Abstract
Osmotic and activity coefficients are reported for the sodium salts of formic, acetic and propionic acids to the limits of their solubilities. Hydration of the “second kind” appears to increase with the length of the hydrocarbon chains. The onset of micelle formation is indicated in the more concentrated sodium propionate solutions.
