 JADRANKA DELCET AND JAMES J. EGAN The free energies of mixing of liquid Ca-Zn alloys at 800°C were determined from emf measurements on cells of the following type us ing CaF 2 as a solid electrolyte:

 Ca-Bt alloys whose thermodynamics have been previously determined were used as reference electrodes. Since CaF 2 possesses some electronic as well as ionic conductivity, the usual equations for obtaining the free energy from the values of electromotive force are not applicable. The emf for Cell [1] is given instead by the following equation first derived by Wagner r' !tCa

 where ui:« and /Lea are the chemical potential of Ca at the left and right-hand electrodes, respectively, and tion is the transference number of ions in CaF 2 which is a function of the chemical potential of ca. The transference number of ions may be expressed as:

 Thus the activity of Ca in Ca-Zn alloys may be determined from Cell [1] if the ionic and electronic conductivity of CaF 2 as well as the activity of Ca in CaBi (xc a = 0.10) alloys are known. The ionic conductivity of CaF 2 has been previously determined by Ure 3 and the electronic conductivity has been measured by the authors. 2
