Representation of electrical conductances for polyvalent electrolytes by the quint-viallard conductivity equation. Part 2. Symmetrical 3:3 type electrolytes. Dilute aqueous solutions of rare earth hexacyanoferrates(III) and hexacyanocobaltates(III)

Literature values of the electrical conductivities of dilute aqueous solutions of trivalent rare earth hexacyanoferrates(III) (La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd) and of rare earth hexacyanocobaltates( III) (La, Nd, Sm, Y) were reexamined within the framework of the Quint- Viallard conductivity equation in order to obtain a uniform representation of their conductivities. It was observed that the limiting conductances of electrolytes at infinite dilution depend weakly on the applied conductivity equation, whereas the derived ion association equilibrium constants vary considerably and therefore should be treated rather as fitting parameters.
