By increasing the ionic streangth, the activity coefficent decreases, but how does it equal 1 according to debye huckels equation
Accepted Answer
According to the Debye-Hückel equation, the activity coefficient does not equal 1. The Debye-Hückel equation is a limiting law that describes the behavior of ions in dilute solutions, where the ionic strength is low. However, at higher ionic strengths, the Debye-Hückel equation is no longer valid, and the activity coefficient can deviate significantly from 1.
