Abstract
The applicability of the Lee-Wheaton conductance equation to the problem of accounting for the variation of the conductivity of moderately complex electrolyte solutions containing more than two kinds of ionic species and involving one or more ion-association equilibria is demonstrated using the chemically interesting examples of sulfuric acid, sodium bisulfate, and hydrofluoric acid, as well as naphthalene trisulfonic acid, sodium naphthalene trisulfonate, and lanthanum naphthalene trisulfonate. The question of retention of the C7 and V2 terms in the Lee-Wheaton equation is discussed.
