The solubilities and refractive indices of the NaBr鈥揅aBr2鈥揌2O system at 288.15 K were determined using the isothermal equilibrium solution method. The phase diagram and refractive index diagram were drawn for this system at 288.15 K. The system belongs to the hydrate II type. The phase diagram is comprised of two invariant solubility points, three univariant solubility curves, and three areas of crystallization: NaBr路2H2O, NaBr and CaBr2路6H2O. Using the temperature-dependent formulas from the literature, the Pitzer parameters and the solubility product constants (ln Ksp) of NaBr路2H2O and NaBr were determined. Applying the Pitzer and Harvie鈥揥eare (HW) model, the solubility product constant of CaBr2路6H2O was fit with the solubilities in this research work, and then, the mean activity coefficients of sodium bromide and calcium bromide and the solubilities for the ternary system at 288.15 K were demonstrated. Comparisons between the calculated and measured solubilities show that the predicted data have good accordance with the experimental results.
