Introduction • In the early 1900s, Several physical chemists, including NielsBjerrum and William Sutherland, assumed that strong electrolytes are completely dissociated in solution. • Based on this assumption, Milner calculated osmotic coefficients, a quantity related to the activity coefficient. • Debye and Hückel developed a mathematical route to treat equilibrium properties of electrolytes. TheDebye–Hückel theory is a theoretical explanation for departures from ideality in electrolytes solutions.
Introduction • Ideal Solution: • Measurement quantity are proportional to the concentration of the solute. • Real Solution: • Measurement quantity are proportional to the activation of the solute. The Debye-Hückel limiting lawenables to determine the activity coefficient of an ion in a dilute solution of known ionic strength. A Measurement quantity B C mole fraction
The model of DH Theory principal assumption is that departure from ideality is due to electrostatic interactions between ions, mediated by Coulomb's law: It is also assumed that: • The dissolved electrolyte is completely dissociated. • Ions are spherical and are not polarized by the surrounding electric field. • The solvent plays no role other than providing a medium of constant relative permittivity. • There is no electrostriction. • Central ion is surrounded by a spherically symmetric cloud of opposite ions.
Mathematical development D&H use the Helmholtz and Gibbs free entropies to express the effect of electrostatic forces in an electrolyte solution. • i: is a species s: is the number of different particle types in solution • Ni: is the number of particles of species i • : is the particle specific Gibbs free entropy of species i • kB: is Boltzmann's constant • : is the mole fraction of species i Ue = ?

Mathematical development The equation has the following general solution: D&H say that the total potential inside the sphere is Bi is a constant that represents potential added by the ionic atmosphere and be caused non-ideal behavior.
Mathematical development The definition of the Gibbs free entropy is: paper Debye in 1924reformulated his original paper with Hückel (1923), which dealtwith osmotic coefficient. This equation (Debye-Hückel limiting law) is one studies in modern physical chemistry textbooks.
Extended Debye-Hückel Equation The assumptions can be challenged: • Complete dissociation: Ion association may take place, particularly with ions of higher charge. • Weak electrolytes: A weak electrolyte is not fully dissociated. • Ions are spherical and are not polarized: Many ions such as the nitrate ion NO3- are manifestly not spherical and Polyatomic ions are also polarizable. • Role of the solvent: The solvent is not a structureless medium. The water molecules in aqueous solution are both dipolar and polarizable. One such Extended Debye-Hückel Equation is:
