Abstract
At various temperatures the concentration dependence of transference numbers of electrolytes in methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, acetonitrile, propylene carbonate, and water is investigated with the help of equations which take into account non-coulombic effects. A general rule for predicting the sign and magnitude of the concentration dependence of transference numbers is established. Literature data are reevaluated with the help of these equations and consistency of experimental data with the prediction is examined. Reference data for ion limiting conductances from experimental investigations are proposed which may be used for the judgment as to the reliability of empirical reference electrolyte methods.
