Liesegang patterns: Effect of dissociation of the invading electrolyte
The effect of dissociation of the invading electrolyte on the formation of Liesegang bands is investigated. We find, using organic compounds with known dissociation constants, that the spacing coefficient, 1 + p, that characterizes the position of the nth band as x(n) similar to (1 + p)(n) decreases with increasing dissociation constant, K-d. Theoretical arguments are developed to explain these experimental findings and to calculate explicitly the K-d dependence of 1 + p.
