A contribution to the study of ternary saturated electrolyte solutions

A quantity has been introduced, whose dependence on the composition along t he branches of the solubility isotherms of ternary systems consisting of tw o salts with a common ion and water exhibits breaks, which can be explained by the introduction of a previously unobserved configuration of the ternar y saturated solution. In the respective region, a saturated solution in a t ernary system may undergo second-order phase transitions to achieve specifi c configurations that are not derived from the structure of the binary satu rated solution of the particular solute. It is assumed that further study o f this phenomenon could contribute to a better understanding of the process es occurring in concentrated electrolyte solutions.
