Abstract

The values of E.M.F. of liquid Au-Tl and Au-Pb systems were measured in the temperature ranges from 700 to 800°C and 700 to 950°C respectively, by using galvanic cells composed of(This article is not displayable.

The values of E.M.F. obtained in both systems showed good stability and linear relationship with temperature.The activities of both components in these systems demonstrate moderate negative deviation from Raoult’s law over the whole concentration range.The maximum values of the heat of mixing are −0.06 kcal/mol for the Au-Tl system at NTl=0.60 and −0.21 kcal/mol for the Au-Pb system at NPb=0.59. The small temperature dependencies of the activities in these systems correspond to these small values of the heat of mixing.In addition, some other thermodynamic functions were derived from the results obtained.
