    The Debye-Huckel theory proposes that in concentrated solutions, activity coefficients deviate from unity due to inter-ionic forces between ions of strong electrolytes. The theory states that each ion has an ionic atmosphere of opposite charge surrounding it. Only in infinitely dilute solutions are these inter-ionic forces negligible, resulting in activity coefficients equal to unity. The Debye-Huckel theory provides an explanation for why activity coefficients differ from unity in concentrated solutions of strong electrolytes.

    Debye-Huckel Limiting LAW

    • In Infinitely Dilute solutions the activity coefficients of strong


    electrolytes are unity but in concentrated solutions the value of activity
    coefficients does not remain unity
    • Deviation from ideal behavior increase with the increase in strength of
    solution

     Debye Hackel Proposed proposed a theory of for deviation of activity coefficients from
    unity. This Theory is known as Debye Huckel theory of dilute ionic solutions or Debye
    Huckel theory of activity coefficients

     According to This Theory


     Inter ionic Forces exist between the ions of Strong Electrolyte

     There is an ionic atmosphere surrounding an ion.

     The ionic Atmosphere carries a net charge opposite to that of ions

     Only at infinite dilution, the inter-ionic forces are negligible and activity Co-efficent would
    be unity
