Dielectric properties of binary mixtures. 5. Dilute alcohol/nonpolar solvent systems

A simple model is used for dilute polar/nonpolar systems, based on the additivity of electric susceptibilities of a solute/solvent interaction species and a nonpolar solvent. A spherical cavity is considered. Permittivity values, calculated as a function of concentration, are in good agreement with experimental results when the model is applied to systems containing water or lower alcohols in nine nonpolar solvents.
