Abstract
Small colloids in a uni-univalent aqueous electrolyte are modeled by a four -component solvent primitive model. The symmetric Poisson-Boltzmann theory is used to analyze the system and to calculate the second virial coefficien t B-2 of very dilute particle suspensions for varying solute and solvent co ncentrations. The results are compared with some experimental results on B- 2 of the silicotungstate anion suspension in an alkali halide solution.
