An improved technique has been developed for the determination of the electric, L1 conductivity of reactive molten salts" rod has been applied to cryolite. The method employs a platinum cell with two concentric hemispherical electrodes. This cell is m'dntained a fixed distance below the surface of the molten salt which is held in a larger platinum container. Errors from lead resistance h'tve been eliminated by measuring with a Kelvin double bridge (Thomson bridge) and pol'~ rization difficulties have been minimized by extrapolation of the nearly linear plot of resistance vs. frequency-~/2 to infinite frequency. Conductivities of molten potassium chloride, sodium chloride," rod lithium cloride were determined with a quartz dip-cell. Best v. flues for the conductivities (ohm-~ cm-~) at 1000~ were: cryolite 2.8 (I; potassium chloride 2. g5_~; sodium chloride 4.17~; and lithium chloride at 700~ 6.14. Densities (g/ml), measured by a platinum sinker, were found to follow these equations from the melting points to 1080~: potassium chloride 1.964~). 574" 10-at; sodium chloride 1.969 0.524. 10-a/; cryolite 3.032 0.937. 10-at. The logarithm of equivalent conductance (A) eh, mged linearly with reciprocal absolute temperature (T). Best values for the actiwttion energy for conductance (keal/mole)(calculated as 2.303 times 1.986 eal/mole deg times slope of log A vs. l/T) were: cryolite 4.48; potassium chloride 3.32; sodium chloride 3.04; lithium ehloride 1.70. Maintaining the fused cryolite in contact with an atmosphere of argon as compared with room air had a negligible effect upon the measured conductivity values for cryolite.
