Conductance of aqueous NaCl solutions at pressures up to 2000 atm

Electrical conductance measurements are reported for aqueous NaCl solutions at 25°C as a function of concentration up to 0.02M and pressures up to 2000 atm. The data were analyzed with the Fuoss-Hsia-Fernandez-Prini (FHFP) equation. The standard error of fit, , varies from 0.04 at 1 atm to 0.10 at 2000 atm. The increase of with pressure arises from increasing non-randomness in the distribution of errors about the FHFP equation suggesting that modifications in the theory are necessary. The pressure dependence of _O for NaCl and KCl is nearly identical.Contribution of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, New Series
