Chapter 7 Flashcards
activity
The value that replaces concentration in a thermodynamically correct equilibrium expression. [X]Activity coefficient
activity coefficient
The number by which the concentration must be multiplied to give activity.
charge balance
A statement that the sum of all positive charge in solution equals the magnitude of the sum of all negative charge in solution.
extended Debye-Huckel equation
Gives the activity coefficient as a function of ionic strength.
ionic atomsphere
The region of solution around an ion or a charged particle. It contains an excess of oppositely charged ions.
mass balance
A statement that the sum of the moles of any element in all of its forms in a solution must equal the moles of that element delivered to the solution.
