Measurements of the solubility of HF gas in LiF-PbF2 binary molten mixture
of its eutectic composition have been carried out over a temperature range
between 923 and 1023 K by an elution method. In order to evaluate HF solubi
lity and to obtain values of heat of solution and entropy, preliminary meas
urements of density of LiF-PbF2 have also been performed. The solubility da
ta were found to exhibit the characteristics of a chemical dissolution proc
