Abstract

Results from a detailed study are presented in which we analyzed the shape of critical lines of binary aqueous solutions like H2O + common salt and H2O + hydrocarbon. We also present the results from a comparative analysis of data on the critical parameters of such solutions reported in the literature. The critical lines of the solutions are analyzed in different projections. Accuracy, reliability, and consistency of the data considered are estimated, and recommendations on using them for scientific and practical purposes are given.
