Abstract: The principles of group additivity are applied to the problem of determining the energy content of a mixture of hydrocarbons typically found in natural gas. With proper selection of the groups, the energy content of these mixtures (within 2 ppt) is shown to depend on only one variable. This variable is related to the molar refractivity of the gas mixture and can be determined by measuring the index of refraction.
