Abstract

It is shown that the full Fuoss-Hsia equation can be extended to fit conductivity data for electrolyte solutions in which ion pairs and triple ions exist at comparable concentrations. The treatment is a three parameter fit of ∧ °, K a , and K t (the limiting molar conductivity, the thermodynamic ion association constant, and the thermodynamic triple ion formation constant, respectively). Using literature conductivity data for 1:1 electrolytes in solvents of low permittivity, it is demonstrated that an excellent fit can be achieved over a wide concentration range. Limitations of the treatment are discussed.
