Abstract
There is little known about the transport behavior of ions in electrolyte solutions at very high concentrations and there is currently no one widely-accepted theory or equation to describe it over the whole concentration range. In this work, the ionic conductivity (κ) of lithium salts in aqueous and non-aqueous electrolyte solutions have been measured as a function of concentration (C) and have been fitted to known theoretical and empirical equations. A new, isothermal, semi-empirical equation based on free volume theory: κ=AC exp[−γVo/Vf C] where Vo and Vf are the occupied and unoccupied “free” volume, respectively, gives better fit over the whole concentration range than the known equations. Vf and V02, ϕ, the apparent molar volume of the salt, were calculated from density measurements and it is found that free volume decreases with concentration in both the aqueous and non-aqueous solutions over the whole range. We hypothesize that the changes to transport properties in solution with concentration are caused by structural changes that switches the conductivity mechanism from vehicular to a Grotthuss-type or a mixture of both. We, for the first time, correlate the origin of Cmax, the concentration of highest conductivity, to the eutectic composition in the salt-solvent phase diagram.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
