The viscosities of multicomponent electrolyte solutions in water, determined at 30°, have been analysed by means of Jones-Do ee quation. The results are interpreted in terms of solute-solvent interaction by the magnitude of B-coefficient of the Jones-Dole equation. Positive 8 values have been found in all systems, suggesting the structure promoter nature, except in tbe case of H₂O+LiCI+KCI(C) system indicating no change in the structure breaking tendency of the KCI solutions.
