Equation of calibration (Toluene Rich Phase)

Y = -0.017x + 1.48983

Y = refractive index

X = solute Acetone composition (wt%)

Calculate the value of x (Solute composition wt%)

At 0 minute : y = 1.462

1.433 = -0.017x + 1.48983

x = 21.35 wt%

At 5 minute : y= 1.455

1.455 = - 0.017x + 1.48983

x = 25.47 wt%

At 10 minute : y=1.448

1.448 = -0.017x + 1.48983

x = 29.59 wt %

At 15 minute : y=1.446

1.446 = -0.017x + 1.48983

x =30.76 wt %

At 20 minute : y=1.447

1.447 = -0.017x + 1.48983

x = 30.18 wt %

At 25 minute : y=1.445

1.445 = -0.017x + 1.48983

x =31.35 wt %

Refractive index chosen at minute 25 , which is 1.445

Equation of calibration (water rich phase)

Y = 0.005x + 1.3343

Y = Refractive index

X = Solute (Acetone) composition (wt %)

Calculate x the solute(Acetone) composition (wt%) :-

At 0 minute, y=1.349

1.354 = 0.005x + 1.3343

X = 29.4 wt%

At 5 minute, y=1.351

1.354 = 0.005x + 1.3343

X = 33.4 wt%

At 10 minute, y=1.347

1.354 = 0.005x + 1.3343

X = 25.4wt%

At 15 minute, y=1.354

1.354 = 0.005x + 1.3343

X = 39.4 wt%

At 20 minute, y=1.352

1.354 = 0.005x + 1.3343

X = 35.4 wt%

At 25 minute, y= 1.352

1.354 = 0.005x + 1.3343

X = 35.4 wt%

Refractive chosen is at minute 25, which is 1.352
