Question 8.2
Q: Which statements are true?
In the ionic strength, m, range of 0-0.1 M,
activity coefficients decrease with:
a) increasing ionic strength
b) increasing ionic charge
c) decreasing hydrated radius
All are true!!
Question 8.3

Calculate the ionic strength of
a)
b)
0.0087 M KOH
0.0002 M La(IO3)3 (assuming complete
dissociation at low concentration)
Ionic strength (m) = ½ (c1z12+ c2z22 + …)
= ½ [0.0087M(+1)2+ 0.0087M(-1)2]
= 0.0087 M
Remember for +1/-1 systems: Ionic strength, m = Molarity, M
