Thermodynamics of Mercurous Acetate from E M. F. Measurements

Measurements of the e.m. f.'s of the cell, have been made over a temperature range from 15° to 40°C. The standard e.m.f. of the Hg/Hg₂Ac₂(s), Ac^? electrode was given by E⁰=?0.8640+1.832×10_×3T?21.84×10_?7T₂. The thermodynamic properties of the reaction, Hg₂Ac₂(s)+2Cl^?=Hg₂Cl₂(s)+2Ac_? and those for the formation of Hg₂Ac₂(s) at 25°C were Computed.
