Transport Properties in Liquids Situation in liquids is qualitatively different from a gas, a certain amount of energy is necessary just to move a molecule activation energy Ea to escape the interaction with its neighbors (e.g. by breaking H-bonds). probability of a molecule having Ea (i.e. able to move) mobility of a particle inversely prop. to viscosity of the liquid viscosity of a liquid decreases with increasing T
Transport properties of electrolyte solutions Conductance G: the inverse of electrical resistance R of a solution where A = sample cross sectional area; l = sample length; e = electrical conductivity (do not confuse with compressibility or thermal conductivity) [Ge] = S (Siemens) = -1 = CV-1s-1 [e] = Sm-1 Molar conductivity m = e/c where c = molar concentration of electrolyte [m] = Sm2mol-1; typical values m 102 Sm2mol-1
Transport properties of electrolyte solutions Kohlrausch Law: Note: Kohlrausch law is empirical, works best at low concentrations and for strong electrolytes m0 is the limiting molar conductivity (i.e. m for c 0) m0 = ++ + -- (law of independent migration of ions) where +/- is the number of cations/anions per electrolyte unit, +/- is the limiting molar conductivity of the cations/anions
