THE ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY OF AQUEOUS 0.03 TO 4.0M KCI SOLUTIONS UNDER HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE.

Abstract

The electrical conductivity of aqueous KCl solutions has been measured over the concentration range 0.03 to 4.0M, the temperature range -8 to +20C, and at pressures up to 4,000 kg/sq. cm. The effect of these variables on conductivity are similar to their effect on viscosity - generally speaking they all tend to destroy the regions of structure in water and cause water to behave more like a 'normal' liquid. Inasmuch as their effects are similar, the operancy of one variable tends to diminish the relative effectiveness of a second. Thus increasing the temperature or adding electrolyte tends to smear out the anomalous minimum in the pressure-dependence of the relative viscosity or the anomalous maximum in the pressure-dependence of the relative conductance.
