the normality of saturated solution and solubility i.e. strength of benzoic acid in
each case.
Result: - 1. Heat of dissolution, ΔH by calculation -------------------Cal / mole

2. Heat of dissolution, ΔH by graphical method ---------------- Cal / mole

3. Partition Coefficient-I
Aim: - To study the distribution of Benzoic Acid between Benzene & Water at room
temperature & show the molecular state of Benzoic Acid in Benzene.
OR
Determine the partition coefficient of Benzoic Acid in Benzene-Water system.
Theory: - The carboxylic acid like benzoic acid, succinic acid has a tendency to dimerize in
non–polar solvents like Benzene, Toluene etc. The dimerization take place
through hydrogen bonding, therefore the distribution of the acids in water & non
polar solvent do not obey the distribution law = [K = C1 / C2]
Benzoic acid associate in benzene to give a dimer.
2 C6H5 COOH → (C6H5COOH) 2

Benzoic acid Dimer.
When a solute associate in Benzene and Water, the phase distribution or

partition coefficient (K) is given by
K = =
C org = 0.1 x B.R / 5 C aq. = .
The value of ‘n’ can be determined by hit & trial method giving different values
of n i.e. 1,2,3,4 etc. so as to obtain constants value obtains of K.
Alternatively ‘n’ value be determined by the following method from the above
equation, we have.
Log K + log Caq = 1/n log. Corg.
Log Caq = 1/n log Corg – log K
This in an equation of straight line hence a plot graph of log Caq (y - axis)
against log Corg (x - axis) must be a straight line with slope equal to 1/n & the
intercept equal to – log K.
Chemical: - Benzoic acid, 0.1N NaOH, pure benzene, phenolphthalein etc.
Apparatus: - Stoppered bottles, burette, pipette beakers, conical flasks etc.

1. Take four stoppered bottles & label them as 1,2,3,4 etc. & in each bottles
place 50 ml of distilled water & 50 ml of benzene.
2. Weigh 1,2,3,4 gm of benzoic acid & transfer these amounts to bottle numbers
1,2,3,4 respectively.
3. Shake the bottles for an hour.

4. Allow the mixture to stand for some time, two layers will be separated. The
upper layer will be benzene layer which is called organic layer & the lower
layer is of water, which is known as aqueous layer.
5. Pipette out 5 ml of benzene layer from first bottle in a conical flask and to it
add about 20 ml of distilled water, shake vigorously & titrate against 0.1 N
NaOH using phenolphthalein as an indicator. Take three constant readings for
the upper benzene layer & take their mean. Similarly titrate 5 ml of benzene
layer from other bottles using same NaOH solution.
6. Remove the lower aqueous layers of bottle into separate beaker or bottle by
separating funnel. Titrate 10 ml of aqueous layer of each bottle against 0.1 N

4. Partition Coefficient-II
Aim: To determine the equilibrium constant for the reaction KI + I2 → KI3 by
partition coefficient method.
Theory: The equilibrium constant of this reaction, KI + I2 KI3 is given as
K=
In order to determine the equilibrium constant, the active concentrations of the

products and the reactants i.e. KI3, KI and I2 must be determined. To do it, we
make use of the distribution coefficient of iodine in carbon tetra chloride and
water. IF water is added to a solution of iodine in carbon tetra chloride iodine will
distribute itself in both the aqueous and CCl4 (Organic) layers after some time.
The distribution coefficient (Kd) of iodine between CCl4 and water may be written
as Kd =
By the knowledge of Kd (I2), concentration of Iodine [I2] in water layer may be

calculated if concentration of [I2] in the CCl4 layer is known. This will be made
use of in finding the equilibrium constant K for the reaction KI + I 2 KI3 as
given above.
Apparatus: Glass stoppered bottles, pipettes, burette, conical flasks, thermostat etc.
Chemicals: Iodine, CCl4, KI, Na2S2O3 and distilled water etc.

