To estimate the concentration of NaCl in the system being modeled, gross volume calculations were performed by defining the surface as the contour of 0.001 electrons/Bohr3 density and using a Monte Carlo integration method . This method yielded volumes of 490 cc/mole and 460 cc/mole for figure and 3D respectively, corresponding to concentrations of 2.0M and 2.2M of NaCl. In comparison, saturated brine is 6.14M NaCl and seawater is 0.469 moles/kg NaCl Dimerization in pure water: 2H4SiO4 + 60H2O system Four species of silica were identified in this system through following the reaction paths and exploring the PES. Namely, these species are orthosilicic acid, OSAZ, H3SiO4 -, and H6Si2O7.
