Experimental studies and some empirical relations pertaining to the viscosity of concentrated aqueous solutions of alkali halides,

Viscosity of aqueous solutions of 15 alkali halides in the whole concentration range exceeding 1 M in dependence of the temperature between 10 and 40° centigrades is compiled from the literature and the authors and collaborators own measurements. Empirical relations for the concentration dependence are given. An explanation is attempted using a model of point charge distribution in a continuous medium of dielectric constant depending on electric field strength.
