Systems with aqueous-electrolyte-solution liquid phases
The treatment presented in the previous section can be extended directly to elec-
trolyteH2O systems. For example, eq 1 for a NaClH2O system can be written

For a simple NaCl aqueous solution, xNaCl = 1 xH2O , the following relation is de-
rived by steps similar to those that led to eq 9:

To calculate ice-solution capillary pressure, the quantities in the integrand must be
calculated. These quantities are
1. The mole fractions of the solute and solvent
2. The melting point of the solution phase in bulk
4. The molar entropy of the liquid solution
5. The molar volume of the liquid solution
6. The temperature derivative of the solute chemical potential.
