On Electrolytes in Media of Low Dielectric Constant

摘要

A conductance function derived by Halpern and Gross is compared with experimental data for what they consider to be the most favorable case: slight dissociation in a solvent of very low dielectric constant, at concentrations near that of the minimum in conductance. Such comparison shows that the functional form required by their equation is not satisfied by the data for tetraisoamylammonium picrate in benzene over the concentration range 1×10—6—2×10—4N. It is pointed out that the Bjerrum radius is not of decisive importance in the interpretation of conductance data.