40% & 50% respectively, to these bottles make the volume 50 ml by adding
CCl4 i.e. add 20 ml, 10 ml & 0 ml of CCl4 to 30% , 40% & 50% bottle
respectively.
3) Now add 50ml of water to each bottle to make volume 100 ml. Shake

4) Separate two layers by using the separating funnel.

5) Pipette out 10 ml of water layer of bottle 1 and titrate it against 0.01 N
thiosulphate (hypo) solution using starch as an indicator repeat the same for
other water layers.
6) Now, pipette out 10 ml of CCl4 layer of bottle 1 and titrate it against 0.05 N
thiosulphate (hypo) solution using starch as an indicator. Repeat the same for
other CCl4 layers.
7) Similar experiment is performed using 0.1N solution of KI in place of water
and prepares 30%, 40% and 50% solution as above.
8) The I2 in two layers / is titrate i.e. KI layer and CCl4 layer against 0.05N
thiosulphate , (hypo) solution using starch solution as an indicator
9) The concentration of I2 in KI & CCl4 layers can be calculated and substituting

5. Viscosity
Aim: - To determine the molecular weight of polymer using its solution of different
concentration by viscosity measurements.
Theory: - the viscosity of a high polymer solution is related to the molecular weight of the
Polymer by the Staudinger equation as follows.
[ ] = KMa
Where [ ] is the intrinsic viscosity and M is the average molecular weight of the
polymer, K and ‘a’ are the constants for given solvent polymer system.
If the absolute viscosity of the solution is and that of the solvent is ,
the relative viscosity is given by .

If the times of flow for solution and solvents are t and t o, then
The densities of solution and solvents are very close, since the polymer
solutions used in the experiment are very dilute, their densities will be
approximately equal to that of solvent.
Relative viscosity,
The specific Viscosity,

Then the reduced viscosity will be given by
Where, C is the concentration of polymer in gm/100 ml of solvent.

Intrinsic viscosity [ ] which is related the molecular weight of polymer
can be obtained by ploting against concentration C, a straight line will be

obtained which on extrapolation to C = O; the intercept is the intrinsic viscosity.
Thus the molecular weight of a polymer can be determined from
viscometric measurements using Schrodinger equation, provided K and a
are known. [ ] = K Ma

6. Chemical Kinetics
Aim:- To investigate the kinetics of iodination of acetone.
Theory:- Iodine reacts with aqueous acetone in presence of acid ( which acts as catalyst) to
form mono iodoacetone.
CH3COCH3 + I2 CH3COCH2I + HI.
The reaction is catalyzed by hydrogen ions and rate of reaction found to be
Independent of iodine concentration.
Rate = = K [Acetone] [Acid (H+)]

If concentration of acetone & acid is constant on these are in excess, rate const.
K is const. It means observed rate d [I2] /dt is independent of iodine concentration
& the reaction is said to be zero order with respect to I2 concentration.
It is interesting to see mechanism which simply keto form converts into
enol form in presence of H+ ions.
It reacts with water molecule with removed of proton
How iodine reacts with these enol form & converts into acetonlyl iodine.
The free iodine is then titrated against standard sodium thiosulphate solution
using starch as an indicator.
The reaction in which keto form is converted to enol is slow and rate
determining step, hence in this reaction kinetics and order of reaction is zero with
respect to iodine (I2).
Apparatus: - Burette, Pipettes, Conical flasks, Stoppered bottles, Stopwatch, Measuring
cylinder etc.

