Abstract

Recently proposed theory of entropy of mixing of the structurally inhomogeneous binary liquid alloys of alkali metals and group-IV elements is applied successfully to the liquid Na-Sn alloy. This alloy indicates chemical short range ordering (CSRO) i.e. exhibits partially salt like characteristics due to strong tendencies to compound formation, in the solid as well as in the liquid state. So, the generalized model for entropy of charged-hard-spheres mixture of arbitrary charge and size is employed to evaluate entropies of mixing, treating the sample as partially charge transfer system. The computed entropies of mixing are in excellent agreement with the experimental data.
