Dedicated to Dr. Karl Heinzinger on the occasion of his 60th birthday
The experimental values of density, viscosity, electric conductivity and diffusion coefficients of
trace ions in aqueous solutions of lithium chloride in wide ranges of concentration and temperature
are collected and discussed. The thermal expansivity and the activation energies of viscous flow,
electric conductance and diffusion of trace ions show significant changes at a molality around
12 mol/kg, beyond which the hydration requirement is not satisfied.
