Abstract
Activity coeffxients of silver succinate and sebacate in aqueous sodium nitrate were determined by a solubility method. The silver ion concentration was measured potentiometrically in solutions of various ionic strengths wing an empirical calibration equation. A simple approximate theoretical model for these "bipolar" ions is observed to be in good agreement with results inferred from the electrostatic contribution to the activity coefficients. It treats a bipolar ion as two point charges separated by a fixed distance in the solvent. Its applicability to zwitterions is also considered. These studies are used to discuss the interaction of certain activated complexes of chemical reactions with their ionic atmospheres. Studies of bipolar ions also provide information about nearest neighbor interaction in polyelectrolytes
