Abstract
The mixture {yNaCl + (1 − y)CaCl2}(aq) has been studied with the hygrometric method at the temperature 25°C. The water activities were measured at total molalities from 0.25 mol-kg−1 to near saturation for different ionic-strength fractions y of NaCl with y = 0.33, 0.50, and 0.67. The obtained data allow the calculation of osmotic coefficients. The experimental results are compared with the predictions of the Zdanovskii–Stokes–Robinson (ZSR), Kusik and Meissner (KM), Robinson and Stokes (RS), Lietzke and Stoughton (LS II), Reilly–Wood–Robinson (RWR), and Pitzer models. From the measured osmotic coefficients, the Pitzer ionic mixing parameters θNa Ca and ψNa Ca Cl are determined and are used to predict the solute activity coefficients in the mixtures. The excess Gibbs energy is also determined. These results are compared with those given in the literature.
