A quasithermodynamic approach to the viscous flow of aqueous electrolyte solutions at moderate and high concentrations

Abstract

Recent viscosity data for aqueous electrolyte solutions of varying concentrations and at various temperatures have been analysed using the Eyring rate-process equation to obtain the activation parameters for viscous flow. Some phenomenological correlations observed for the activation parameters have been examined, and solute–solvent interactions are discussed in terms of the concentration dependence of the activation parameters.
