WATER AND ITS SOLUTIONS AT HIGH-PRESSURES AND LOW-TEMPERATURES

The unique properties of water and aqueous solutions at low temperatures and high pressures arc discussed. Special emphasis is given to the supercooled metastable state of water. Some anomalous thermodynamic and kinetic properties of supercooled water are given. It is attempted to describe the p,T dependence of these properties and to correlate them to the different models proposed for the description of supercooled water. High pressure NMR studies on supercooled aqueous solutions of some alkali and alkali earth halides are presented.
