Using a modified Archimedean method, the density or liquid bismuth was measured in the ange 400 to 800 deg C, and densities of liquid bismuth-copper solutions containing up to about 3.5 at.% copper were measured in the nange 790 to 810 deg C. The molal volumes of bismuth-copper solutions calculated from the experimentally determined densities were found to be less than those calculated from the rule of mixtures. Partial molal volumes for bismuth and for copper were estimated by the method of intercepts. The results indicate that, as in the case of lead-nickel and lead-copper solutions, the partial molal volume of the solvent, bismuth in the present study, does not differ significantly from its molal volume, and the partial molal volume of the solute approaches a value of zero at high dilution.
