The isothermal surface tensions of the binary, charge-symmetrical mixtures TlNO/sub 3/-LiNO/sub 3/ and TlNO/sub 3/-KNO/sub 3/ are compared with values calculated from equations based on regular solution theory. The deviations found are attributed to the presence of significant non-Coulombic interactions in the melt which invalidate the random mixing assumption implicit in the theoretical equations.
