The cloud point temperature of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) was measured in aqueous solutions containing salt mixtures. Solutions were made with SO42-, a strongly hydrated anion, I-, a weakly hydrated anion, or both anions together with a common alkali metal counterion: Li+, Na+, K+ or Cs+. Nonadditive behavior was observed when the MI concentration was increased in the presence of 0.2 mol.L-1 M2SO4. Although complex changes in the cloud point temperature were observed with all four metal counter cations, the magnitude of the effects differed substantially amongst them. More specifically, SO42- was able to attract cations away from I- in each case, but its propensity to do so depended on the relative strength of the cation-iodide versus the cation-sulfate interactions. When the counterion was stripped away from it, I- became more hydrated and acted more like a strongly hydrated anion. A competitive binding model was employed to determine the fraction of cations bound to SO42- in the presence of I-, allowing for a qualitative comparison of the fraction of strongly hydrated I- ions that was produced with all four cations. K+ showed the greatest relative affinity for SO42-. As such, experiments performed with this cation led to the greatest fraction of I- that was more hydrated and displayed the strongest nonadditive behavior. By contrast, Cs+ showed the weakest relative affinity for SO42-, resulting in the least pronounced nonadditivity. This work demonstrates that the identity of the counter cation plays a critical role in the nonadditive behavior of salt mixtures when both weakly and strongly hydrated anions are present.[GRAPHICS].
