“…For liquid solutions at normal temperatures and pressures, phase equilibria can be described by an appropriate activitycoefficient model. Useful activity-coefficient models for multicomponent aqueous mixtures of strong electrolytes having ions of similar size include those of Guggenheim and Turgeon (1955), Newman (1973), Haynes et al (1989b), Bromley (1974), Cruz and Renon (1978), Chen et al (1982), Chen and Evans (1986), Haghtalab and Vera (1988) and, most notably, Pitzer (1973. All of these models are based on the DebyeHuckel theory; therefore, they use a single ion-size (distanceof-closest-approach) parameter to describe all ion-ion interactions in solution.…”
