Abstract
Cadmium activities have been obtained for dilute solutions of silver in cadmium at 776 K from emf measurements using the cell: W-Cd|CdI2 + Cd (αCd = 1)||CdI2 + AgI + Cd (αCd < 1)|Cd, Ag-W. When the displacement reaction 2Ag + CdI2 ⇄ Cd + 2AgI is taken into account, the calculated cadmium activities follow the equation αCd = 1 − NAg − 0.607 N 2Ag with a standard deviation of 0.00001 for those measurements (taken by the most precise method) used in the least squares fit. The largest deviation from the curve for all points measured was 0.0006 or 0.9 g/cal in \( {\overline G _{Cd}} \).
