The equilibrium distribution of chloride or nitrate counter-ions of K or NH4co-ions and of water is determined experimentally at different degrees of ionization X[xbar] of hydrophylic weak-base aminated polyvinyl-alcohol membranes. These data are analyzed and explained in terms of thermodynamics interrelating the molality of fixed-charge densities and of counter-ions to that of the amount of water and of diffused salt in the membrane.
