Abstract
(1) We have measured the incompatible phase separation that occurs in a polyethylene glycol-sodium dextran sulphate-sodium chloride-water system and have determined a critical point. (2) We have measured the activity coefficients of sodium chloride in critical-point concentrations of polyethylene glycol and sodium dextran sulphate respectively, and the osmotic coefficient of sodium dextran sulphate at the critical-point concentration. (3) With use of the relevant thermodynamic equations for a quaternary ionic system, we have determined the interaction coefficients between polyethylene glycol and dextran sulphate and between polyethylene glycol and sodium chloride. The former could be due mainly to volume exclusion, but the latter is too large to be explained on that basis.
