Abstract

Conductivities of symmetrical and unsymmetrical electrolytes of 2:2, 3:3, 2:1, 3:1 and 1:3 charge types in pure organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, acetonitrile, formamide, N-methylformamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, N-methylacetamide and N,N-dimethylacetamide) were analyzed using the Quint-Viallard conductivity equation and taking into account the ion association effect. The molar limiting conductances and the ion association constants were determined for various multivalent electrolytes in these solvents using the literature conductivities. In many cases, for the first time, it was possible to obtain consistent values of the limiting ionic conductances in organic solvents.
