Ionic Conductivity and Ion Association in Aqueous NaCl plus Mannitol Solutions at Temperatures from 293.15 to 313.15 K

Molar conductances for sodium chloride have been measured in the solvent system mannitol-water covering the solvent composition range from pure water to saturated aqueous mannitol at temperature from 293.15 to 313.15 K at 5 K intervals.
