Abstract
We determine the liquid-vapour coexistence curve of the restricted pri mitive model of electrolytes by means of Monte Carlo simulations perfo rmed in the Gibbs ensemble and in a hyperspherical geometry. It is fou nd that the Stillinger-Lovett condition is satisfied in the liquid pha se but not in the vapour phase. This means that the latter could be di electric. Whether this unexpected result is due to finite-size effects or not remains an open question.
