Can you advised me how could I calculate dielectric constant of a mixture of solvent where lets say aquas part and alchohol part ratio I am varying time to time at a particular temp.
According to Poole, C.F.; Poole, S.K. Chromatography Today; Elsevier: Amsterdam,1991, the polarity index P’ of a mixed mobile phase is the arithmetic average of the solvent polarity index weighting factor adjusted according to the volume fraction of each solvent as is given by
P’= ∑iP’i ∅i
where P’i is the polarity index weighting factor of solvent i and ∅i is the volume fraction of solvent i. For example, for a binary solvent mixture containing 95% dichloromethane and 5% methanol, the polarity index of the mixed solvent is calculated as follows:
P'=(4.29)(0.95)+(5.10)(0.05)=4.33
You may search solvent polarity index, if you dont have any.
