Abstract
Ternary aqueous solutions of MgSO4 and K2SO4 have been studied by the hygrometric method at 25°C. The relative humidity of this system is measured at total molalities from 0.35 mol-kg−1 to about saturation for three ionic-strength fractions (y = 0.25, 0.50, and 0.80 of MgSO4. The data allow calculation of water activities and osmotic coefficients. From these measurements, the Pitzer ionic mixing parameters are determined and used to predict the solute activity coefficients in the mixture. The results are used to calculate the excess Gibbs energy at total molalities for ionic-strength fraction y.
