How to calculate the ionic activity coefficient? This calculator can help you determine it quickly and easily. Simply enter the necessary values into the calculator to find the result.

What is Ionic Activity Coefficient?

The ion measure checks ion effective levels in a liquid mix. It sees how ions act with each other, which can change how they act. This measure is key to predicting right how ions will act in different liquid setups. It accounts for how ions bump and stick together, not just how many there are. This helps know ion true strengths in any mix.

Formula

The formula to calculate the ionic activity coefficient is:

γ=10Az2I1+BdI
Variable Description
γ Ionic Activity Coefficient
A Constant A
z Charge of Ion
I Ionic Strength
B Constant B
d Effective Diameter of Ion

Calculation Examples

Example 1

  • A: 0.509
  • Charge of Ion: 2
  • Ionic Strength: 0.02
  • B: 0.328
  • Effective Diameter of Ion: 4.0

Calculation:

1. Plug the values into the formula:

γ=100.509220.021+0.3284.00.02

2. Calculate the numerator:

0.50940.02=0.50940.141=0.287

3. Calculate the denominator:

1+0.3284.00.02=1+0.3284.00.141=1.185

4. Divide the numerator by the denominator:

0.2871.185=0.242

5. Calculate the final value:

γ=100.2420.574

Example 2

  • A: 0.5
  • Charge of Ion: 1
  • Ionic Strength: 0.1
  • B: 0.3
  • Effective Diameter of Ion: 3.5

Calculation:

1. Plug the values into the formula:

γ=100.5120.11+0.33.50.1

Calculate the numerator:

0.510.1=0.50.316=0.158

3. Calculate the denominator:

1+0.33.50.1=1+0.33.50.316=1.332

4. Divide the numerator by the denominator:


0.151.332=0.119

5. Calculate the final value:

γ=100.1190.759
