Explanation / Answer

Recall that ionic strength considers all ions in solution, and its charges. It is typically used to calculate the ionic activity of other ions. The stronger the electrolytes, the more ionic strength they will have.

The formula:

I.S. = 1/2*sum( Ci * Zi^2)

Where

I.S. = ionic strength, M (also miu / ) used

Ci = concentration of ion “i”

Zi = Charge of ion “i”

The exercise:

[Na+] = 0.025*2 = 0.050, i = 1

[SO4-2] = 0.025; i = 2

[Pb+2] = 0.015; i = 2

[NO3-] = 0.030, i= 1

IS = 1/2(0.050 + 0.025*4 + 0.015*4 + 0.030*1)

IS = 0.12

Activity of X = x * [X]

Where:

Activity coefficient () of “x”

[X] = molar concentration concentration of X

Note that Activity coefficient () depends on

Where

i = activity coefficient for species “i”

i = theoretical diameter in pm (10^-12 m)

Zi = Charge of ion

I.S. = ionic Strength (usually used as as well)

If we wanted only

= 10^-(0.51*(Zi^2)*sqrt(I.S.) / ( 1 + ( * sqrt(I.S)/305)))

= 10^-(0.51*(2^2)*sqrt(0.12) / ( 1 + (400 * sqrt(0.12)/305)))

y = 0.32664

choose c, 0.327
