The activities and activity coefficients of the components of the system NaNO 2 3NaNO 3 , obtained from experimental saturated vapor pressures measured at 798, 823, and 848 K, were used to calculate the total and excess partial molar Gibbs energies DG iand total relative and excess thermodynamic properties DG, DG ex , DS, DS ex of the system.Formation of a melt from pure components is accompanied by a change in the thermodynamic functions that characterize the given system. Of particular interest are changes in the Gibbs energy (DG), enthalpy (DH ), and entropy of mixing (DS ). If these quantities are known, the structure of the system and forces of ion3ion interaction between the components can be characterized.The activities a i and activity coefficients g i of the components of the system, determined by measuring the saturated vapor pressures [133], were used to calculate the total partial molar and excess partial molar Gibbs energies [4] for sodium nitrite and nitrate.DG i ! = 2.3RT log a i , DG i ex !! = 2.3RT log g i .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
