Abstract The densities of the major sea salts (NaCl, Na2SO4, MgCl2, and MgSO4) have been measured from 25 to 95°C and to saturation. These results have been combined with literature data and fitted to equations of the form $$\Delta d = Am{\text{ }} + {\text{ }}Bm^{3/2} {\text{ }} + {\text{ }}Cm^2 {\text{ }} + {\text{ }}Dm^{5/2} $$ where Δd=d−do (do is the density of water) and A, B, and C, etc., are polynomial functions of temperature. The standard deviations of the fits were better than ±50×10−6 g-cm−3 for all the salts from 0 to 95°C and to saturation. The apparent molal volumes Vϕ of the salts have been fitted to the equations of Pitzer. The infinite dilution values of Vϕ were in good agreement with literature data, provided the results were not overfit. The large deviations of Vϕ for MgSO4 from additivity as a function of concentration were attributed to the formation of MgSO4 ion pairs.
