Light scattering spectra were observed for binary mixtures of ethanol and carbon tetrachloride, and of ethanol and cyclohexane at various concentrations. The Rayleigh intensities were reduced to concentration fluctuation values. From the observed concentration fluctuation values, the mean association numbers of ethanol at each concentration were calculated. The results were compared with that observed in ethanol-chloroform system, where associative interaction between ethanol and chloroform molecules is expected. The concentration dependencies of the mean association numbers suggested that these non-associative solvent molecules (carbon tetrachloride and cyclohexane) promote the formation of large local structure in ethanol solution.
