What would be the effect on hydration radius of ions (say Na+ and Cl-) if I increase salt concentration (NaCl) in a fixed volume of water (say 50 ml)?

01 January 2015 0 7K Report

I am curious to know If I keep on increasing concentration of NaCl...how 'number of water molecules per ion' varies for positive (Na+) and negative (Cl-) ions?
