Example Values
Example values of activity coefficients of sodium chloride in aqueous solution are given in the table. In an ideal solution, these values would all be unity. The deviations tend to become larger with increasing molality and temperature, but with some exceptions.
| Molality (mol/kg) | 25 °C | 50 °C | 100 °C | 200 °C | 300 °C | 350 °C |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.05 | 0.820 | 0.814 | 0.794 | 0.725 | 0.592 | 0.473 |
| 0.50 | 0.680 | 0.675 | 0.644 | 0.619 | 0.322 | 0.182 |
| 2.00 | 0.669 | 0.675 | 0.641 | 0.450 | 0.212 | 0.074 |
| 5.00 | 0.873 | 0.886 | 0.803 | 0.466 | 0.167 | 0.044 |

Famous quotes containing the word values:
“Writing ought either to be the manufacture of stories for which there is a market demand—a business as safe and commendable as making soap or breakfast foods—or it should be an art, which is always a search for something for which there is no market demand, something new and untried, where the values are intrinsic and have nothing to do with standardized values.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“Parents ought, through their own behavior and the values by which they live, to provide direction for their children. But they need to rid themselves of the idea that there are surefire methods which, when well applied, will produce certain predictable results. Whatever we do with and for our children ought to flow from our understanding of and our feelings for the particular situation and the relation we wish to exist between us and our child.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
