✦ Synopsis

Ah&act -The interaction of hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) with alkali halides in water and in formamide solution has been studied by employing conductance measurements. Conductance data of sodium and potassium halides in water and in formamide saturated by HMT at 50.0 & 0.05" are reported at several temperatures within a range of 30 to 70". Plots of -log S against l/T showed a break at the saturation temperature, where two straight lines intersect one another. Divergence of the pairs of straight lines in these ternary homogeneous systems has been found to be highly influenced by the structural properties of the electrolytes. The transitional behaviour in the conductance values is explained for the system, in terms of solute-solvent interactions involved in the electrolyte-solvent-nonelectrolyte systems.
