Accurate values of the activity coefficients of thiocyanic acid in aqueous solution have been obtained for concentrations of up to 0.1 molal at 25 "C by combining results for transference-number experiments with those for cells with transport. The transference-number experiments were done with the movingboundary method, the transference-number at infinite dilution being calculated from measured conductivities of the thiocyanic acid. For the electromotive force (e.m.f.) measurements, conventional glass electrodes were used in conjunction with a high input-impedance electrometer.The results obtained electrochemically were checked by determining activity coefficients from freezingpoint depression measurements which also extended the range of concentrations to 1 molal.The results of the two types of measurement are in good agreement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
