The t h e r m o d y n a m i c p r o p e r t i e s of Z n - G a solutions in the t e m p e r a t u r e r a n g e of 714 to 877 K and c o n c e n t r a t i o n r a n g e of zinc Xzn = 0.01 to 0.9 m o l a r f r a c t i o n were d e t e r m i n e d by the emf method u s i n g c o n c e n t r a t i o n c e l l s with liquid e l e c t r o l y t e and e l e c t r o d e s . The lower v a l u e s of both AffZn and ASZn were obtained f r o m slopes. Also the lower value of the i n t e g r a l m o l a r enthalpy AH was d e t e r m i n e d by m e a n s of K r u p k o w s k i ' s f o r m u l a s in c o m p a r i s o n with c a l o r i m e t r i c data.
