Cadmium chloride, molten

According to H. le Chatelier, a zmc-chromiain alloy, tsith 7 per cent. Cr, can be obtained by melting zinc mixed with alkali and chromic chloride. G, Hindrichs found that molten zinc dissolves a little chromium an alloy with 5 per cent, of chromium had a break 10°-15° above the m.p, and an arrest near the m.p. of zinc. No cadmium-chromium alloy could be obtained by heating a mixture of the two elements for 6 hrs. at 650°. 

The metal oxide solubilities in the chloride-bromide sequence were shown in our papers to considerably decrease. For example, strontium oxide, which is referred to as moderately soluble in low-acidic chloride melts, becomes slightly soluble in the bromide melt. Calcium and cadmium oxides slightly soluble in chloride melts become practically insoluble in molten bromides. The basic properties of BaO in the bromide melt essentially weaken, and degree of its dissociation, in the saturated solution in molten bromide, considerably diminishes.
