Solubility of NaF in NaF+NaX+H2O (X = ClO4 and NO3) ternary systems and density and refractive index of the saturated solutions at 298.15 K
Data on the solubilities of NaF were determined in NaF + NaClO4 + H2O and NaF + NaNO3 + H2O ternary systems, and the density and refractive index of the saturated solutions were measured at 298.15 K. The solubility data and physical properties were determined for different molalities of the second electrolyte present in the ternary systems, within a range of 0 to 1.0 mol center dot kg(-1). Experimental data on the density and refractive index were fit to polynomials as a function of NaClO4 or NaNO3 concentration. Finally, a thermodynamic description was made of the solid-liquid equilibrium for the two ternary systems, based on the Reilly, Wood, and Robinson (R-W-R) model for calculation of the mean ionic activity coefficient of NaF in the ternary saturated solution. The Bromley model was used for the calculation of the activity and osmotic coefficients of the binary systems because these are required for making calculations with the R-W-R model.
