Activity of the Components of Binary Alloys of Alkali Metals: K–Cs System

  • Published:
High Temperature Aims and scope

Abstract

The experimental data on the pressure of saturated vapors of a molten potassium–cesium system are used to determine the activity of its components at high temperatures. The obtained results are compared with the values of activity of potassium and cesium in liquid K–Cs alloys, which are calculated using their heats of mixture.
