Transport properties of 2:2 symmetrical electrolytes in (water+ethylene glycol) binary mixtures at T=293.15K

“…A survey of literature shows that conductivity and viscosity studies of electrolytes in several solvent media have been performed in recent years to explore the type and the extent of the interactions in electrolyte solutions [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. The limiting molar conductance, the thermodynamic association constant and the Jones-Dole viscosity coefficients are the fundamental quantities that have been extracted from these studies.…”

“…The limiting molar conductance, the thermodynamic association constant and the Jones-Dole viscosity coefficients are the fundamental quantities that have been extracted from these studies. Whereas the investigation of the transport properties of symmetrical 1:1 electrolytes in binary mixtures has been the subject of numerous studies [1,[3][4][5][6][7][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], 2:2 type electrolytes have not been examined so far [2,8]. Previous experience with the transport properties of electrolytes in binary mixtures of (water + methanol) [18], (water + N,N-dimethylformamide) [19], (water + dimethylsulfoxide) [20], and (water + ethylene glycol) [21] led us to an investigation of zinc(II) sulfate in (water + ethylene glycol) (EG) binary mixtures.…”
