Conductivities of the Ternary Systems Y(NO 3 ) 3 +La(NO 3 ) 3 +H 2 O, La(NO 3 ) 3 +Ce(NO 3 ) 3 +H 2 O, La(NO 3 ) 3 +Nd(NO 3 ) 3 +H 2 O and Their Binary Subsystems at Different Temperatures

Electrical conductivities were measured for the ternary systems Y(NO3)3+La(NO3)3+H2O, La(NO3)3+Ce(NO3)3+H2O, La(NO3)3+Nd(NO3)3+H2O, and their binary subsystems Y(NO3)3+H2O, La(NO3)3+H2O, Ce(NO3)3+H2O, and Nd(NO3)3+H2O at (293.15, 298.15 and 308.15) K. The measured conductivities were used to test the generalized Young’s rule and the semi-ideal solution theory. The comparison results show that the generalized Young’s rule and the semi-ideal solution theory can yield good predictions for the conductivities of the ternary electrolyte solutions, implying that the conductivities of aqueous solutions of (1:3 + 1:3) electrolyte mixtures can be well predicted from those of their constituent binary solutions by the simple equations.
