Abstract
BY a method elaborated by me the diffusion coefficients of both negative and positive ions have been measured in liquid n-hexane at 25° C (ref. 1). This method is based on that of diffusion from a body of limited dimensions with boundary conditions. One-sign ions were introduced to the measuring chamber designed as a parallel plate condenser and then time decrease of ion number caused by diffusion was examined. Experimental conditions were chosen so that the influence of Coulomb repulsion of one-sign ions could be neglected.
