Abstract

Using the flicker-noise method (FNM), we investigated the oscillations of clusters in aqueous solutions of NaCl in the range of concentrations from 0.1 to 26.0 mass %. It has been established that in the solutions oscillators whose masses are similar to the masses of the models of aggregates of solvate clusters of ion pairs (SCIP) of salt with a different water content are present. In diluted solutions (<10%), the elementary SCIP has the form NaCl· 40H2O. For the entire range of concentrations the SCIPs are given by structures based on the cubic system of the sodium chloride system. The base structure for them is a cube formed from 12 SCIPs of salt. The largest cluster revealed by the FNM method for all investigated concentrations of salt had a mass of ≈1.5 million D. The presence of NaCl in water leads to a collapse of its cluster structure, except for the smallest clusters (H2O)10…11, whose concentration increases with temperature or solution concentration. The distribution of SCIPs changes dramatically at a temperature above 300 K. The possible structures of SCIPs are given and the mechanism of their formation is discussed.
