Abstract

The thermooptical properties of aqueous solutions of strong electrolytes (H2SO4, HCl, NaCl, Na2SO4, and NaOH) are considered. The thermal lens signal depends on the nature of the electrolyte. The effect of an electrolyte is not the sum of the effects of the constituent ions. The largest gain in the sensitivity of thermal-lens measurements is achieved with sulfuric acid (sensitivity enhancement factor of 2 for 0.6 M H2SO4 versus water) and sodium chloride (sensitivity enhancement factor of 1.5 for 3 M NaCl), while the effect of hydrochloric acid is negligible.
