β¦ Synopsis
Thermal conductivity of molten alkali halides and their mixtures with common anions is measured as a function of temperature. Use is made of the most reliable method of coaxial cylinders made of platinum, with radiation heat transfer being taken into account. It is found to vary directly with temperature. Expressions for its temperature dependence are derived from the experimental observations. Linear relations of the thermal conductivity to the molar volume are established for molten alkali fluorides, chlorides, bromides, iodides and their mixtures with common anions. Deviations from the additive quantities towards smaller values are observed in the case of the mixtures. They are in a good accordance with inverse deviations of their adiabatic compressibility. The heat conduction of ionic melts is semiquantitatively examined. Elementary quantities of heat transferred from cations to anions and vice versa are estimated. collisions of uncharged hard spheric particles according to Osida[lO].

The thermal emf of alkali metal-alkali halide mixtures is calculated on the basis of two models, the Pitzr model which suggests that the metal is completely dissociated to cation and electron, and the Rice model which assumes no dissociation. The Rice model gives surprisingly good agreement with the
The density and surface tension of molten alkali halides and their binary mixtures with common anions and cations are measured as a function of temperature and ionic composition. The equations are derived for their temperature dependences, with experimental error being given on a confidence level 0.
