Parameters for the dependence on ionic strength of activity coefficients for several protonated and unprotonated mono-hexacarboxylates in (C 2 H 5 ) 4 NI and (CH 3 ) 4 NCl aqueous solution were calculated from protonation data [31 polycarboxylates, 613 protonation constants at T ) 298 K, 1244 at T * 298 K, in (C 2 H 5 ) 4 NI; 16 polycarboxylates, 433 protonation constants at T ) 298 K, 308 at T * 298 K (T ) 278 K to 328 K), in (CH 3 ) 4 NCl], at different ionic strengths [0 mol‚kg -1 e I e 1.2 mol‚kg -1 , for (C 2 H 5 ) 4 NI and 0 mol‚kg -1 e I e 3.9 mol‚kg -1 , for (CH 3 ) 4 -NCl)] using a modified SIT model. In this model, the interaction coefficients are considered as dependent on ionic strength according to the equation ) ∞ + ( 0 -∞ )/(I + 1). The analysis of protonation data showed that the parameters for the dependence on both ionic strength and temperature are a simple function of the charge of carboxylate species. Mean values of interaction coefficients are given by the relationships ) jz 2 ; j ∞ ) -0.0188 and -0.0063; j 0 ) 0.2420 and 0.1642 for (C 2 H 5 ) 4 NI and (CH 3 ) 4 NCl, respectively. For the activity coefficients of neutral species, a simple relationship as a function of the number n of carboxylic groups was found: log γ N ) k m I (k m ) Setschenow coefficient); k m ) k h m ‚n, k h m ) -0.0198 and 0.0055, for (C 2 H 5 ) 4 NI and (CH 3 ) 4 NCl, respectively. Mean values of interaction coefficients were also reported for some synthetic and natural polyelectrolytes in (C 2 H 5 ) 4 NI ( j ∞ ) -0.007; j 0 ) 0.199). Furthermore, calculations were made to find the parameters of Pitzer equations. Also in this case, we found a simple relationship between (0) and (1) parameters and species charges. A comparison is given between the SIT and Pitzer models. An almost perfect correlation was found between the SIT and Pitzer coefficients.
