title: A unified theory of the thermodynamic properties of aqueous electrolytes to extreme temperatures and pressures.
abstract: A new theoretical treatment has been developed for predicting the thermodynamic properties of electrolytes up to and beyond the critical temperature of water (973 K and at pressures up to 1000 MPa). The model is based upon the classical Born equation corrected for non-Born hydration effects. The temperature and pressure behavior of electrolytes can now be accurately predicted from existing low temperature data. Only two constants are needed for each electrolyte at all temperatures and pressures, where data exist to test the theory.
