Abstract

An electrochemical cell with two ion-selective electrodes (Na\(^{+}\) glass) and (Cl\(^{-}\) solid state) was used to measure the mean ionic activity coefficient of NaCl in an aqueous mixture containing NaCl, glycine, and NaNO\(_{3}\) at 308.15 K. The experiments were conducted at fixed molality of NaNO\(_{3}\) (0.1 m) and various molalities of glycine (0–1 m) and NaCl (up to 0.8 m). The experimental data were modeled using a modified version of the Pitzer equation. Finally the activity coefficient ratio of glycine was determined based on the Maxwell equation.
