Their limiting law still stands and is confirmed as close to reality in many experiments. In a previous article [2], it is shown that these limiting activity coefficients arise because the electrical contribution in the electrochemical potential of ionic species is overestimated traditionally with a factor 2. The smaller value removes inconsistencies in the models and complies better with the basic electrostatic principles. In this article further evidence is given in support of this alternative description. As consequence the dilute activity coefficients become unity, e.g. are removed, which means that the electrochemical potential of ions in dilute solutions is expressed directly in concentration, instead of activity, which simplifies modelling in such dilute solutions.展开更多

Molybdenum（Ⅵ） forms a mononuclear complex with the aforementioned ligands of the type MoO3L^2-. All measurements have been carried out at 25 ℃ and different ionic strengths ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 mol·L^-1 of NaClO4, with the pH justified to 6.0. Equilibrium concentration products and stoichiometry of the complexes have been determined from a combination of potentiometric and UV spectroscopic measurements. Comparison of the ionic strength effect on these complex formation reactions has been made using a Debye-Hückel type equation and Bronsted-Guggenheim-Scatchard specific ion interaction theory （SIT）. Debye-Hückel theory predicted the first order effects on simple electrolyte solutions. Interactions between the reacting species and the ionic medium were taken into account in the SIT model. All of the calculations have been done by the computer program Excel 2000.展开更多
