The e.m.f.'s of concentration cells with transference (i.e. with liquid junction), containing the binary molten salt systems, PbBr2+CsBr, PbBr2+RbBr, and PbBr2+KBr, have been measured as functions of temperature and electrolyte composition. The cell e.m.f.'s have been found to vary with temperature and electrolyte composition in a discontinuous manner: graphs of cell e.m.f. against temperature are in general a number of intersecting straight lines, as are graphs of cell e.m.f. against the negative logarithm of the mole fraction of one component.

The e.m.f.'s of concentration cells with transference containing PbC12 + CsCl molten mixtures have been measured as functions of temperature and electrolyte composition. Graphs of cell e.m.f. against temperature are sets of intersecting straight lines, as are graphs of cell e.m.f. against the negative logarithm of the mole fraction of PbCl2. Diffusion potentials for junctions between pure molten PbCl2 and molten PbCl2 + CsCl mixtures have been determined, as functions of temperature and mixture composition. The results are interpreted to indicate the existence of complex lead-chloride ionic species in the mixtures.

The e.m.f.'s of concentration cells with transference containing PbCl2+KCl molten mixtures have been measured as functions of temperature and electrolyte composition, and compared with previously published data. Graphs of cell e.m.f. against temperature are sets of intersecting straight lines, as are graphs of cell e.m.f. against the negative logarithm of the mole fraction of PbCl2. ��� Diffusion potentials for junctions between pure PbCl2 and PbCl2+KCl mixtures have been evaluated, as functions of temperature and mixture composition. ��� The interpretation of the results supports the hypothesis of the existence of complex lead-chloro ionic species in the electrolytes.

In certain temperature ranges, the e.m.f. of binary molten salt concentration cells without transference can be described by a mole fraction expansion with three constants depending linearly on temperature.With the six constants it is possible to calculate the activity coefficients, the thermodynamic factor, and the excess molar Gibbs function of liquid alkali halide + silver halide mixtures at given temperatures and compositions. The precision of the representation corresponds to an accuracy in the e.m.f. data of 0.5 mV to 1.2 mV.

The densities of molten PbCl2, CsCl, and RbCl and of the molten salt systems PbCl2 + NaCl, PbCl2 + RbCl, PbCl2 + CsCl, CdCl2 + RbCl, and CdCl, + CsCl have been measured to an accuracy of �0.1% by an Archimedean method over a considerable temperature range. Integral and partial molar volume isotherms have been constructed for the above binary systems and are interpreted to show that complex ions are formed in all but the PbCl2+NaCl system.

The enthalpy change on cooling molten and solid salts and their mixtures from temperatures as high as 850� down to 26.9� has been measured by means of a Bunsen-type fusion calorimeter. The enthalpy of formation of solid mixtures has also been measured using a water solution calorimeter. From the combined results, heats of mixing have been determined for the molten salt systems investigated. In each system, with the exception of CdCl2 + PbCl2, the process of mixing is exothermic and the relative magnitude of the results can be explained by the formation of complex ions in the systems CdC12 +NaCl, CdCl2 +KCl, PbCl2 +KCl, and CdI2 +KI. Complex ions have not been detected in the other systems.

The specific conductances of molten mixtures of PbC12+MCl (M = Na, Rb, Cs) have been measured as functions of composition and temperatures from 800�C (or in some cases 850�C) to within a few degrees of the liquidus. The system PbCl2+CsCl exhibits a pronounced maximum of activation energy for conductance at 0.67 mole fraction CsCl. Equivalent conductances of the systems have been calculated and have been plotted against atomic ratio of Pb/Cl. An attempt has been made to explain the conductance results on the basis of the transport theory of Adam and Gibbs. The results are best explained by the presence in the PbCl2+RbCl and PbCl2+CsCl systems of complex ions of formula PbCl42-.
