I got confused in dealing with ionic strength.
In calculating ionic strength, do we consider the composition of the solution?
Take for example:
Solution 1 has
20 ml of 0.1 M NaCl and 35ml of 0.2 M CaCl
Solution 2 has
25 ml of 0.1 M NaCl and 30 ml of 0.2 M CaCl
Would the ionic strength be different for the two or be the same?
In other words, does ionic strength depends on the composition?
Ionic Strength:
I = 0.5*sum(c*z^2)
Ionic Strength:
I = 0.5*sum(c*z^2)
I = 0.5*(0.1*(+1)^2+0.2*(+1)^2+0.1*(-1)^2+0.…
I = 0.5*(0.6)
I = 0.3
So, are the two solutions going to have an ionic of 0.3 or would they have different ionic strengths?
Thanks in advance.
