Abstract: | We discuss several interrelated single-ion thermodynamic properties required to calculate the liquid junction potential between two solutions of the same binary electrolyte. According to a previously reported molecular theory of nonuniform electrolyte solutions in nonequilibrium, is determined by the transport numbers of the ions, and by the second moment coefficients H

of the charge densities around the ions. The latter may be viewed as the single-ion contributors to the second moment condition of Stillinger and Lovett. For a solution of a single binary electrolyte, we relate the H

In the light of these results, we examine, in some detail, the role played by the specific short-range interionic interactions in determining . We investigate this matter by means of integral equation calculations for realistic models of LiCl and NaCl aqueous solutions in the 0–1 mol-dm–3 range. In addition to the hypernetted-chain (HNC) relation, we perform calculations under a new integral equation closure that is a hybrid between the HNC and Percus–Yevick closures. Like the HNC approximation, the new closure satisfies the Stillinger and Lovett condition. However, for the models considered in this study, the two closures predict different dependence of the H
