Abstract

Sastre de Vicente has recently published an excellent paper on the concept of ionic strength, detailing its empirical origin, its independent appearance in the theories of Debye and Hückel, its applications in solution chemistry and, most importantly, its interpretation as reflecting “the extent to which a potential difference induces a charge density difference”.

  Abstract:
  The term ionic strength is defined differently in different textbooks and monographs. Some define it in terms of mol kg^-1, while others define it in terms of the non-SI unit mol L^-1. The conversion to the SI unit mol m³ creates a problem in computing mean ...

  Abstract:
  Even today, eighty years after its empirical introduction in chemistry, the ionic strength of a solution continues to be regarded as a major variable in examining salt effects in many fields of science. In fact, many studies have examined the effect of, ...
