description

The recently obtained analytical solution of the mean spherical approximation has been used to calculate thermodynamic and structural properties of aqueous solutions of asymmetric electrolytes. The same approximation has also been used to calculate structure functions of pure and mixed molten salts. The agreement between experimental or “quasi-experimental” structure functions and those obtained within the framework of the MSA is quite good especially when the ionic radii are obtained by fitting the long wavelength limit of the structure functions to the isothermal compressibility of the system, under the condition that the diameter ratio is the same as in the crystal.
