Molten mixtures of AgCl, AgBr and AgI with alkali molibdates have been investigated. The silver chloride presents stratification phenomena only with Li2MoO4, the silver bromide demixes with Li2MoO4 and Na2MoO4 while the silver iodide demixes with Li2MoO4, Na2MoO4 and K2MoO4. The ability of demixing, for mixtures containing the same halide, increases as the radius of the alkali cation diminishes (or the polarizing power of the same increases).
Moreover the whole composition square of the ternary reciprocal system Ag, Na/Br, MoO4 has been investigated.
