Abstract
GUCKER1, on the basis of the Debye–Hückel theory, found that the apparent molar compressibility of aqueous solutions of electrolytes conforms to the relation ϕ(k 2) = ϕ0(k 2) + S k C 1/2, where ϕ(k 2) is the apparent molar compressibility at molar concentration C and ϕ0(k 2) at infinite dilution. S kis a constant. Similarly, the adiabatic compressibility was found to follow the relation β = β0 + AC + BC 3/2 (Bachem2), where β is the adiabatic compressibility at molar concentration C and β0 is that of water, while A and B are constants.
