Abstract

Isopiestic vapor-pressure measurements were made at the temperature 298.15 K for aqueous KCl + MgCl2 solutions using KCl(aq) as the reference standard. The measurements for these ternary solutions were made at KCl ionic strength fractions of y=0.0, 0.1989, 0.3996, 0.5993, 0.7925 and 1.0 (with two additional sets at y=0.0, 0.2021, 0.3998, 0.6125, 0.8209 and 1.0) for the ionic strength range from 0.4014 to 6.2790 mol⋅kg−1. Our results, and those from two previous isopiestic studies, were combined and used with previously determined parameters for KCl(aq) and those determined here for MgCl2(aq) to evaluate mixing parameters for the Clegg-Pitzer-Brimblecombe model. These combined data were also used to determine the mixing parameters of the Scatchard model. Both sets of model parameters are valid for ionic strengths of I≤12.8 mol⋅kg−1, where higher-order electrostatic effects have been included in the Clegg-Pitzer-Brimblecombe mixture model. The activity coefficients for KCl and MgCl2 were calculated from these models and the results for KCl were compared to experimental data from Emf measurements. The Scatchard model interaction parameters were used for calculation of the excess Gibbs energy as a function of the ionic strength and ionic strength fraction of KCl. The Zdanovskii-Robinson-Stokes rule of linearity for mixing of isopiestic solutions was tested.
