Solubilidade do SrO em NaCl-Kcl fundido a 727ºC

The solubility product value of SrO has been found to be equal to 10-4,2 (molality scale) in molten equimolar mixture of NaCl and KCl at 727ºC, using a potentiometric method involving a calcia stabilized zirconia membrane electrode. This value, which is in a logical agreement with other alkaline-earth oxide determined solubilities, is compared to those of 10-5,8, 10-3,0 and 10-3,08 (molality scale) found in the litterature 33, 22 and 5 years ago, respectively. Such discrepencies have called the attention of the authors, their possible reasons (methodology, titrating agent) are analyzed and a theoretical discussion, for considering the authors' value as more reliable, is given in this paper.
