The audio frequency conductances of magnesium, manganese II, and barium malonates in aqueous medium at 25 °C

Abstract

The conductance of aqueous solutions of magnesium, manganese II, and barium malonates has been measured at 1.59 kHz, using a conventional audio frequency bridge. Conductance data were evaluated using different modern theoretical conductance equations, each a three-parameter equation in KA, Λ0, and a. These are the complete and expanded forms of both the Fuoss–Hsia (F/H) and Pitts (P) equations and the Lee–Wheaton (L/W) equation. Our results show that the Lee–Wheaton equation is the most satisfactory. Keywords: conductance, aqueous medium, magnesium malonate, manganese malonate, barium malonate.
