NaCl conductance

Interstitial sites are defined as those that would usually be empty in an ideal structure. Occasionally in real structures, ions may be displaced from their lattice sites into interstitial sites Frenkel defect formation). Once this happens, the ions in interstitial sites can often hop into adjacent interstitial sites. These hops may be one stage in a long range conduction process. A schematic example is shown in Fig. 2.1(h) a small number of Na ions are displaced into the tetrahedral interstitial sites and can subsequently hop into adjacent tetrahedral sites. It should be noted, however, that while a small number of Frenkel defects may form in NaCl, conduction is primarily by means of vacancies whereas in some other structures, e.g. AgCl, Frenkel defects do predominate.

FIGURE 4.1 A simple device to demonstrate the electrical conductivity of an ionic solution, (a) A solution of NaCl conducts electricity because of the movement of charged particles (ions), thereby completing the circuit and allowing the bulb to light, (b) A solution of sucrose does not conduct electricity or complete the circuit because it has no charged particles. The bulb therefore remains dark.

Figure 2.4-9 Conductivities in a water/C02/Mn(PFPE)2 emulsion with a water content of 50% by volume. The aqueous phase contains 15 mM NaCl. Conductivities are normalized by the conductivity of C02-saturated 15mM salt water at each pressure.

In those days, batteries were already known, and conductivity measurements could be done one of the major interests of the physical chemists was the conductivity of materials in water solution. They discovered that some materials like NaCl conducted electricity very well, while others like acetic acid (CH3COOH) exhibited only weak conductivity in solution. They called these material electrolytes because they conducted electricity. 

The conductivity of solutions depends, from A2.4.31. on both the concentration of ions and their mobility. Typically, for 1 M NaCl in water at 18°C, a value of 7.44 is found by contrast, 1 M H2SO4 has a... 

Mercury cells are operated to maintain a 21—22 wt % NaCl concentration in the depleted brine and thus preserve good electrical conductivity. The depleted brine is dechlorinated and then resaturated with soHd salt prior to recycling back to the electroly2er. 

Preparation of Plutonium Metal from Fluorides. Plutonium fluoride, PuF or PuF, is reduced to the metal with calcium (31). Although the reactions of Ca with both fluorides are exothermic, iodine is added to provide additional heat. The thermodynamics of the process have been described (133). The purity of production-grade Pu metal by this method is ca 99.87 wt % (134). Metal of greater than 99.99 wt % purity can be produced by electrorefining, which is appHcable for Pu alloys as well as to purify Pu metal. The electrorefining has been conducted at 740°C in a NaCl—KCl electrolyte containing PuCl [13569-62-5], PuF, or PuF. Processing was done routinely on a 4-kg Pu batch basis (135). 

Bismuthides. Many intermetaUic compounds of bismuth with alkafl metals and alkaline earth metals have the expected formulas M Bi and M Bi, respectively. These compounds ate not saltlike but have high coordination numbers, interatomic distances similar to those found in metals, and metallic electrical conductivities. They dissolve to some extent in molten salts (eg, NaCl—Nal) to form solutions that have been interpreted from cryoscopic data as containing some Bi . Both the alkafl and alkaline earth metals form another series of alloylike bismuth compounds that become superconducting at low temperatures (Table 1). The MBi compounds are particularly noteworthy as having extremely short bond distances between the alkafl metal atoms.

Determination of Na " and Na" ions in raw cosmetic materials was conducted with the developed method of flame photometry. A necessity of development of method of samples preparation arose up in the work process, as this spicily-aromatic raw material contained pectin in amount 0.1-0.5% and that prevented preparation of samples by standard method of extracts dilution and required incineration of analyzed sample, time of analysis was increased in 60 times. It was established that CaCl, solution with the concentration 0,4 % caused destmctions of the carbopol gel. It was established that the addition of 0,1% CaCl, and 0,1% NaCl salts solutions into the system intensified the effect of negative action of these salts onto the gel stmcture and the gel destmcted completely. 

The specific conductivities of molten salts are frequently represented, as a function of temperature by an AtTlrenius equation, but it is unlikely that the unit step in diffusion has a constant magnitude, as in the coiTesponding solids and the results for NaCl may be expressed, within experimental eiTor, by the alternative equations... 

Monochalcogenides, LnZ (Z = S, Se, Te), have been prepared for all the lanthanides except Pm, mostly by direct combination.They are almost black and, like the monoxides, have the NaCl structure. However, with the exceptions of SmZ, EuZ, YbZ, TmSe and TmTe, they have metallic conductivity and evidently consist of Ln -t- Z ions with 1 electron from each cation delocalized in a conduction band. EuZ and YbZ, by contrast, are semiconductors or insulators with genuinely divalent cations, but SmZ seem to be intermediate and may involve the equilibrium ...

Figure 19.21 shows the types of crevices used by Wilde " for studying crevice corrosion and pitting of Cr-Ni-Fe alloys in the laboratory and in the field. Types 1 and 5 were used for anodic polarisation studies in nitrogen-saturated 1 mol dm NaCl and in aerated 3-5 mass% NaCl, respectively, and it can be seen that attachment to the conducting lead is by means of a Stern-Makrides pressure gasket Types 3 and 4 were used for field tests... 

In one of the two cells placed back to back, the solvent, as mentioned above, was pure water in each case. When the mixed solvent in the other cell contains only a small percentage of methanol, the resultant e.m.f. will obviously be small, and it should progressively increase with increasing difference between the solvents. In Fig. 61 abscissas are values of 1/e for the mixed solvent, running from 0.0126 for pure water to 0.0301 for pure methanol. Ordinates give the unitary part of the e.m.f. extrapolated to infinite dilution. It will be seen that for KC1, NaCl, and LiCl the curves differ only slightly from straight lines, but the curve for HC1 has quite a different shape. From the experimental results on the electrical conductivity depicted in Fig. 31 we expect the curve for HC1 to take this form. In Sec. 115 we shall discuss this result for HC1, and in Sec. 116 we shall return to the interpretation of the results obtained with the alkali chlorides. 

When an ionic solid such as NaCl dissolves in water the solution formed contains Na+ and Cl- ions. Since ions are charged particles, the solution conducts an electric current (Figure 2.12) and we say that NaCl is a strong electrolyte. In contrast, a water solution of sugar, which is a molecular solid, does not conduct electricity. Sugar and other molecular solutes are nonelectrolytes. 

Kuznetsov, Polyakov and Stangrit [317, 318] and on KC1 - NaCl - NaF -K2NbF7 by Kovalev, Ioffe and Datlina [319], all in the concentration range of up to 20-25% mass of K2NbF7. In all cases, maximum electro-conductivity was observed at concentrations of about 5-10% mass of K2NbF7. The peaking of the electro-conductivity is explained by the occurrence of two processes with opposite characters. The increase in electro-conductivity is related to the increase in the concentration of potassium ions [319] and fluorine ions [317, 318], whereas the drop in conductivity results from a decrease in free volume due to an increase in NbF72 ion concentration. 

Water is a very poor conductor of electricity. Yet when sodium chloride dissolves in water, the solution conducts readily. The dissolved sodium chloride must be responsible. How does the dissolved salt permit charge to move through the liquid One possibility is that when salt dissolves in water, particles with electric charge are produced. The movement of these charged particles through the solution accounts for the current. Salt has the formula, NaCl—for every sodium atom there is one chlorine atom. Chemists have...
