Effect of the mean distance of closest approach of ions on the diffusion coefficient calculations in aqueous solutions of silver salts

Abstract Diffusion coefficients of silver salts in aqueous solutions are estimated from Onsager-Fuoss and Pikal models, using different values of the mean distance of closest approach of ions, a, determined from different theoretical procedures. The influence of this parameter on the diffusion of these systems is discussed.

Estimation of the mean distance of closest approach of some heavy metal ions in aqueous solutions: some experimental and theoretical calculations

The estimation of numerical values of the mean distance of closest approach of ions, a, of heavy metal ion salts in aqueous solutions, determined from activity coefficients, as well as from different theoretical approaches, is presented and discussed.

Conductivity studies of sodium iodide in pure tetrahydrofuran and aqueous binary mixtures of tetrahydrofuran and 1,4-dioxane at 298.15 K

Electrical conductance measurements are reported for sodium iodide (NaI) in water + tetrahydrofuran (THF) and water + 1,4-dioxane binary mixtures at 298.15 K. The conductance data have been analyzed by the Fuoss conductance–concentration equation in terms of the limiting molar conductance (Λ 0), the association constant (K A) and the distance of closest approach of ions (R). Furthermore, the conductance data for pure THF have also been analyzed by the Fuoss–Kraus theory and the values of the ion-pair and triple-ion formation constants are calculated.

Conductometric Study of Some Metal Halides in Glycerol + Water Mixtures

Electrolytic conductivities of potassium halides, KX (X = Cl−, Br−, I−) have been investigated in 10, 20, and 30 mass% glycerol + H2O mixtures at 298.0, 308.0, and 318.0 K. The conductance data have been analyzed by the Fuoss-conductance–concentration equation in terms of the limiting molar conductance (Λ0), the association constant (K A ), and the distance of closest approach of ion (R). The association constant (K A ) tends to increase in the order: 10 mass% < 20 mass% < 30 mass% glycerol + water mixtures, while it decreases with temperature. Thermodynamic parameters ΔH 0, ΔG 0, and ΔS 0 are obtained and discussed. Also, Walden products (Λ0η) are reported. The results have been interpreted in terms of ion–solvent interactions and structural changes in the mixed solvents.
