The redox potentials of M{sup n+}/M (M{sup n+} = Cu{sup 2+}, Pb{sup 2+}, Sn{sup 2+}, Cd{sup 2+}, Ag{sup +}, Zn{sup 2+}, Hg{sup 2+}), M{sup n+}/M {sup (n{minus}m)+} (Fe{sup 3+}/Fe{sup 2+}, Fe(CN){sub 6}3{minus}/Fe(CN){sub 6}{sup 4{minus}}), and AgX/Ag, X{sup {minus}} (X = Cl, Br, and I) have been measured in aqueous solutions of ammonium nitrate (1--14 M). The variation of salvation of ions, characterized by the solvent transfer coefficient f{sup tr}, is calculated from the normal redox potentials of the systems. For all the cases, the potential of the ferricinium/ferrocene system (Fe{sup +}/Fc) is used as a reference of potential. It appears as a general trend that when the concentration of salt increases from 1 to 14 M, the potentials of the systems vary slightly, indicating weak interactions between these solutes and the salt. The examined ions can be classified into two groups: those that are less solvated as the concentration of NH{sub 4}NO{sub 3} increases (CU{sup 2+}, Cd{sup 2+}, Zn{sup 2+}, Cl{sup {minus}}, Br{sup {minus}}, I{sup {minus}}) and those that are more solvated, (Pb{sup 2+}, Ag{sup +}, Hg{sup 2+}, Sn{sup 2+}). The solubility constants of the AgX salts in the H{sub 2}O + NH{sub 4}NO{sub 3} mixtures are also calculated.
