Interpretation of Variation of Partial Moral Volume of Solute with Aqueous Solutions of Strong Electrolytes (Abstract)

One view is that the variation in the partial molal volume of water is produced by a change in its structure from a four-coordinated to a higher one. This view receives corroboration from experiments with the x-ray diffraction pattern of aqueous ionic solutions of thirty-one strong electrolytes. The results show a correspondence between the rate of variation of (1) the partial molal volume with concentration of the electrolyte; and (2) the liquid structure of the water also with concentration
