[mstry]_. In this approach, the osmotic coefficient of each individual salt is calculated using the normal Pitzer model based on its respective concentration. Then, an effective osmotic coefficient is calculated as the concentration-weighted average of the individual osmotic coefficients. For example, in a mixture of 0.5 M NaCl and 0.5 M KBr, one would calculate the osmotic coefficient for each salt using a concentration of 0.5 M and an ionic strength of 1 M. Then, one would average the two resulting osmotic coefficients to obtain an effective osmotic coefficient for the mixture. (Note: in the paper referenced below, the effective osmotic coefficient is determined by weighting using the "effective molality" rather than the true molality. Subsequent checking and correspondence with the author confirmed that the weight factor should be the true molality, and that is what is implemented in pyEQL.) References: .. [may] May, P.
