Abstract
IT is well known1 that for a salt solution the relationship between adiabatic compressibility, β, and molarity, c, is given by the expression: Recently2, the variation of compressibility with concentration, for aqueous solutions of various inorganic sulphates (lithium sulphate, magnesium sulphate, sodium sulphate, potassium sulphate, etc.), was reported; differences in the behaviour of each solution were related to differences in the cations—as the sulphate ion was common to all, the differences were considered to be due to differences in the ionic radius of the cations.
