Corrections to the Fuoss–Onsager Theory of Electrolytes

Abstract
Mathematical corrections are made to the theory of Fuoss and Onsager for the conductivity of ionic solutions to first order in the concentration. The theory is extended to cover the case of asymmetric binary electrolytes; it is found that in this case the results are strongly affected by deviations of the equilibrium ion pair distribution function from that predicted by the Debye–Hückel theory. The results of the conductivity theory are compared to corresponding results of the equilibrium theory.
