molecules to the charged ions in the solutions. This results in the disruption
of the hydration spheres around the ions and hence less order in the solution;
(ii) this behaviour could be attributed to ion pairing between the vanadium
(III) ions and the sulphate–bisulphate ions in the solution.
The variation in the B-value with the increase in solution temperature could
be predicted from the rst mechanism. Increasing the solution temperature
should reduce the number of iceberg-like structures or the hydration spheres
in the solution. Hence, this should reduce the effects of the salt on the solu-
