Abstract

The dissolution of silver in its molten chloride and bromide was studied using a chronopotentiometric technique. The solubility of silver in molten and was evaluated by adding small amounts of silver to the salts until saturation was reached, as measured in situ, by anodic chronopotentiometry. The solubility of silver in its chloride at 520°C was 0.0123 mole % and in its bromide, 0.0118 mole % at 500°C. Analyses of the anodic chronopotentiogram wave shapes indicated that the oxidation of the soluble silver species in the chloride and bromide was a reversible one‐electron process. Diffusion coefficients for this species were determined to be in at 520°C and in at 500°C.
