Critical temperatures (7",) and densities (p,)Ibr aqt,eous C~,CI: solutions were measured using two difl'erent optical techniques. Measurements of 7", were made using sealed silica capillaries containing 0.3. [).5, 1.0, and 2.0 molal CaCI2(aq) solutions. The T, values from these measurements are 661. 666. 678, and 738 K. respectively. Critical temperatures were also determined from measured homogenization temperatures and the observed mode of homogenization {i.e.. to the liquid or vapor phase or by lading of the meniscus) in synthetic fluid inclusions. Critical temperatures determined by the second method Ibr 1.0. 2.0, and 3.0 molal CaClz(aq) solutions are 68(I. 739. and 838 K. respectively. The T, for 4.11 molal CaCl.,laq) was fot, nd to be in excess of 933 K. The capillary-tube measurements yield approximate valt, es of the critical density p,. but do not give the critical pressure P,. Approximate wdues of P, are available, however. from other sources.