2. Keep these bottles in water bath to attain the same (uniform) temperature.
Also place the solution of 0.1 M I2 solution in the same water bath to attain
the bath temperature.
3. Fill the burette with 0.01 Na2S2O3 solution
4. Pipette out 10 ml 1 M sodium acetate solution (or 1 M NaHCO3 solution) to
each of the six or seven clean conical flasks to quench the reaction before the
titration.
5. After the solutions in water bath have reached a same temperature of bath (15-
20 minutes), transfer 10 ml of 0.1 M I2 solution by means of pipette to bottle
number 1 and start the stopwatch. Mix the contents well with gentle stirring,
wait for three minutes.
6. After three minute pipette out 10 ml of reaction mixture from bottle number 1
and transfer in a conical flask which already containing 10 ml of sodium
acetate ( or sodium bicarbonate) solution. Add about 4-6 drops of starch
indicator & titrate the unconsumed Iodine in the reaction against Na2S2O3
7. Shake the reaction mixture from time to time. Repeat the titration using 10 ml
of reaction mixture after successive intervals of 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 minutes
from time of mixing.
8. Similarly add 15, 20 & 10 ml of iodine solution successively in bottle No. 2, 3
and 4 and repeat the procedure as mentioned above.
Hints: - 1. Shake the reaction mixture time to time.
2. Keep the reaction mixture closely stoppered.
3. Keep the reaction mixture in the water bath,
4. During titration add 2-3 drops of starch solution (indicator) only near
the end point. (This is a stage during the addition of 0.01 Na2S2O3
solutions to a reaction mixture when the iodine color fades to yellow.)

Graph:- Plot a graph of titrant volume (Burette Reading) against time, for these four sets.
These plots will be straight lines slopping down with constant value of slopes (K).
The straightness of lines indicates a

constant slope and constant rate of
the reaction. The reactant changing
concentration significantly is in case
B. R. of iodine and since the rate of the

7. Heat of Naturalization
Aim: To determine the heat of neutralization of HCl and NaOH using calorimeter.
Theory:
Heat of neutralization is defined as the amount of heat evolved when one gram
equivalent of as acid neutralizes one gram equivalent of base in dilute solution.
The heat of neutralization is actively the heat given out in the union of H+
and OH-along with the heat accompanying dissociation of acid or base.
HCl H+ + Cl-
NaOH Na+ + OH-
Na+ + OH- + H+ + Cl- Na+ + Cl- + H2O
H+ + OH- H2O – 13.7 Kcals
So heat of neutralization can be regarded as consisting of combination of
hydrogen and hydroxide ion to form unionized water.
Apparatus: Calorimeter, pipette, beaker, thermometer etc.

for same time so that water attains the room temperature. Note this
temperature ( t1oc)
2) Take another 50 ml of distilled water in beaker and heat it to a temperature of
about 15oc above the room temperature. Note the temperature ( t 2oc)
3) Pout immediately the hot water into the calorimeter containing cold water, stir
the mixture. The temperature of cold water gradually rises Note the maximum

4) Calculate water equivalent W of the calorimeter,
II) Determination Heat of neutralization of HCl by NaOH:
1) Prepare exactly 0.25N HCl and 0.25 N NaOH solutions in distilled water by
quantitative method. Standardize these solutions by usual procedure.

calorimeter. Note down the temperature for every minute for about 5 minute
with constant stirring; say i.e. t NaOHoc
3) Take 50 ml of 0.25 HCl solutions in a beaker. Note down the temperature for
every minute for about 5 minutes with constant stirring say i.e. t HCloc
4) Take the mean temperature of HCl and NaOH solution i.e. t 4oc
5) Now pour the acid solution immediately into the base in calorimeter and stir it
constantly. Note the exact time of mixing and record the temperature for every
minute for about 7-10 minutes. After every minute the temperature falls
uniformly.
6) After the experiment, test the mixture with a drop of phenolphthalein to check
whether the acid base has been completely neutralized.
7) Since in the neutralization process heat is evolved, the temperature first rises
rapidly, then slowly begins to fall due to the heat loses by radiation. Due to
the loss of heat the highest temperature recorded will be slightly less than the
obtained, if no losses of heat took place. A temperature correction is therefore
necessary to get correct rise in temperature, which can be done as follows:
A temperature correction:
Plot the temperature against time and draw the graph as shown in fig. in this fig. the
temperature of acid and base are shown to be rising slowly, but the reverse may also be found.
Draw a perpendicular at the time of mixing (say of minute). The points at which the
perpendicular meets the straight lines of acid and alkali will give the temperature t 4 and t4 of the
acid and alkali at the time of mixing Draw a straight line through points where the temperature
begins to fall regularly. Extrapolate the line back to cut the perpendicular. The point of
intersection given the correct highest temperature t 5, which would have been obtained if no loss
of heat occurred due to radiation

