Popis: A recently developed extension of the Debye−Huckel theory, the corrected Debye−Huckel theory, is applied to salt solutions as described in Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and experiment. On the basis of modern density functional analysis, the theory accounts for both long-range electrostatic interactions in a linear response approximation and short-range ion size effects by a generalized van der Waals analysis. In its simplest implementation, the corrected Debye−Huckel restricted primitive model (CDH−RPM) theory, all ions are taken to be of the same diameter d in which case the excluded volume effects vanish in the linear response domain. Comparison with MC simulations verify the a priori application of the CDH theory to RPM electrolytes over a wide range of concentrations. Here, we investigate the relationship between the appropriate effective diameter d and the real diameters d1 and d2 in simulated binary salt solutions. Moreover, in the experimental studies of salt solutions, the relationship between d an...
