THE CONDUCTANCES OF STRONG SOLUTIONS OF STRONG ELECTROLYTES AT 95°

Abstract
Measurements of conductance and fluidity of silver nitrate and of ammonium nitrate solutions, over a range of concentration varying from 0.05 N to 14 N (silver nitrate) and from 0.08 N to 15 N (ammonium nitrate) have been made. In both cases, a maximum is observed in the specific conductances but in neither case does a minimum occur in the plot of equivalent conductance against concentration. While the equivalent conductance in very dilute solutions is proportional to [Formula: see text], in very concentrated solutions it appears to be directly proportional to C. Temperature coefficients of conductance and of fluidity are evaluated and their theoretical importance discussed. Partial molar volumes of water in these solutions are evaluated.