2) Volume of 0.25N NaOH = V4 = 50ml
3) Mean temperature recorded for HCl & NaOH = t4oc = _____ oc

Calculations:
I) Determination of water equivalent (W) :
Heat evolved or given out by hot water = Heat gained or absorbed by cold water +
Heat gained or absorbed by calorimeter
(mass x sp. Heat x fall in temperature) =) mass x sp. heat rise in temperature) +
(water equivalent rise in temperature)
Mass = volume X density
For water Density & specific heat is considered as unity i.e. 1,
Hence volume of water = mass therefore,
50(t2-t3) = 50(t3-t1) + W (t3-t1)
W= cal.
Where, W is water equivalent of calorimeter.
II) Determination of Heat of neutralization:
If Q is the amount of heat evolved during the reaction, then we have.
[Heat evolved during the reaction] = [Heat gained or absorbed by NaOH solution]
+ [Heat gained or absorbed by HCl solution] + [Heat gained or a absorbed by
calorimeter]
Q = (volume X rise in temp. of NaOH) + (volume of HCl + rise in temp) + (water
equivalent C rise in temp)
Q = 50 (t5 – t4) + 50 (t5-t4) + W (t5-t4)
Q = (50+50+W) (t 5-t4)
Q = (100 + W) (t 5-t4)
The Q cals of heat evolved when 0.25N HCl i.e. 1/16 gm equivalent of mole in
neutralized by equal amount of NaOH.
Result: The heat of neutralization of an acid HCl and base NaOH = ____ calories.

Theory :- Electrical conductivity depends upon the number of ions present & then
ionic mobility’s, when an acid in titrated with NaOH the conductance will
go on changing & when the acid is just neutralized i.e. at the equivalence
point, the solution will contain only NaOH. When excess of NaOH added
to the solution it will contain NaCl + NaOH. The conductance will go on
increasing it is due to produce of free OH- ions of NaOH.
Thus on plotting a graph of conductance versus volume of titrate (volume
of NaOH) added two branches of straight lines may be obtained. The
point of intersection of two lines will give end point or equivalence point.

. + Na+OH- CH3COO-Na+ + H+OH-

Weak Acid Strong Base Salt Water.
It is titration of weak acid with strong base. The salt obtained sodium
acetate is a strong electrolyte at the beginning of the titration. The acid
solution has low conductivity because acetic acid is weak acid & may not
dissociate completely therefore there are less H + ions available to
contribute the conductivity value.
When small amount of NaOH is added to the acetic acid solution
the conductivity decrease initially & then increases slowly by further
addition of NaOH. At the point the solution will contain only sodium ions
& acetate ions [CH3COO-] after end point conductivity rises rapidly
because of addition of strong alkali (NaOH).

5. Polarimeter
Aim:- To determine the specific rotation and concentration of given cane sugar
solution by Polarimeter.
Theory:- The apparatus consist of two nickel prism mounted on the axis of instrument, the
first prism known as Polarizer which is fixed & second prism known as Analyser
which can be rotated about the axis of the instrument. In between these two nickel
prisms a tube is placed. This tube is used for keeping the sugar solution whose
specific rotation is to be determined. Now when a beam of monochromatic light is
passed through the tube without containing the liquid, light gets polarized by the
first nickel prism & the come on the second prism which is rotated slowly as to
cut out light completely. The reading at this point of the scale corresponds to zero
reading. If, now glass tube containing optically active liquid is placed between
these prisms is rotated plane of polarize light to a certain angle & hence to get
dark field of view again, the analyzer will have to be rotated through the same
angle, the angle is measured with the help of graduated scale.
The angle of rotation caused by an optically active compound depends
upon the path length through which the light passes, wavelength of the light used,
temperature, nature of the solvent and the concentration of the solution. When all
the factors except concentration are kept constant, the angle of rotation depends
on the only concentration. As concentration increases, the angle of rotation
increases. Therefore a calibration curve can be prepared by plotting the the angle
of rotation against concentration of a series of solutions. From this curve, the
concentration of unknown solution can be determined by measuring its angle of
rotation.
Apparatus:- Polarimeter, Sodium lamp, Standard flask, Beakers, Funnel etc.
Chemicals: Pure sample of cane sugar, Distilled water etc.
Procedure:-
I) Determination of zero point
1. Clean the polarimeter tube with chromic acid then with distilled water and
remove any air bubble in the tube is driven into the bulb provided in the
middle of the tube. Tightly fit with metal cap.
2. Dry the exposed surface of the tube and its cap and place it in the instrument
between the polarizer and analyzer till the field of view are nearly matched.
Now with the help of the fine adjustment, set the analyzer for best matching.
When two halves match they have a grey color. Record the reading of the
scale as zero reading, for both the Vernier’s on the scale (1800 apart) to
remove the error. Take several readings of the zero position and take the

