Electrolyte Conductivity
« on: February 27, 2009, 12:38:43 PM »
Does anyone have any good resources or tables for electrolyte conductivity at different temperatures? Or does anyone know what kind of conductivity a strong electrolyte can have? Thanks in advance.

Dear ifuller;

Have you searched the Internet for:  electrolyte conductivity temperature dependence ?
(They reported over 90'000 hits.)

I think on the net you will find also some to your second question.

Good Luck!

Argos,
Thanks for the advise. I have been doing some research. I originally thought that there would be some electrolytes with conductivities that rival that of what we would typically consider metallic conductors. But the information that I have been finding seems to contradict this assumption. Any suggestions or ideas. Are there really not any electrolytes with conductivity that high?

In metals charge is transferred by electrons, in solutions - by ions. Compare their size, compare their mobility.
