Transport properties of electrolytes from infinite dilution to saturation
Temperature and concentration dependence both of electrolyte condutances and transference numbers are discussed for various electrolyte solutions. The properties of the solvents and the ionic friction coefficients are correlated with solvent viscosities, permittivities and relaxation times. The permittivities and relaxation times of the solutions are studied as a function of frequency and electrolyte concentration. For dilute solutions consistent and reliable equations are based on the chemical model which takes into account short and long-range forces within the framework of the McMillan-Mayer-Friedman theories. The treatment of concentrated solutions uses the model of cooperatively rearranging domains and rationalizes the effects due to ion-ion and ion-solvent interactions in terms of the parameters characterizing the behaviour of electrolytes in dilute solution.