average of these readings. This zero reading must be added to or subtracted
from the readings of the optically active substances as the case requires.
II) Determination of angle of rotation
1. Weigh accurately 20 gm of pure cane sugar crystals [dextrose] on a clean

watch glass. Dissolve it in 100 ml of distilled water. This will be 20% sugar
solution. If this 20% prepared sugar solution is not clear or turbid then filters
it with filter paper. Use this solution as a stock solution [20% conc. Sugar
solution].
2. From this stock solution prepare 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%, 12% and 14%
percentage of sugar solution by using this stock solution and distilled water
having total volume of 25 or 50 ml as shown in observation table.
3. Rinse the polarimeter tube with20% solution and fill up with it and remove
any bubble in the tube.
4. Place the tube in the Polarimeter.
5. Rotate the analyzer to get uniform illumination of both the halves in the field
of view. Note the reading. Now add or subtract the zero reading as required.
Then take average of these two angles of rotation.
6. Similarly measure the angle of rotation for other solutions and also for given
unknown solution of cane sugar.
7. Plot the graph between angle of rotation (on Y-Axis) and the concentration
(on X-Axis). It will be straight line.

In the above equation if [MR = [HMR] then equation reduces to, pK = pH

From the above consideration, the determination of pK involves the following steps-
Both HMR and MR- exhibit strong absorption peaks in the visible portion of electro-
magnetic spectrum. A series of solutions of known pH (between 2 to 10) are prepared and equal
amount of methyl red is added to each of these solutions. The color intensity of indicator in an
aqueous solution depends upon the degree of dissociation which is dependent upon pH of the
medium. The solution of lower pH values exhibit red color to the solution and those to higher pH
shows yellow color. Some solutions, having in between these pH values, shows intermediate
color between red and yellow. The absorbances of the solutions are determined as a function of
pH at appropriate wavelength. The of inflection represent [MR- ] = [HMR] and the pH at this
point is pK. The dissociation constant (K) of the indicator can be determined using relation
pK= -log K.
Apparatus – Colorimeter with cell, PH- meter, hard test tubes, standard flasks, breakers etc.
Chemical – Methyl Red solution (Dissolve 20 mg of methyl red in 60 ml of ethanol and dilute to
100 ml by distilled water), 0.2 M Na2HPO4 , 0.1 M citric acid solution, distilled water etc.
Procedure: Part I: Preparation of solutions:

1. Take 12 flasks of about 50 ml capacity and label them from 1 to 12.
2. Take two burettes of 50 ml capacity and fill them by 0.2 M NaHPO 4 and 0.1 Citric acid
solution.
3. Withdraw following volumes of NaHPO4 and Citric acid solutions in the above flasks to
get desired buffer solutions.

