what is brine
Brine is a solution of salt (usually sodium chloride) in water.In different contexts, brine may refer to salt solutions ranging from about 3.5% (a typical concentration of seawater, or the lower end of solutions used for brining foods) up to about 26% (a typical saturated solution, depending on temperature).t 100 Â°C (373.15 K, 212 Â°F), saturated sodium chloride brine is about 28% salt by weight i.e. 39.12 g salt dissolves in 100 mL of water at 100 Â°C. At 0 Â°C (273.15 K, 32 Â°F), brine can only hold about 26% salt. The thermal conductivity of seawater (3.5% dissolved salt by weight) is 0.6 W/mK at 25 Â°C.
