The Thermoelectric Power of the Molten Systems (Ag+Li)NO3, (Ag+Na)NO3, and (Ag+K)NO3

Abstract

In a silver electrodes thermocell the thermoelectric power ε₀ at zero time of the molten salt mixtures (Ag+Li)NO₃ and (Ag+Na)NO₃ at the mean temperature of 340 °C, and of (Ag+K)NO₃ at the mean temperature of 360 °C has been measured. On the basis of these data the transport heats of lithium, sodium and potassium ions in their respective pure nitrates have been roughly evaluated. Moreover a thermodynamical ideal model for the molten salt mixtures in respect to the transport properties is suggested.