4. Take 12 hard glass test tubes and label them from 1 to 12. From the above prepared
buffer solutions, withdraw 10 ml from each and place in respective test tube.
5. Add 1 ml of indicator (with a calibrated pipette or micro burette) in each of the solution
in the test tubes and shake well.
Part II: Determination of pH of buffer solutions:
1. Standardize the pH meter using 0.05 M potassium hydrogen phthalate solution at pH=4.
2. Take buffer from flask no. 1 in a beaker so that the pH electrode is completely immersed
into the solution.
3. Repeat the same procedure for remaining solutions. Record these readings as observed
pH of the solutions.
Part III: Determination of Absorbance or Optical density:
1. Determine the λ Max value by using dense colored solution. For methyl red indicator
blue-green filter (490-500 nm) can be used.
2. Place the appropriate filter corresponding to λ Max value in the filter compartment.
3. Take the reference (blank) solution [buffer solution 1 without methyl red] in the cuvette,
clean it from outside and insert it into sample compartment.
4. Adjust meter reading to 100% transmittance with the help of course and fine set knobs.
5. Remove cuvette, wash it with distilled water. Put the solution from test-tube no. 1 in it,
clean it from outside and insert it into the sample compartment. Read the absorbance and
% transmittance of the solution on the meter scale.
6. Repeat the same for remaining solutions to record their absorbance and % transmittance
values.

8. Refractometer
Aim :- To determine the specific refractivity’s of the given liquid A and B
& determine percentage composition of the mixture C of liquid A and B.
Theory:- A ray of monochromatic light passing from one medium into another is refracted
or bent towards or away from the normal depending upon the optical nature of the
two media.
According to Snell’s law,
Refractive Index (η) = sin i / sin r
The refractive index depends upon the temperature, the chemical nature of the
substance and the wave length of light. If the second medium is solution,
refractive index also depends upon the concentration of the solution. So it can be
used to identify a pure substance and to determine the composition of
homogeneous transparent binary mixture.
Specific and molar refraction:
According to Gladstone and Dale,
η – 1 / d = constant (r)
Where η is the refractive index of the liquid, d is the density and r is constant.
But according to Lorentz and Lorentz,
η2 – 1 / η2 + 2 x 1/ d = Constant ( r )
gives a better constant. The value of this constant r is termed the specific
refraction of the liquid and is characteristic property of the liquid.
The molecular refractivity or molar refractivity ( R ) is given by
expression –
R = η – 1 / d x M ( According to Gladstone and Dale )
and
R = η2 – 1 / η2 + 2 x 1/ x M / d (According to Lorentz and Lorentz)
Where, M = Molecular weight of the substance.
Mixture Law:- The mixture law is given by the formula-
rx x 100 = rA P + rB ( 100 – P )
Where rx = Specific refractivity of the mixture A and B
rA = Specific refractivity of pure liquid A
rB = Specific refractivity of pure liquid B
PA = Percentage of A in the mixture
Here , PA = 100 (rx - rB ) / (rA - rB )
Material: Abbe refractometer, dropper, cotton wool, specific gravity bottle, alcohol.
Liquid A: pure liquid Mixture D: 25% A

Liquid B: pure liquid Mixture E: 40% A
Liquid C: unknown percentage composition Mixture F: 60% A
Procedure:
1. Open the prism box by realizing the lock nut and clean gently both prism faces, with
a cotton plug moistened with acetone, so that the greasy matter present on the faces
will be removed.
2. By means of dropper, place few drops of liquid on the surface of lower prism and
close the box. A film of liquid will thus be enclosed between the two prisms.
3. Focus the cross wire of the telescope by rotating the eyepiece and adjust the mirror so
as to get the maximum illumination.
4. Move the prism box backward and forward till the field of vision becomes partly light
and partly dark. Turn the compensator screw and adjust the compensator until the
colored fringes’ in the field of vision disappear and a sharp boundary line is obtained.
5. Now rotate the prism box until sharp edge coincides with intersection of the cross
wire in the telescope. Read the refractive index directly on the scale, with accuracy.
Repeat the readings at least three times and take mean value.
6. Repeat the above procedure for all liquids one after another.
Determination of density with the help of specific gravity bottle:
Determine the density of all the liquids by using specific gravity bottle with distilled
water as the reference liquid.
Observation: Weight of empty specific gravity bottle (Y) = ………..gm
