rate of migration of a property
= measured by its flux, J
flux, J = quantity of that property passing
through per unit area per unit time
experimental observation
= flux of a property is usually proportional to the
slope of the variation of a related property
with distance

Transport Numbers
transport number, t,
= the fraction of total current carried by a
specific ion
for a solution with 2 kinds of ions
* cation transport number: t + = I+ / I
* anion transport number: t = I / I
* since I = sum of the cation and anion current,
then, t+ + t = 1
Transport numbers
• The contributions of cations and anions to the total
electric current may be different:
