Thermodynamic Properties of {NaCl-CsCl-LiCl}(aq) at T=298.15 K: Water Activities, Osmotic and Activity Coefficients

A hygrometric method has been used to measure water activities for the quaternary aqueous system NaCl-CsCl-LiCl-H₂O as a function of the solutes concentrations at T=298.15 K. The measurements were performed by measuring the diameter of solution droplets as a function of the surrounding relative humidity. The total ionic strength range covered in this study was about 0.6 to 6 mol?kg^?1 for different ionic strength fractions y of one of the three solutes ranging from y=1/3 to 1/2, whereas the constant ratio r of molalities of the two other solutes was fixed at unity. The osmotic coefficients of these aqueous mixtures were calculated over this ionic strength range. The obtained data were treated by the ECA I and ECA II rules, and the Pitzer and Kim, and Pitzer-Dinane models. The solute activity coefficients of components in the studied mixtures were also determined for different ionic strength fractions of the different solutes.
