β¦ Synopsis
The theory of multilayer adsorption for concentrated aqueous electrolytes developed by Ally and Braunstein (1998) is used to calculate the thermodynamic activities and osmotic coefficients of supersaturated solutions of (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 (aq) and NaCl (aq) which are among man-made aerosols of atmospheric importance. The basis of the model is the postulate of Stokes and Robinson that concentrated aqueous electrolytes may be viewed as an irregular ionic lattice structure. Application to the electrolytes mentioned above is a special case of the generalized results which are proven (Ally and Braunstein, Braunstein and Ally) to be consistent with the Gibbs-Duhem equation. Calculated thermodynamic properties are compared against experimental data from isopiestic and electrodynamic balance (EDB) measurements.

The water activities and osmotic coefficients of aqueous solutions of {(NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 + Li 2 SO 4 } and {(NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 + Na 2 SO 4 } have been determined at a temperature of 298.15 K with a hygrometric method, at molalities in the region 0.2 mol β’ kg -1 to saturation of the solutes for different fr
In the mixed electrolyte solution {xK2SO4 + (1-x)MgSO4}(aq), the osmotic coefficients have been measured by the isopiestic method at the temperature 298.15 K. Scatchard's neutral-electrolyte method and Pitzer-Kim's treatment were used for the activity coefficients of the K2SO4 and MgSO4 calculation.
Isopiestic vapor-pressure measurements were made for Lu2(SO4)3(aq) at molalities from (0.35379 to 0.66478) molβ’kg -1 and for H2SO4(aq) at molalities from (0.27470 to 0.70512) molβ’kg -1 at the temperature T=298.15 K using KCl(aq) as the isopiestic reference standard; results for Lu2(SO4)3(aq) extend
