Activities of silver nitrate in the AgNO3-AgCl system were obtained through freezing point depressions. Activity coefficients were calculated assuming the melt consisted of only simple ions which mixed ideally and then assuming the chloride was totally in the form of the complex cation, Ag2Cl+, which also mixed ideally. The second model proved more successful and was extended to include Ag+Cl- entities in the melt. A formation constant of 12�2 was obtained for Ag2Cl+ at 210�.

Conductivity data have been combined with transport fractions to show that silver chloride in dilute solutions in silver nitrate can be regarded as being almost completely in the form of complex cation. The mobility of the complex ion is shown to be about one-half that of silver ion.

The electromotive forces of galvanic cells for the formation of PbBr2 in the molten binary salt systems, PbBr2-KBr, PbBr2,-RbBr and PbBr2-CsBr, have been measured. Activities, activity coefficients and partial molar free energies have been calculated for each component of the three systems. Integral free energies of mixing have also been calculated. Various models of mixing of molten salts have been applied to the results. The systems contain complex ions, probably mixtures of PbBr42-, PbBr64- with some PbBr3-.

Precise values for the viscosity of silver nitrate show that Frenkel's relation for comparison of the temperature dependence of viscosity and conductivity is valid for this system and that the energy of activation for viscous flow is proportional to that for electrical transport over a range of temperature.

Conductivity and density data have been obtained for the system silver chloride – silver nitrate. The Arrhenius activation energy for electrical migration in molten silver chloride is constant at 1280 cal. mole−1 from 460 to 530 °C.; for silver nitrate there is a variation from 3300 cal. mole−1 at 220 ° to 2700 at 320 °C., which indicates a diminution of structural forces in molten silver nitrate with increase in temperature. The activation energy for binary melts of the two salts at 320 °C. is constant at 2700 cal. mole−1 from 0 to 20 mole % silver chloride; Frenkel's simple equation for the dependence of the activation energy on composition is not supported by this work.

Mathematical formulations for transmembrane potential differences are expressed in terms of ionic activities rather than ionic concentrations, and require knowledge of the activity coefficients of a given ionic species in mixed solutions. Cation-selective glass electrodes have been used to determine sodium and potassium activity coefficients in pure bile salt solutions and in native bile, relative to standard NaCl or KCl solutions. Comparison was made with osmotic coefficients determined by freezing-point depression. Both sodium and potassium activity coefficients in bile salt solutions and in bile were lower than those for NaCl or KCl solutions at corresponding concentrations, with potassium coefficients being lower than those for sodium. These derived activity coefficients have been used experimentally in in vivo and in vitro gall bladder preparations with close agreement between observed potentials and those predicted by the Hodgkin-Katz equation.
