Abstract

The viscosity B-coefficients of the aqueous chlorides of Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Sr2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+ and Cr3+ have been calculated from the parameters of an empirical equation of the form η = a0 exp(b0cM + d0cM2) and were found to be comparable with literature values. The variation of B-values with temperature between 20 - 50 °C has been described in terms of structure making/breaking behaviour of the cations.
