Furthermore, for the Huber equation, the value of coefficient (E) is consistently zero and for the Horvath equation, is zero for four solvents mixtures out of six, with an extreme value of 97.3 for one solvent.
On the basis of the irrational fits of the data to the Huber and Horvath equations, these equations will not be considered to satisfactorily describe the relationship between (H) and (u). According to Katz et al. the same irrational behavior of the Huber and Horvath equation was observed if the data for hexamethylbenzene was also fitted to them.
