In this work, the water activities of the NaCl鈥揅aCl2鈥揌2O and KCl鈥揅aCl2鈥揌2O ternary systems and of their sub-binary systems NaCl鈥揌2O and KCl鈥揌2O were measured using an isopiestic method at 323.15 K. The isopiestic composition line for the NaCl鈥揅aCl2鈥揌2O system was found to obey the Zdanovskii rule very well, whereas the KCl鈥揅aCl2鈥揌2O system deviated slightly. The addition of NaCl to an aqueous solution of CaCl2 decreased its water activity for all CaCl2 molalities. However, KCl was found to decrease and increase the water activity at low and high CaCl2 molality, respectively. The turning point appears at 8.0 mol路kg鈥? CaCl2 solution. The Pitzer鈥揝imonson鈥揅legg (PSC) model was applied to represent the water activity of the two ternary systems, and the calculated results are discussed.
