Abstract: Solubility data of KClO4 in mixed solvents, namely, methanol-benzene, methanol-toluene, methanol-Carbontetrachloride and methanol-cyclohexane, are reported in this paper, The "free ion" concentrations of KClO4 and KNO3 are calculated by using the association constants given by A,D'Aprano and C. W. Davies[2] of these salts in methanol, The medium activity coefficients fMXexpressed in terms of S0/Sm and (S0)±/(Sm)± are approximately equal and related to rnol fraction XNc of nonelectrolytes in the mixed solvents by the following empirical formula: lgfMX = kXNe where So and Sm are solubilities of salts in methanol and mixed solvensts respectively; the Subscript ± is used for the "free ion" and k is a constant. The formula for the Solvation number of electrolyte n+ +n-=-2lgfMX/lgφp is not valid for KClO4 in these Mixed solvents, where n+ +n- is the sum of the solvation number of positive and negative ion; φp is the volume fraction of methanol in mixed solvents, This result indicates that the solvation layer of ClO4- is not entirely formed by the methanol molecules and the nonelectrolyte exerts some effects on the solvation layer too.experimental data of KNO3, formulas of the solubility and of Solvation numbers are quoted from the former paper of li, Huang and liu[1].
