Abstract
Activation energies for electrolyte diffusion of Zn(NO3)2, ZnBr2 and ZnI2 in 1% agar gel at different concentrations are determined by the least-squares fitting of the diffusion coefficient data obtained at various temperatures through the Arrhenius plots. Energy of activation is found to decrease with an increase in electrolyte concentration. This trend is explained by considering the changes in the physical properties of the solution with concentration at microscopic level, as envisaged in Wang's model.
