Method and apparatus for determination of relative permittivity of solvents
Abstract:
In this work a modification of an existing coaxial cylindrical capacitor cell is described, that is compatible with a system built recently for precise measuring of temperature dependent data in electrolyte solutions. The method and apparatus, presented in detail in this technical paper, turned out to be a reliable and easy procedure for determination of the relative permittivity of diverse solvents. It will be used further in our laboratory for collecting these data which are indispensable for conductivity studies.
