Abstract
The effect of some alkali metal chlorides on obstruction effect /α/ and activation energy /E/ for the tracer-diffusion of cobalt ions is studied in agar gel medium using the zone-diffusion technique. It is observed that both the parameters, α and E, decrease with increasing charge density of cation of the supporting electrolyte. This trend is explained on the basis of competitive hydration between ions and agar molecules and the relative distortion in the water structure brought about by these different ions and agar molecules, respectively.
