A simple, steady-state fluorescence experiment is described in which the dynamic quenching of the quinine dication fluorescence by Cl-and Br-is studied. Solutions of sufficiently low ionic strength enable ionic activities to be taken into account by means of the Debye–Hückel equation. The experiment demonstrates how the rate of a reaction depends on the ionic strength of the medium. The experiment represents a unique example of the application of the Debye–Hückel equation without the use of simplifying assumptions regarding the calculation of ionic activity coefficients. The experiment also shows how the observed decrease in the Stern–Volmer rate constant with increasing ionic strength can be quantitatively modeled to determine the relative efficiencies of Cl-and Br-fluorescent quenching of quinine.
