Abstract
ion selective electrodes were used to measure the activity coefficients of individual ions at 298.2 K in aqueous solutions of KF, KBr and NaF up to 3, 2 and 1 molal, respectively. The mean ionic activity coefficients of the e lectrolytes obtained from the values of individual ions show good agreement with values reported in the literature. The experimental results confirm t hat the activity coefficients are different for the anion and the cation in an aqueous solution of a single electrolyte. it is also confirmed that the deviation from ideality for each ion depends on its counterion. The Khoshk barchi-Vera equation was used to correlate the experimental data.
