Refractormetery
Aim:-
To determine
the specific and molar refractivity of pure organic liquids by Abbe’s refractor
meter.
Apparatus:-
Abbe’s Refractor meter, Dropper, cotton, specific
gravity bottle.
Chemicals: - Benzene, Acetone, Carbon tetrachloride.
Theory:
-
When a beam of light passes from one medium to
another it suffers refraction i.e. changes its direction. If passes from a less
dense (Air) to a more dense medium (liquid) it refracts towards the normal.
The refractive index of the second medium with
respect to the first medium is given by the formula.
Sini/sinr= pi = Refractive index.
Specific refractivity is determined by
r=n2-1/n2+2 *1/d.
r=Specific refractivity.
d=Density of liquid.
m= molecular weight of the medium.
Procedure:-
1) Refractometer
on the table near a window so that sufficient light-reactive to the prism.
2) Open
the prism box by refreshing the lock net clean the faces of both prisms with
the help of cotton dipped in acetone allow the surface to dry up.
3) Place
few drops of liquid under examination carefully and close the prism.
4) Focus
the cross wire of telescope by rotating the eye peace and adjust the mirror to
reflect maximum light into the prism box.
5) Move
the prism box backward and forward until a clean boundary between light and the dark region appears.
6) Now
rotate the prism box until the sharp boundaries line coincides with the intersection of the cross wire of the telescope.
7) Read
the refractive index directly on the scale repeat reading at least three times
and take the mean.
8) Determine
the density of liquid by using a density bottle and record the observation.
Calculation
of density:-
1) Weight
if the empty specific gravity bottle W1=…………
2) Weight
if the empty specific gravity bottle + liquid
W2A=
……….
W2B=………..
3) Weight
of the empty specific gravity bottle + water W3=………
4) Weight
of the specific gravity bottle W1=….
5) Weight
of distilling water = W3-W1
6) weight
of liquid A= W2A-W1
7) Density
of liquid A= d = weight of liquid A/weight of water.
8) Weight
of liquid B = W2B-W1
9) Density
of liquid B= d = Weight of liquid B/Weight of water.
