What is Ionic activity?
The properties of electrolyte solutions can significantly deviate from the laws used to derive chemical potential of solutions. In ionic solutions, however, there are significant electrostatic interactions between solute-solvent as well as solute-solute molecules. These electrostatic forces are governed by Coulomb's law, which has a r^−2 dependence. Consequently, the behavior of an electrolyte solution deviates considerably from that an ideal solution. Indeed, this is why we utilize the activity of the individual components and not the concentration to calculate deviations from ideal behavior. In 1923, Peter Debye and Erich Hückel developed a theory that would allow us to calculate the mean ionic activity coefficient of the solution, γ± , and could explain how the behavior of ions in solution contribute to this constant.
How to Calculate Mean Ionic Activity for Uni-Univalent Electrolyte?
Mean Ionic Activity for Uni-Univalent Electrolyte calculator uses Mean Ionic Activity = (Molality)*(Mean Activity Coefficient) to calculate the Mean Ionic Activity, The Mean ionic activity for Uni-univalent electrolyte formula is defined as the product of the square of molality of electrolyte and square of the mean activity coefficient. Examples of uni-univalent electrolytes are NaCl, KCl, etc. Mean Ionic Activity is denoted by A± symbol.
