Abstract: Based on the equivalent circuit model of a piezoelectric crystal with both sides of electrodes immersed in liquid and the solution of the oscillating equation of Pierce oscillator, the relationship formula between the crystal oscillation frequency in electrolyte solution (F1) and the specific conductance of the solution (K) is derived as follows, Fl=(1/2π)(1/C1+1/C2)(1/Xe)[θ2(Re2+Xe2)K2+2θRex+1]. The validity of the Fl-x relationship is demonstrated in KCl and Na2SO4 aqueous solutions.
