CONDUCTANCE IN THE RANGE OF MEDIUM CONCENTRATION

Abstract
Equivalent conductances, densities, and viscosities of aqueous solutions of ammonium nitrate, of silver nitrate, and of lithium nitrate were determined at 25 °C and at 35 °C at concentrations ranging from 0.01 N to 1.0 N.Experimental equivalent conductances have been compared with those calculated by the Wishaw–Stokes and Falkenhagen–Leist equations. Suitable choice of one parameter, the distance of closest approach, permits reproduction of the experimental data with an error of less than 0.5%. A study of the deviations of the calculated from the experimental conductances reveals that the distance of closest approach (so-called) varies appreciably with concentration and temperature.
