Abstract
Experimental data reported in the literature indicate a strong dependence of the critical temperature of aqueous solutions of sodium chloride on salt concentration especially in the limit of pure water. Critical pressures and densities also show strong dependencies on salt concentration. We propose a new set of equations for the critical locus and compare the results with evaluations reported previously by a number of investigators. The new equations yield a better description of the experimental data from the limit of pure water to the highest salt concentration for which data are available (0.3 mass fraction of sodium chloride).
