Abstract

Systematic and precise measurements of electrical conductivities of aqueous solutions of cadmium chloride were performed in the 2 × 10-5 - 1 × 10-2 mol·dm-3 concentration range, from 278.15 to 313.15 K. Determined conductances were interpreted in terms of molecular model which includes a mixture of two 1:1 and 2:1 electrolytes. The molar limiting conductances of λ0(CdCl+, T) and λ0(1/2Cd2+, T), the equilibrium constants of CdCl+ formation K(T) and the corresponding standard thermodynamic functions were evaluated using the Quint-Viallard conductivity equations, the Debye-Hückel equations for activity coefficients and the mass-action equation. An excellent agreement between calculated and experimental conductivities was reached.
