STUDIES ON THE THERMODYNAMICS AND CONDUCTANCES OF MOLTEN SALTS AND THEIR MIXTURES: PART II. THE VISCOSITIES, HEATS OF FUSION, AND HEAT CAPACITIES OF LITHIUM CHLORATE AND LITHIUM CHLORATE–LITHIUM NITRATE MIXTURES

Abstract

The viscosities at different temperatures of pure molten lithium chlorate and of mixtures of lithium chlorate with lithium nitrate have been determined with high precision. The heats of fusion, and the molar heat capacities of both solid and liquid lithium chlorate, and of mixtures of lithium chlorate and lithium nitrate have also been determined. The heat of the transition [Formula: see text] has been obtained as the difference between the heats of solution in water of the two forms. The enthalpy, free energy, and entropy of mixing have been derived.
