Experiment 4: Conductivity of electrolyte solutions

Pure water does not conduct electricity, but any solvated ionic species would contribute to conduction of electricity. An ionically conducting solution is called an electrolyte solution and the compound, which produces the ions as it dissolves, is called an electrolyte. A strong electrolyte is a compound that will completely dissociate into ions in water. Correspondingly, a weak electrolyte dis...

The Efficacy of Glucose and Electrolyte Solutions in Preserving the Structure of Fowl Spermatozoa after Freezing and Thawing

HARRIS et al.1), observing ultrastructural changes in rapidly frozen fowl spermatozoa, noted destructive effects on the acrosome, the midpiece, and the cytoplasmic membrane. Similar ultrastructural damages were seen by BAKST and SEXTON2) in frozen-thawed fowl and turkey spermatozoa under transmission and scanning electron microscopes. However, they gave little information on the possible mechan...

An Evaluation of Four Electrolyte Models for the Prediction of Thermodynamic Properties of Aqueous Electrolyte Solutions

In this work, the performance of four electrolyte models for prediction the osmotic and activity coefficients of different aqueous salt solutions at 298 K, atmospheric pressure and in a wide range of concentrations are evaluated. In two of these models, (electrolyte Non-Random Two-Liquid e-NRTL and Mean Spherical Approximation-Non-Random Two-Liquid MSA-NRTL), association between ions of opposit...

Modeling the Thermodynamic Properties of Solutions Containing Polymer and Electrolyte with New Local Composition Model

A new theory model based on the local composition concept (TNRF-modified NRTL (TNRF-mNRTL) model) was developed to express the short-range contribution of the excess Gibbs energy for the solutions containing polymer and electrolyte. An equation represented the activity coefficient of solvent was derived from the proposed excess Gibbs energy equation. The short-range contribution of interaction ...
