Abstract
Electromotive-force measurements of cells containing hydrochloric acid and indium chloride have been made to determine the variation of the log of the activity coefficient of hydrochloric acid with change in the amount of indium chloride in the solution. The simpler Harned equations have been used to fit the data. The quadratic terms in the Harned equations for the activity coefficients of HCl in the salt mixtures are required for a good fit of the 968 experimental emf data points at all the experimental ionic strengths and temperatures. The more convenient Pitzer ion-interaction treatment of the data will be reported in a separate publication which will include the values of the Pitzer parameters for pure InCl3(aq), and mixing parameters for H+−In+3 and H+−In+3−Cl−. A comprehensive investigation on the mixed electrolyte solutions at 11 different constant total ionic strengths ranging from 0.05 to 3.5 mol-kg−1 was made at 11 temperatures from 5 to 55°C using the cell without liquid junction of the type: Pt,H2(g, 1 atm)|HCl(mA)+InCl3(mB)+H2O|AgCl,AG (A).
