Washburn numbers: Part 1.—The electromotive force method for alkali-metal chlorides in the methanol + water and dioxan + water systems

Abstract

The e.m.f. method has been used to study the transport of water in solutions of alkali-metal chlorides in methanol + water and dioxan + water systems. A detailed description of the method is given. Specimen results indicate a dependence of the Washburn number of water wW° on solvent structure.
