On the Theory of Strong Electrolyte Solutions

Kirkwood, John G.·1934·The Journal of Chemical Physics

Abstract

The nature of the approximations involved in the derivation of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation of the Debye-Hückel theory is investigated in detail from the standpoint of classical statistical mechanics. The validity of the initial Debye approximation, under the restrictions originally imposed upon it, is confirmed. Deviations arising from fluctuation terms and van der Waals forces are roughly estimated. An alternative to the Bjerrum method for the treatment of ions of small size and high valence is outlined.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
