Electrolyte—solvent interaction in the dipolar aprotic solvent dimethyl sulphoxide at 25°C

Conductance measurements are reported for s-alkylisothiouronium bromide, iodide and picrate salts in the dipolar aprotic solvent DMSO at 25°C. The data were analysed by Fuoss's equation (1975–1980) for 1:1 electrolytes, from which the values of Λ₀, the Gurney's cosphere diameter R and K_A are obtained. The results are discussed in the light of the recorded values of the constants K_R and K_S and the free energy term G_s.
