“…The pattern of dilution measurements followed that of other studies in this laboratory (75,77,19). In summary, a series of interconnected dilutions were made to delineate the low molality range, and individual dilutions from higher molalities were referred to the low molality region after it had been fitted to the Debye-HUckel smoothing and extrapolation function used for previous studies (15,17). The solutions used to delineate the range of molalities below 1m were all referred to the same NaOH solution to eliminate possible distortion from analytical errors.…”
