“…At constant temperature, a typical behaviour of α(T, m) with respect to molality is shown in figure 7 where the present and literature cubic expansion coefficients of sodium chloride solutions and potassium chloride solutions are plotted for T = 298.15 K. Cubic expansion coefficients based on 5 K or 10 K intervals were reported explicitly by Gibson and Loeffler, (8,20) Jones et al, (9) and Rogers and Pitzer, (18) the additional values were calculated here from the available literature densities ρ(T, m). (66,67,69,71,73) Although the α(T, m) values were derived from different sources their scatter is reasonable. Since we are more interested in the temperature dependence, the α(T, m) are limited only to three molalities at each temperature, and all the available cubic expansion coefficients were fitted only for T = 298.…”
