Kerr Constant Measurement of Water– Acetone System and Molecular Structure in Solution

R. K. Khanna, Geeta Garg

Abstract :

Water-Acetone is very interesting but complex system. The Kerr constant for acetone-water mixture was measured at the wavelength of 632.8 nm using a pulsed electric field technique. A deviation from the pure additivity of the Kerr constant was observed for the mixture. This non-additive behaviour is discussed in terms of the refractive index, dielectric constant and density results of the solution. A Kerr effect result of this binary liquid system reveals the possibility of dihydroxy structure in aqueous acetone. Anomalous behaviour of refractive index in this system also indicates the formation of complex structure.
