Lattice models for salt solutions have attracted and continue to attract interest [1]. Ions in a salt solution are regarded as occupying lattice sites, the lattice parameter increasing as a solution is diluted; solvent molecules occupy the interstices of the lattice. This model for salt solutions generates interest because the distribution of ions about a central reference j-ion is therefore known. This theory requires that \(\ln \gamma_{\pm}\) is a linear function of \(\left(\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{i}} / \mathrm{m}^{0}\right)^{1 / 3}\) for salt-i; the cube-root law. This dependence is observed for reasonably concentrated salt solutions [2]. Unfortunately convincing evidence for lattice structures is not forthcoming. For example, the electrical conductivities of salt solutions cannot be understood in terms of lattice structures.
