Abstract

The activity and activity coefficient of water in water and ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) mixtures were determined by vapor pressure measurements between pure water and pure fused salt at 298.15 K. For a wide range of mole fractions of salt, (0.3 < X ≤ 1) the behaviour of water can be described very accurately by a "one parameter" empirical equation which involves activity coefficient, γE, mole fraction of EAN, and limiting Gibbs energy of the dilution of water in pure fused salt, [Formula: see text]:[Formula: see text]Interpretation of experimental results was also attempted by use of the B.E.T. equation. It appears that the energy, ΔEd = E − EL, in those solutions is very low. Partial molar volumes of water and salt are also discussed in relation to empirical and B.E.T. equations. It can be shown that the two equations lead to similar results.
