Abstract: | Combined thermodynamic and kinetic studies have yielded convenient single-ion activity coefficients for manganese(II), alkaline-earth, and chloride ions and standard exchange currents for the two steps of the Mn(Hg)/Mn(II) electrode in 0.005 M MnCl2+0.495 M MeCl2 (for Me=Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, and Mn) at 25°C. The results indicate that the fall in mean ionic activity coefficient for the alkaline-earth chlorides along the sequence from magnesium to barium is carried to a larger extent by the cation than by the anion, that also the activity coefficient for the minority cation Mn(II) falls along this sequence, and that other than activity-coefficient effects on the Mn(Hg)/Mn(II) reactions appear only with barium ions, which retard the reactions additionally. The results are discussed with emphasis on ionic interactions and double-layer effects. |
