Abstract

Phase equilibria in the systems zinc chloride - silver chloride and zinc bromide - silver bromide were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, electric conductivity measurements and X-ray diffraction methods. No intermediate compounds were found. Solubility of components in the solid-state is negligible. Both systems are of the eutectic type. The eutectic temperatures in the ZnCl2-AgCl system and in the ZnBr2-AgBr system are 504 K and 551 K, respectively, and the compositions of the eutectic point are 53.5 mol% AgCl and 59.4 mol% AgBr, respectively.
