The composition of fluid inclusions in the H2O-NaCl-CaCl2 system has been generally graphically estimated using the melting temperatures of hydrohalite ( Tm-HH ) and ice ( Tm-ice ). Here we present two equations that can be used to calculate the relative proportion of NaCl ( i. e. , NaCt/[ NaCl + CaCl2 ], or XNaCl) and the total salinity ( i. e. , NaCl + CaCl2, wt% ) for fluid inclusions with ice as the last melting phase. XNaCl can be calculated from Tm-HH using the following equation:y= ( a + bx)-1/c where y is XNaCl, x is Tm-HH, a =0. 33124402, b = -0.031518028, and c =0. 22932736. In the cases where only Tm-ice is measured and Tm-HH is not known, Tm-ice can be used as the maximum possible Tm-HH to calculate the maximum value of XNaCl using the above equation. In these cases, the following equation can be used to calculate the maximum total salinity: y = (a +bx +cx2) -1 where y is salinity, x is Tm-HH, a = 0. 057184817, b = 0. 00078565757, and c = 5. 7262766E-6. Because the isothems in the field of ice are sub-parallel to the NaCl-CaCl2 binary side in the H2O-NaCl-CaCl2 ternary system, the errors in salinity calculation introduced by the above approximation are small ( less than 2 wt% ).
