Chapter 8, Problem 8.79E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the given equation supports the given table or not is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Ionic strength of a solution is calculated by adding the concentration of each ion present in the solution after multiplying it by their corresponding charges. The ionic strength of the solution is represented as,

$I=\frac{1}{2}{\displaystyle \sum _{\text{i=1}}^{\begin{array}{l}\text{number of}\\ \text{ ions}\end{array}}{m}_{\text{i}}{z}_{\text{i}}^2}$

Where,

• $m_{\text{i}}$ represents the molality of the ${\text{i}}^{\text{th}}$ ion.

• $z_{\text{i}}$ represents the charge on the ${\text{i}}^{\text{th}}$ ion.
