We consider the dielectric response of angularly dependent site-site theories for models of aqueous saline solutions. We find that we can use relatively low order approximations of the angularly dependent correlation functions with correct long ranged behavior to obtain good estimates of the dielectric constant for three site water models and simple 1-1 salts. We find that the solution thermodynamics results for this level of theory, as measured by the Kirkwood G integrals and the excess chemical potentials, are in good quantitative agreement with simulation even when the details of the short ranged structure is not as accurately determined. We find that the dielectric constant predictions of both the pure fluid and the salt-water mixtures are similarly predictive, in comparison to both simulation and experiment.

The colligative properties of a solution depend only on the number, not on the identity, of solute species dissolved. The concentration terms in the equations for various colligative properties (freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure) pertain to all solute species present in the solution. Nonelectrolytes dissolve physically without dissociation or any other accompanying process. Each molecule that dissolves yields one...
