Dielectric permittivity in a dense layer of the hydration shell of an ion in a strong-electrolyte solution

Based on the experimental data on the dielectric dispersion and the static dielectric permittivity of solutions of strong electrolytes, the effective value of the latter in the dense layer of the hydration shell of an ion has been calculated. The calculations have been carried out in terms of the three-layer model of the hydration complex. The calculations have shown that for the solutions of strong electrolytes the value of the static dielectric permittivity (dielectric constant) in the dense layer of the hydration shell of an ion proves to be close to 2 and is almost independent of the concentration and temperature.
