The Partial Pressure of Hydrogen Chloride Above its Solutions in BB Dichloroethyl Ether and Anisole and the Calculation of the Heat and Entropy of Solution

Early attempts to explain phenomena associated with some solutions, such as electrical conductance, were handicaped by the overemphasis of the Arrhenius theory as well as by a lack of data concerning non-aqueous solutions. However the Debye-Huckel theory of interionic attraction inspired such widespread study of many different solvents that today we have some understanding of the behavior of dilute aqueous solutions and of some extremely dilute non-aqueous solutions. |Another theory which caused renewed activity in such work was the Bronsted theory of acids and bases. According to this theory an acid may be defined as a substance which possesses an active proton and a base as a substance which is capable of accepting a proton. This theory led to the consideration of non-aqueous solutions in which the electrometric and conductrimetric methods of measuring acid strengths failed to yield results which would be applicable, as was pointed out by Chesterman and Hall and Werner.
