How Hydrotropy Explains the Influence of Dissolved Gases on the Properties of Aqueous Salt Solutions
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: . Viewed in terms of hydrotrope-like aggregation between gas and anions, these results explain the conductivity anomalies reported in earlier experiments. Altogether, the effects on the conductivity due to the dissolved gas arise not from local kinetic changes but from mesoscale solvent structuring driven by gas-ion-water cooperativity, providing a molecular-level explanation for gas-mediated ion-specific phenomena in aqueous electrolytes.
