Osmotic Coefficients and Mean Activity Coefficients of Uni-univalent Electrolytes in Water at 25°C

TLDR

The paper provides values for the osmotic coefficients and mean activity coefficients of uni‑univalent electrolytes in aqueous solutions at 25 °C. The authors compile and correct literature values on molality or weight basis, adjust them to accepted atomic weight, temperature, and electrical unit scales, ensure thermodynamic consistency, and supply estimates or references where data are sparse. The study reports osmotic and mean activity coefficients for 79 electrolytes, including statistical measures of fit to concentration‑dependent equations, and cites data for an additional 51 electrolytes.

Abstract

This paper gives values for the osmotic coefficients and mean activity coefficients of uni-univalent electrolytes in aqueous solutions at 25 °C. The values are expressed on the molality or weight basis. The data available in the literature have been corrected to the presently accepted scales of atomic weights (1969) and temperature (IPST 1968) and, where necessary, to the absolute electrical units of 1969 and the fundamental constants of 1963. The selected values of osmotic coefficients and mean activity coefficients for individual electrolytes have been made internally consistent thermodynamically. In some cases estimated values are given; in other cases, references only are given when the data are sparse or unsuited to critical evaluation. Values of the osmotic coefficients and mean activity coefficients of 79 compounds are given together with the standard deviation, variance, and normalized standard deviation of their fit to equations which express these quantities as functions of electrolyte concentration. Finally, literature references are given to data on 51 additional uni-univalent electrolytes.
