Electrical conductivity of dilute solutions of ""sea water"" from 5 to 120 °C

Abstract

D ata are ]"C'ported for solu t ions of sca salt a t co nce ntratio ns up to 161 ppm (2. 5 equ ivalcnt ppm chlOTin e) over t he ternpe ra ture range 5 to 120 ° 0. Ana lys is is ma d c in ter ms of equ iva-lent conductance a nd t he limi tin g law, A = Ao-a ·l e, wit h evalua tion of Ao a nd a in terms of the te mperature. As a res ult, t he conducti vity due to sea salt in wa t er is calcul able o ver t hese ra nges of te mperat u re a nd co nccntration wit h a n es tim a ted error of ± 0.3 perce nt or less.
