Abstract

The dependencies of the relative permittivity ε of over 50 liquids on the pressure P, as \((\partial \ln \varepsilon /P)_{T,P^0 } \), and of some 40 liquids on the (square of the) electric field E at ambient conditions, as \({\beta } = [\partial \varepsilon /\partial (E^2 )]_{T,P^0 } \) were obtained from literature data. The function \((\partial \ln \varepsilon /P)_{T,P^0 } \) was fitted to a simple expression in ε and the compressibility, κT. These data were used to obtain the limiting slope for the partial molar volumes and the electrostriction of electrolytes in various solvents.
