Abstract

The electrical conductivity (EC) of the ammonia-water system was studied in the concentration range 0.1–10 mol/L ammonia and the temperature range 15–60°C. The maximal EC of aqueous ammonia at a given temperature is proposed as the parameter for generalizing experimental results. The normalized EC was calculated as the ratio of the EC of aqueous ammonia of a given concentration to the maximal EC at a given temperature. Over the ranges of the concentrations and temperatures studied, all normalized ECs fall on one curve. The EC activation energy was analyzed as a function of ammonia concentration and temperature.
