Abstract

The dependence of the position x0 of the low-concentration peak on the curves of light scattering by aqueous solutions of alcohols on their molecular masses has been found. The relevant concentration for ethylene glycol at 20 ∘C is determined and compared with the literature data for the homologous series of methanol. The obtained dependence is linear to an error less than 2%.
