Abstract

A more accurate calculation of relaxation effects obtained with the standard Debye-Huckel-Onsager model has been presented recently and is here applied to several aqueous 1:1 electrolytes. The variation of the standard deviation between calculated and observed equivalent conductivities withK A leads to an ill-defined minimum; but, where data over a wide concentration range are available, the minimum corresponds to values of the contact distancea which approximate to estimates from ionic dimensions. It is therefore proposed that, although preciseK A values from conductance cannot be determined, the most probable values are those associated with realistic estimates ofa. When data cover a limited concentration range, minimum standard deviations are often indeterminate or vary greatly for duplicate runs. It is shown that reasonable values ofK A can be obtained from such data if comparison is made at estimated values ofa.
