Drude-Nernst equation

The solvent is assumed to be a continuum of relative permittivity fir, and the ion to be a hard sphere of radius r with charge z e Na is the Avogadro number. Eq. (5-172) represents the electrostatic contraction change in volume for a mole of ions. According to the Drude-Nernst equation, electrostriction should be proportional to the square of the charge on the ions, inversely proportional to the ionic radii, and should increase in proportion to the value of l/s )/ 8si/8p), which depends on the nature of the solvent. It follows that A Ve will vary strongly in reactions where charges are created or neutralized, which, in turn, should show up as a solvent dependence of AE. ...
