Abstract:
The extensive data for the osmotic coefficients, heats of dilution, and densities of aqueous solutions of rare earth chlorides, nitrates, and perchlorates are fitted to a single type of equation found satisfactory for many other solutes Good agreement is obtained. The various parameters do not show simple trends with cation radius. While there are some plausible explanations of these complexities, the total picture is far from clear.
