FindγforCl- in 0.33mMCaCl2.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The activity coefficient value for Cl-in 0.33mMCaCl2is 0.964.

Step by step solution

01

Concept used.

Extended Debye-Huckel equation:

The extended Debye-Huckel equation describes the link between activity coefficient and ionic strength.

γ-activity coefficient of ion

μ-ionic strength of solution

α-size of ion

02

Step 2: Calculate the value of γ.

Given information,

0.33mMCaCl2

Size of Cl-ion is 300pm

Ionic strength calculation formula is given by

μ=12c1z12+c2z22+.............=12icizi2

where,

ci-concentration of theith species andzi is its charge.

Calculate the ionic strength of the solution by substituting the numbers into the equation above.

μ=12Ca2++22+2Cl--12=120.33+22+20.33-12mM=0.99mM=0.00099M

Using the extended Debye-Huckel equation, find the value of γfor Cl-.
