Abstract
Conductivities were measured for the ternary systems NaNO3–KNO3–H2O, NaCl–BaCl2–H2O, NaCl–LaCl3–H2O, and their binary subsystems NaNO3–H2O, KNO3–H2O, NaCl–H2O, BaCl2–H2O, and LaCl3–H2O at (293.15, 298.15 and 303.15) K. The results were used to verify the generalized Young’s rule and the semi-ideal solution theory. Comparison of the results shows that the average relative differences between the predicted and measured conductivities are ≤4.2×10−3 for NaNO3–KNO3–H2O, ≤4.6×10−3 for NaCl–BaCl2–H2O, and ≤8.9×10−3 for NaCl–LaCl3–H2O, indicating that the generalized Young’s rule and the semi-ideal solution theory can provide good predictions for the conductivity of mixed electrolyte solutions in terms of the data from their binary subsystems.
