Electrical Conductance Studies in Aqueous Solutions with Glutamic Ions

Conductivity measurements in dilute aqueous solutions of L-glutamic acid, DL-glutamic acid, sodium-L-glutamate and magnesium-L-glutamate, were performed in the 288.15 to 323.15 K temperature range. The limiting molar conductivities of glutamic anions, λ ^o(HGlu⁻,T) and the dissociation constants of glutamic acid, K ₂(T) were derived by the use of the Debye–Hückel equation for the activity coefficients and the Onsager, and Quint and Viallard conductivity equations.
