Abstract

A simple empirical equation is presented for the prediction of the mean ionic activity coefficient of each component in aqueous electrolyte mixtures containing a common ion. The results obtained in a variety of two- and three-electrolyte mixtures show that in most cases logγ values predicted by this equation are consistent with values predicted using an elaborate ion-component model.
