Dielectric Characteristics of Water and Electric Conductivity of Aqueous Electrolytes

详细

The specific electric conductivities (ECs) of concentrated aqueous solutions of electrolytes were shown to be comparable to the limiting high-frequency (HF) EC of water. The limiting HF EC of water is determined by the ratio of the absolute dielectric constant to the dipole dielectric relaxation time. It was assumed that the specific EC of an aqueous solution cannot exceed the limiting HF EC of water. The specific ECs of the 1.0 М aqueous solutions of lithium, sodium, and potassium chlorides were calculated from the limiting HF EC of water. At elevated temperatures, the specific ECs of aqueous salts were shown to increase in direct proportion to the limiting HF EC of water.
