where MH2O is the molar mass of water (0.018 015 28 kg mol1).
Freezing point of the solution phase in bulk
We fitted by regression the freezing-point depression data calculated by the For-
tran program FREZCHEM (Marion and Grant 1994) for the H2ONaCl expression:
T0 = 273.15 K f mNaCl (aq)
(25)
where Kf is an approximate cryoscopic constant for the H2ONaCl system, which
we found to be 4.12207 K kg mol1. This compares with the expected cryoscopic
constant for a single electrolyte completely disassociated in water of 3.72 K kg
mol1 (Atkins 1990).

The starting point of the calculation (eq 26) is the molar entropy of pure water at
a reference temperature (Tr = 273.15 K) and pressure (pr = 0.1 MPa), for which the
standard-state molar entropy, Sm,Tr , pr [H2O(l)], is 69.950 J K1 mol1 (Chase et al.

1985).
Haida et al. (1974) reported the entropy change due to the constant-pressure
cooling of water from 298.15 K to its freezing point, ∆T =273.15Sm [H2O(l), pr ] = 6.615

for water (Hill 1990):
