The mixture {yMgSO4 + (1 − y)(NH4)2SO4}(aq) has been studied with the hygrometric method at the
temperature 298.15 K. The relative humidities of this system are measured at total molalities from 0.2
mol·kg-1 to about saturation for different ionic-strength fractions of MgSO4 with y = 0.2, 0.5, and 0.8.
The results allow the deduction of new water activities and osmotic coefficients. The experimental results
are compared with the predictions of the ECA law (extended composed additivity) and the Zdanovskii−Stokes−Robinson (ZSR), Pitzer, and LS II models. From these measurements, the new Pitzer mixing
ionic parameters are determined and used to predict the solute activity coefficients in the mixture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
