Abstract
Why is it important to understand the thermodynamic properties of molten salt solutions, and what aspect of these properties is most important? In technologies and sciences where molten salts, slags or magmas are used or studied, one often must calculate the extent of a chemical reaction or of phase equilibria. In order to do this we need to know an equilibrium constant which can be generally written as
The equilibrium constant K is a function of compositions and activity coefficients, the two quantities necessary to define chemical potentials, μ.
