What effect does the charge of ion in solution have on the activity coefficient? How does this effect change as a function of the ionic strength? ​

Answer:

A close look at the Debeye-Hückel equation shows that γ decreases as the ion charge increases, the hydrated ionic radius decreases and as the ionic strength of the solution increases. The effect of ionic strength on the activity coefficient strongly depends on the charge of the ion
